Thankful that I ate a snack first!…read more I'll state upfront that I'm not a fan of formal dining as things like ambiance and atmosphere do not register on my importance meter nor does location or waterfront views. Having said that, La Vue likely would register high in those categories but I'll leave that review to someone else as I usually only comment on food and service. Tonight I had an average experience here. The food was wonderfully prepared and thoughtfully presented but nothing jumped out as remarkable to me. No bold flavors or original dishes. Serving size vs price was what one would expect from a waterfront fine dining restaurant so I won't complain about that. (I know places like this usually have modest servings so I had a snack before going!) Slightly disappointed with the slow service. We were only one of two tables seated on a Wednesday night yet our entrees and deserts were very slow to arrive. Another reason I'm glad I had a snack first! If it was a busy weekend night this would have been understandable but tonight this place was empty. In the end, this place falls in the "take it or leave it" category.

My very first Australian review! I have been waiting god knows how many years to write up my Aussie…read morereviews because god knows how many of them I have piling up through the years from visiting my family and friends down under. I am happy to report that my first review will be Montrachet, a place my parents love to go to and brought my son and I when we last visited. When I was at university, Paddington was one of the hot spots where we'd go hang out at. Montrachet is located in Paddington. Like the other reviewer said their opening times are limited and you have to make reservations way in advance. During some times of the year they are closed for weeks on end so it makes it really inconvenient if you're wanting to go dine there. On the night of our visit we arrived to find the dining room bustling - which I was told is typical. Since there were four of us we ordered appetizers and entrees (in Australia, entrees are appetizers while entrees are referred to as 'mains'). We had Morton bay bugs and quail to start, both my mom's favorites. Then we moved onto duck and steak and my son had a lobster ravioli. I remember thinking everything was good but didn't blow me away. I had heard my folks rave on and on about this place so I guess my expectations were high. But then, both my parents mentioned that everything they tasted that evening wasn't up to par with their previous visits -- they visit at least once a month -- and my mom even apologized that it happened on the night I visited because it was such a rare opportunity that I was able to come. The chef/owner came out to say hello to my parents and my dad naturally mentioned that I was a blogger blah blah and since I was taking photos of the meal the chef asked me to please write about Montrachet. Unfortunately I didn't blog about it and am glad that finally I am able to. I didn't go home this summer. Maybe I will next summer. I know my girlfriend celebrated her birthday there a few months ago and had a fantastic time. I guess I need to go back again. 3.5 stars!

I can highly recommend this new addition to the Brisbane dining scene for lunch or dinner!

If you're not too queasy thinking about the $45 expense, then unclasp the vintage suitcase and indulge in a selection of macaroons, lemon meringue tarts, choux pastry, scones and ribbon sandwiches to name a few delicious delights. I'm a huge buffet fan so I was a little disappointed that the suitcases weren't refillable but honestly by the time I emptied my case, I couldn't have fitted another bite. Located in Club Sofitel on the 30th floor, bring along a camera to capture the amazing views of Brisbane City. If you feel the urge to dress up to fit in with the opulent surroundings, I would recommend a 'fat dress' - an elegant yet loose baby doll style dress so adept at hiding food babies. Note to self: It's not classy to steal the suitcases though understandable.

Good Food Month in Brisbane is still in full swing so decided to visit Customs House as part of the…read more"Let's do lunch" event. Customs House is one of Brisbane's heritage icons owned and operated by the University of Queensland, located on the river in the CBD. The restaurant is a spectacular venue with seating inside beautiful heritage surroundings or outside the terrace overlooking the river and Story Bridge. For $38pp "Let's do lunch" offers entree, main, & a choice between a glass of Yalumba Eden Valley Viogner or Coopers 62 Pilsner. Entree is an exquisite pork croquette, cinnamon apple sauce & fried kale. So flavoursome, with great crunchy textures & the sweet sauce was a nice finish. What a start! Main dish is a roasted barramundi with smoked white bean puree, crispy artichoke, wilted spinach, & black olive tapenade. Another standout, well balanced dish. Perfectly cooked barra, crunchy textures of the artichoke being balanced by the soft spinach. The tapenade gave a salty flavour and the puree provides a smooth finish. Amazing! Though i prefer Rieslings, the glass of viognier was a nice match to our meal. Slightly fruity & smooth, a little like a chardonnay. Service was top notch throughout, & overall, a very enjoyable, great value, outstanding lunch. As dessert was not part of the $38 deal, we paid $17 and decided to share a Customs House classic creme brulee with biscotti. It was one of the biggest creme brulees i've ever had so i'm glad we shared one. Absolutely perfect, and a brilliant way to finish lunch. Doing a "Let's do lunch" during a weekday has its benefits. No crowds, the Restaurant is practically all yours, and therefore all eyes, and ears of staff are on you. One feels like a VIP. Afterwards take in some amazing views, stroll along the boardwalk by the river, & fall in love with Brisbane
