The food is spectacular, the staff are spectacular. It has to be seen to be believed. For what you receive the prices are more than reasonable. Desserts are decadent, breakfast and lunch are always served with much thought and care. I know that i can always expect the best at French Twist. It is so earthy and green, showcasing some of the gorgeous Flora we have in Brisbane. The only thing i can suggest is to go there and see for yourself.

I had the french toast with nutella, banana and strawberries (also came with vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce but I'm lactose intolerant) For $14 it was definitely worth it!

Will definitely be coming back.

Mine was very pretty and we got our food very quickly after ordering. We might have liked to sit inside, they had a whole room of empty tables... but it was a nice day outside so we didn't mind the weather. Definitely a solid spot for a good meal before hitting south bank or to walk along the parks and creek nearby.

Well we got seated, checked the menu and ordered. Service was friendly although on the slower side, gave us time to talk. Food came out in spurts - my other half was having a muffin and coffee - so the muffin teased us for about three minutes until the coffee came. The food is good to excellent - the crowd was doing it justice. Coffee was very drinkable - really good. The food was a bit pricey. Getting the park was an issue as it is on street parking and ended up having a walk. Overall really good.

It's based in a small, suburban shopping centre in the Coorparoo/Camp Hill area.Inside there's a deli counter and little mini grocery store (stocking high end oils, vinegars etc etc). And a huge trestle table where you can sit and sip coffee or brunch. If you're after more space, just outside you can sit in the cafe's "extension", which is quite spacious, airy and has huge French windows that open out. Unfortunately onto a carpark. I came here to order some gourmet salads for Christmas Day. And although they sounded amazing, creative and probably would have tasted divine - at $23.50/kilo, I had to fan myself with the menu and have a sit down. Before leaving without ordering. I have it on good authority that this is THE place that locals come for brunch on a weekend (but book a table). And the sarnies are apparently to-die-for. As is the expense, I'm sure.

The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and the space makes it an easy option if you're looking to meet up with family or friends. While not extensive the menu is sure to feature at least something that will interest you. My personal pick being the BLAT with its thick bacon, generous smear of avocado and mayo it is a real treat. Their coffee is Merlo and is good without being anything to write home about. All things considered, a Sunday morning coffee and BLAT in their very open and breezy outside seating area is a great way to start winding down the weekend.

They were showing off a few items on their menu and gorgeous cocktail creations. My favorite was the rum punch. It is refreshing and before you know it, you need a refill. The food was incredible. Wagyu beef sliders with guacamole. Yes! I also loved the croquettes they were serving. For desert, the brought out brownies bites and strawberry tarts. I could have had a whole tray of strawberry tarts. The staff were SO nice!!! Even with so much going on and trying to keep up with the demands, the made sure you had a drink in your hand and you were having a great time. This made a great impression on me. I haven't been to the area so that made it even more appealing to come back. If this is just the preview of what kind of food and drink Chester B&B will serve, I will definitely be making the trek back real soon and bringing my friends!

It seems almost wrong 'updating my previous review' for Chester Street because the difference…read morebetween the same venue post-renovation and reformulation is vast. Seemingly as soon as they store opened under the hands of Damien Griffith, it shut for a little face-lift. While locals have been enjoying the fruits of a pop-up bakery while the renos were underway, the curtains were finally lifted this week in a series of test kitchen dinners and finally the grand re-opening on Friday. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the test kitchens (as a guest of the venue), and being on a table with other food bloggers meant we were able to sample almost 80% of the menu. From bar bites including a wagyu burger (my favourite), braised leek & bacon croquettes, fresh gravlax, creamy hummus with spiced lamb (which could have come with more than one slice of bread given the ample serving of hummus - it easily fed 6 of us), and a duck and mushroom pie (for the price, myself and others on the night agreed it could come with more of a ploughman's plate arrangement. The duck was moist and the side of pear chutney complimented it well). There's mains like the grilled barramundi (not amazing and a little dry in parts) or the lamb (this was the hero dish from everyone at the table). And, if there was still any room left there's a range of desserts by Jocelyn Hancock including my personal favourite the chocolate and almond cake with espresso creme fraiche. There's also a passionfruit tart, deconstructed eton mess and citrus cake. The space is beautifully simple with white subway tiles leaving way for the main attraction; the wood fired oven. Bakery by day, bar by night, this concept as are many born from Damien Griffith, is an ambitious one. But, if there's anyone in Brisbane to make it work it's this guy. It's novel to think that the same spot that can provide you a fresh loaf of ciabatta or sourdough at 7am can be feeding you delicious meals (either constructing a meal from the bar bites and sharing amongst a group or taking advantage of a main to yourself) and cocktails (try the Aperol Peach Spritz for a Summer refresher) at 7pm in the same day. I think this venue's versatility, location just a hop, skip and jump from James Street and combination of accessible fuss-free food with a focus on premium ingredients gives it an edge as the new "hot spot" in the area.
