It is true that the food has not always excited us, but is great as river side venue where it's good people watching and enjoying the sunset. The tunes are pretty decent also. However, Byblos truly stands out as cocktail bar with many unique creations on offer. The bar tenders are fun and produce consistently excellent drinks. To ensure maximum enjoyment of said cocktails, it's best to go for Sunday afternoon happy hour from 3-7. Cocktails $10; beer/wine $5.

We recently noticed, while driving past, that No No's had an exterior makeover since our previous…read moredining disaster there when new owners took over and we vowed never to return. So, being curious, we decided to stop in, at our own peril, to happily discover the previous owners have returned, turfed out those they sold to, and have really made the place look more Lebanese fast-food fashionable. There's a massive menu board with a broader array of kebabs, meat options and salads, and more much-needed interior seating. However, there's been a big change to the pricing too with a Shish Kebab previously $9.50, now $16, and lacking tabouli...which used to be on every kebab and made a disappointing difference to the Lamb & Beef Shawarma Rolls (aka Doner Kebabs) we ordered today. They lacked flavour that the tabouli added and with just diced lamb and beef, lettuce, tomato, hummus, onion and a squirt of tahini wrapped in a toasted pita bread it just wasn't the same. And this from the original owners and their kebab recipes! Can adding tabouli really be that unprofitable? We're happy that No No's has returned to it's "almost" former self and there were plenty of customers enjoying the Lebanese food. And while the place looks great inside and out, it just wasn't the same that we had come to know and love before the carnage of the sale and buyback. Please consider a return of tabouli.

We had been customers for 25 years at NONOS authentic Lebanese cuisine, so sad to see that the…read moreprevious owners have sold up and moved on. To our disappointment the new owner I believe is the ruin of NONOS, it is just not the same anymore. There were so many negatives about this place, for a start the hummus was very dry and missing the lemon ingredient, there was no tabouli because he did not make any, the bean salad was not fresh. The sweets cabinet was nearly empty and the cabinet kept with the vine leaves and kibbie were not on display but were all covered in thick plastic bags. If the new owner continues down this road, he will have killed off all the "good will" the previous owners built up. They always worked so hard at their business and they made everything from scratch. NONOS is gone and will never return, I will miss the great food and warm wonderful service and I will always have great memories

I was craving middle eastern food while visiting my parents and when my god-parents wanted to have…read morelunch one day I suggested we go and have a middle eastern meal. My god-mother's friend suggested King Ahiram. The place is just a take-out place with an adjoining room with tables and chairs where you can have a "sit-down" meal. So we ended up ordering a selection of items. I don't know. I am used to going to Little Arabia for my middle eastern food here in southern California and my favorite place in Brisbane is Nono's and omg.... the food here was kinda on the dismal side. I felt really bad that my parents and god-parents had to sit through a different cuisine which I've been touting as so fabulously delicious only to be faced with really sub-par Mediterranean food. We had falafels, hummus, babaghanoush, kebabs, these crescent pastry things which looked like empanadas -- everything was mediocre at best. The meat was dry, the dips needed more olive oil.... falafels were hard as rocks. Tabouleh was flavorless. I never heard the end of it after the meal, even from my son who is an avid fan of this cuisine. We are definitely going back to Nono's next time.

King Ahiram was always a popular option among my uni friends when we needed a quick, cheap meal…read more The funny thing was that nobody actually knew what this place was called because the most prominent words on the sign are CAFE LEBANESE FOOD. It's only when you really take notice that you see King Ahiram's name on there. So yeah, until I paid closer attention when I decided to review it, this place was always known to me and everyone I know as 'the Lebanese place'. I guess the point I'm making is that at a place like this the name is unimportant. The food is tasty, cheap, and a bit on the greasy side so it ticks all the boxes for hungry youths. I wouldn't go here expecting a gourmet meal, but for the prices and the convenience it's worth munching on a felafel kebab or cabbage roll. 'The Lebanese place' might not be fit for a King despite its namesake, but it's definitely fit for a starving student.

Ave Cucina & Cafe in leafy Eva St, Coorparoo is a quaint little cafe that has been around for a…read morewhile now; one that we've always wanted to try, serving food with an Italian & Middle Eastern influence. As soon as we walked in, the smell of heavenly coffee filled the room, & we noticed the beautiful interior of the cafe, which was very inviting & we immediately felt at home due to it's relaxed setting. We ordered: 1) Open chicken panino, grilled chicken, crispy bacon, haloumi, tomato, avocado, rocket, house aioli, shaved provoloni cheese ($17). 2) Lebanese breakfast potatoes, & messy eggs, labne, cucumber, olive salads, pickels, zaatar bread ($17) + extra mushrooms ($4). Both dishes were so delicious, we could've had another serving! Coffee is by DiBella using the Modena blend. A blend that is smooth, & not bitter. Overall, the service was excellent, food & coffee was great, so we would definitely come back, & try some of the other delicious dishes on offer. It's really nice to experience little gems like this in the 'burbs. It's child & family friendly being next to a child care centre, & a very comfortable atmosphere. Bless, All day menus! ( Ave Cucina's is 7:30 - 2pm).

Yes, yes, YES! Ave, you outdid yourself on my recent visit for breakfast with some friends. I…read morecannot rave more about our experience...but I'm going to anyway! Atmosphere- relaxed, local and friendly. Coffee- smooth, rich and perfect. Food- delicious, reasonable, hugely portioned and clearly made with love. One of the most wonderful things was that we sat down at 9am and didn't leave until 12pm. Not once were we pestered or asked if we wanted the bill. We were left to eat, catch up on conversation, drink caffeine and be merry. It's so rare that you find a great brekky place that doesn't get people in, feed them, then get them to leave. Ave is worth the trip to the eastern burbs. I will most definitely be back again....and again.
