On my recent visit home, I wanted to check out one of the higher-end restaurants to see what the Brisbane food scene was up to. It took me a while to pick the restaurant, but once I heard about Chef Ryan Squires, I knew this was the restaurant I wanted to go to. Squires has done stints at The French Laundry and el Bulli and with a resume like that, I was intrigued not only about his menu, but also, why/how this caliber of chef ends up in Brisbane. Well, I guess Squires returned back home to open esquire and it made me very happy to see something like this finally hit sleepy Brissie. We came here for lunch -- there were kids involved -- and like one of the other reviewers stated, making a reservation is kinda a pain in the butt. I made the reservation for 8 people about a week before our anticipated visit. I was told that I had to fill out a form and leave a credit card (not a problem). Anyway, after a few days I called back and gave them the credit card info and spoke to a really nice man who ended up letting the filling the form part go. On the day of our visit we arrive to an empty restaurant. The view is lovely, along the Brisbane River, and we were seated at one of those large square tables. Our server Joanna was lovely. I know usually restaurants do not allow some of the table to order the tasting menu and some not, but I think they made an exception seeing we were the only ones in the restaurant. I wanted to get the most of my visit, so order the prix fixe as well as off the a la carte. The prix fixe was AUD75 for 5 courses which includes 2 appetizer-ish dishes, 2-entrees and a dessert. The menu is seafood-heavy taking advantage of all the wonderful fresh seafood available Down Under. I love the presentation and there are definitely hints of the Ferran Adria look on some of the plates. My favorites were the smoked trout, charcoal grilled calamari and charcoal grilled baby octopus, buttermilk fried chicken. Didn't care for the wagyu pastrami. A stellar restaurant -- something Brisbane has needed for a very long time -- bravo! read more

Esquire - Rye Bread with pickles and butter - Australian Near Me - Brisbane, QLD

Pretty happy to say that I've finally undertaken the Esquire experience. What a big tick on the to-do list! A friend and I went a little crazy on a recent Saturday night, and I'm not ashamed to admit it (although my wallet is weeping). Let's talk about the ridiculous and incredible food. No, let's not - I don't want to spoil it too much for you, this is something you should get to experience with as little prior knowledge as possible. Frank D says the menu changes every day, but I think that's a bit of a stretch. I think it's more likely seasonal, and I'm sure that maybe a couple of courses get subbed in and out here and there, but for the most part we had the same menu (with a lot of courses still on the menu from Jess's date in early June). Never mind that, though. Esquire is a treat, not the kind of place you'd go every other weekend (as much as you might want to, and I do). We arrived for a 6:30pm reservation and were seated in the darkest, dingiest corner of the restaurant. Just jokes. We had a table at the full-length windows looking out over the Brisbane River and the Story Bridge. The next three hours or so were spent at our table, dining on course after delicious course. The bone marrow and bread was definitely the most exciting course, presentation-wise, but I've since heard that last week was its last week on the menu, so please don't get your hopes up! There will be plenty of other exciting things for you, don't worry. Also, be sure to slowly sip your palate-cleansing glass of grapefruit soda. Trust me. Little sips. It definitely cleanses the palate. After an amazing degustation with brilliant service, we retired to the informal side of the restaurant and got comfortable at the bar. The brilliant service continued, and it was great to have the opportunity to view the buzzing hive from a different perspective. By the end of the evening we knew almost all the service staff (and some of the chefs) by name, and apprentice chef Erik gave us three house-made chocolate bars to get us out the door. (I do love that even Esquire has "f*ck-off chocolates".) read more

An excellent degustation venue. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Absolutely sensational food. Wine was lacking however. Not enough maturity to compliment the meals. Very young wines. Lacked true depth. Still one of the best meals I have EVER had read more

The 4 of us dined at Esquire to celebrate a birthday. This was our second time at Esquire. Esquire is not the usual entrée, main and desert restaurant. Because it was a birthday celebration, we decided on the full degustation menu. The menu items were:- Kettle chips & ketchup - a lot better than it sounds Jerusalem artichoke & parsley - Kim Chi & Air dried beef - The beef was as thin as paper, and amazing Truffle & Ham - Superb Scallop Nigiri - Delicate Ike Jime Coral Trout - Amazing ..... Bonito & Baby Gem - Nice combination Blue Swimmer Crab & Macadamia - WOW !! Squid, English Peas and Lemon - Yummmm Murray Cod & Miso - Everyone loved it, except me. Spatchcock & Barley - Beautiful Bone Marrow & Bread - The dish of the night Corned Beef - Cavalo Nero & Quark - Corned beef like no other Popcorn - Nothing like movie popcorn Calotte - Onion & Juniper - Medium rare beef that melted in your mouth Pear - Walnut & Licorice - Unusual combo, but it works Campari - Orange Curds & Whey An amazing taste of many superb things. Like Jess D said in her review, The staff are knowledgeable and approachable. The menu changes daily, and they keep coming up with combinations that work. If you go, you will be stunned, amazed, and be shaking your head, it is that good. I didn't rate it 5 stars, only because I am not sure if it is value. I will post some photos later. Enjoy Esquire. read more

Tucked away slightly off the Eagle St Pier riverfront, highly rated Esquire's modern yet minimalist design immediately gives off the vibe of an exciting dining experience to come. The restaurant is actually split into two halves, the degustation-only Esquire and the casual dining Esq, which also offers lunch. I opted for the degustation dinner, wanting to sample the tastes of the north. Headed by Ryan Squires and Ben Devlin, the highly creative menu offers a unique and sometimes downright unusual twists on some modern dishes - the pastrami-style wagyu and coconut cake served with beetroot are particularly notable in this regard. After being greeted and seated, by who I later found out was the restaurant manager and previously the sommelier, the first round of snacks was brought out. These consisted of a crispy dehydrated cabbage leaf with a kimchi glazing, a paper thin slice of beef jerky, a juicy baby cucumber slice, a endive leaf (from the lettuce family) and sprigs of salsify (a root vegetable) coated in a BBQ flavoured powder. Barely even one course in and I've already had two things I've never heard of before, this will be an exciting dinner. The kimchi leaf and jerky are taken from one of the signature dishes available at Esq and offer a unique flavour combination, with the kimchi leaf almost resembling salt and vinegar crisps and the jerky displaying the quality marbling of the meat. Next served was a mini bread degustation as it was put. This was a round slice of warm pumpernickel, quaintly wrapped in paper, served with prune jam, goats curd and a stick of puffed malt bread, finished with sweetened carrot juice. I've never had pumpernickel bread before but its slightly sweet but heavy texture is an interesting profile. The flavours from the juice complimented the bread nicely. The first of the courses was a slice of calotte wagyu steak in yuzu and horseradish sauce. Calotte, also spelt culotte, is a cut of meat from the top sirloin cap. Combined with the sauce, the steak literally just melted in your mouth with a nice citrus tang. Up next was a piece of white asparagus, another thing I've never heard of, dipped in peanut butter, vanilla and sweet corn. The peanuts butter and sweet corn is an interesting combination but it worked. White asparagus was also an interesting choice and seemed to taste like normal asparagus but lighter and slightly sweeter. The next dish was easily a winner in the presentation department, a colourful mix of peas, chicken fat, smoked garlic flowers, esquire ham in a tokay wine broth. The wine broth added a light and subtle body to the rest of the flavours, combining in what could nearly be described as an interpretation of a reduced creamy pea and ham soup. Following this wonderful creation was the next in a series of unusual sounding but stunning dishes. Wagyu beef, pastrami-style, topped with cherry tomato ketchup and pickles. Pastrami of a quality meat adds rich flavours but still leaves some of the succulent melting texture. Complimented by the tomato and pickles, this is a quality dish. The end of the meat dishes was marked by an palate cleansing snack of dried flat Meyer lemon folded over a dollop of Bush honey, presented on some of a large stone. The next dish was rich and mature flavour combination of cheddar cheese, whey, kale and kalamansi lime juice. Although I was not following the matching wines for the rest of dinner, I opted for the match for this particular dish - the Campbells Rutherglen Topaque. I'm a huge fan of muscats and fortifieds as dessert and after meal wines but have never tried them with cheese. What a stunning match this was, almost nearly worth suggesting the reader to go out and get a block of cheddar and a bottle of muscat right now and trying it. After a brief snack of crispy dried radicchio topped with sour cream and porcini shavings, it was onto a series of not one but three desserts. First up was a dish of lemon myrtle, horseradish and white chocolate, displayed like as if snow had fallen on the plate. Horseradish is an ingredient that is growing on me and seems to be a trend of sorts, quite a few restaurants and cafes I've visited recently have made use of it, adding a gentle subtle bite to dishes. The next dessert was another creative one, slightly dried blueberries on a scoop of goats curd ice cream with a sprinkling of mountain pepper leaves. It's hard to fully describe the flavours of goats curd ice cream apart from saying its creamy yet slightly sour or tart frozen goodness is begging to be tried. The pepper leaves added an extra light spice to the combination. Completing this intense eleven course dining extravaganza was probably the most peculiar dish yet. A coconut sponge cake, served in the shell of a coconut, with beetroot and hay cream. Yes, you read correctly. Beetroot. And it strangely worked. Esquire definitely lives up to its ratings and is well on par with top Melbourne restaurants. read more

You wouldn't think the phrase 'cheap lunch' would apply to Brisbane's only three hatted restaurant (as awarded by the AGFG for the third time) but several options on the menu at Esq., the more casual offshoot of Esquire, could be described as that. Esq. is connected to Esquire and the small inside seating area is located near the bar at the entry. Esq. serves up smaller plates and items cooked over their charcoal pit, which differs to Esquire's degustation-only menu. I was pretty excited when it first opened last year (I think) as it meant I could sample things like air-dried beef and kim chi and their famed Curds & Whey dessert without having to do the entire degustation. Still, it took me ages to get there before I had a lovely lunch there at Christmas. When trying to think of a CBD place to have mid-week lunch with an old friend, I recalled Esq. and was able to make a booking easily via a quick email. When we arrived at midday, it was relatively quiet but soon afterwards several more of the tables filled plus there were people enjoying their Street Food offerings for Good Food Month outside on the deck area. The staff were quick to greet and seat us and we were immediately given the wine list and offered water. We were then given a sheet of paper which was the menu. Not surprisingly, it had changed since I was last there but I get the feeling it does change regularly. It is split up into descriptively named sections of Nibbles, Lighter, Substantial, Simply Charcoal Grilled, and Sides, Vegetables & Salads, as well as drinks and desserts. After perusing the menu, I was disappointed to find out that my first choice of the Whole Grilled Sardines with olive oil and lemon ($15) wasn't available. I ended up choosing the Corned Wagyu Beef Sandwich with horseradish and pickles ($14) off the Substantial section and my friend chose the Whole Side of Murray Code with fresh herbs and olive oil ($32), which was the most expensive item on the Simply Charcoal Grilled menu. I was going to order a side or a nibble to go with my sandwich, assuming it would be small given the price, but my friend and I decided to share the Oak Smoked Black Kingfish ($17) and I was assured by our waiter that as the sandwich was quite rich that it would be enough for me. The Kingfish arrived shortly afterwards and was presented as two thick slabs of Kingfish, drizzled with yoghurt, olive oil, lemon and herbs. It had an interesting texture which was tender but had more bite than any kingfish sashimi I've had. It wasn't incredibly flavourful but was more of a delicate taste that I enjoyed but probably wouldn't rush back to order. Soon after finishing, our other meals arrived. My friend's side of Murray cod was a large piece with skin grilled to a crisp and served simply with a wedge of lemon, drizzle of oil and scattering of herbs. I was given a bite and loved how the soft flesh almost melted in my mouth and contrasted with the crunchy skin. The simplicity of the dish meant that with just a squeeze of lemon, the flavour of the cod shone through. My sandwich was not large (about the size of my hand) but was almost as tall as it was wide! It was absolutely stuffed with thinly sliced wagyu corned beef and layers of melted cheese and the thick slices of rye bread were expertly grilled to give it a perfect crunch. A few thin slivers of pickles poked out and horseradish sauce and a spicy red sauce were smeared on the inside of the slices of bread. After attempting to be ladylike and use my knife and fork, the sandwich fell apart so I gave up and just used my hands. Oh my God, it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. If I hadn't recently experienced a Beerkary smoked beef sandwich (courtesy of Esquire chef Ben Devlin's side project), I would say it was the best. The crunchy bread had a strong rye flavour which married well with the soft, tender corned wagyu and creamy salty cheese. The horseradish and spicy sauce gave a much-appreciated kick to each mouthful and the pickles added some sourness. Altogether a flavour explosion in my mouth that I never wanted to end! The only change I'd consider would be to add a few more pickles, but I'm a bit pickle crazy. After I finished it, I was absolutely stuffed and had no room for dessert. My friend had room though and ordered the Curds & Whey dessert - Campari Sherbert with Curds & Whey ice cream. I'd had it on my last visit but had another try this time and it was as good as I remembered. The Campari sherbert had a lovely zing and bitterness that worked well with the creamy ice cream. A sprinkling of icing sugar, or possibly sweet sherbert, offset the bitterness of the Campari. Overall it was a great lunch and the calm and quiet atmosphere was perfect for all the catching up we had to do. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Do yourself a favour and get down to Riverside immediately to try it - in particular the sandwich! read more

The day in late April when Esquire was announced as the Good Food Guide's Queensland restaurant of the year, I was straight on the phone to make a reservation. For weeks a girlfriend and I had been throwing around possible dates for an Esquire degustation and the prospect that all this publicity may make it harder to get a table forced me to take action. The date was set for a Friday night in early June. We were both a little bit excited. How wonderful then that our anticipation was matched by the experience on the night. We chose the 8-course degustation with beverage pairing, and what a fun food adventure it was. From the first taste of the air-dried wagyu amuse bouche to the last mouthful of the Campari with curds and whey, it was an entirely memorable four-hour dining experience at Esquire. Our menu that night included: - Blue swimmer crab with macadamia and coffee - Raw wagyu with egg yolk and nori - Mussels with tomato and itchi bai - Skate with buttermilk and garlic seeds - Corned beef with cavalo nero and pickles - Calotte with artichoke and onion - Chocolate with pumpkin and sesame - Camapri with curds and whey There were of course the little extras and in-betweens that make fine dining such an experience. We were both pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed the in-between course of marrow on toast - it was delicious and something I would never say yes to if presented as a menu option. Although, next time I will probably say no to the wine pairing - it was a little too much for me. Could have been that I had stopped by the Laneway on the way to Esquire for a quick post-work drink, but I definitely felt a little too-well lubricated by the end of dinner. In future, I might just stick to a glass or two of wine rather than going with the beverage pairing. But horses for courses, and all that. It has to be noted that Esquire is not at all stuffy and pretentious. The staff are knowledgeable and approachable and it wouldn't be half as good a restaurant if this were not the case. They've done really well with their staff selection. I particularly loved that our waitress, who was studying graphic design, was able to give us some commentary on the menu paper when we were discussing it. It was just an off-hand comment about the paper, but she came back to us with full details of the gsm and a little commentary on the design. I will definitely be back to Esquire and I'm really hopeful when I return it will still have that balance between special and approachable. read more

Fantastic degustation. The meals were amazing. We had a ten course meal and each meal was served with matching wines. I recommend this place for a special event due to the price. Who would have thought you could have had mushroom cake for dessert? The atmosphere is fantastic if there isn't a large party. Unfortunately the noise levels were high due to a large party. Other than that they had impeccable customer service. Side note to this, if paying by card they don't have a "tip" option...which makes it a little uncomfortable but on the other hand may be they pay their staff well enough not to expect a tip. If you're the tipping kind carry cash. Otherwise a fantastic and romantic venue with a prime view of our lovely story bridge at night. read more

Esquire - Our menu. Nice touch with the "happy anniversary " at the end - Australian Near Me - Brisbane, QLD

So, where do I begin? I could start at the beginning, which is a tale of a wonderful chef who worked for some other people and never quite got to do what he wanted.... We can then pick up the story with a news headline "Ryan Squires to open his own restaurant in the Brisbane CBD" and the level of excitement that this generated in my home! Esquire was born and from that spawned it's little brother Esq, which is where we pick up the tale today. Esq is quite simply the cheapest Three Hat restaurant in Australia and leverages off its big brother Esquire. The food is cooked over an open charcoal pit, which gives the food a wonderful flavour. Ryan is a genius and the food that comes from the kitchen is cutting edge and pushes the boundaries. If this sounds exciting, it is! What I love best is the ability to have a fantastic three hat meal at an extraordinarily low cost. My food of choice today was Gyoza, a double hit. So simple and so satisfying. Get in and check this place out! read more

Esquire which is located at Eagle Street Pier, the majority of which flooded during the Queensland Floods of 2010, is the bastard offspring of the now defunct Buffalo Club. Years ago when Buffalo Club was operating in Fortitude Valley, chef Ryan Squires was named Young Chef of the Year whilst at that place. Not long after receiving the award, he parted company with the Buffalo Club. Just over a year ago, he opened the aptly named Esquire and it wasn't long after Esquire started trading, Buffalo Club shut its doors. Buffalo Club was my favourite restaurant when I lived in Brisbane and I am happy to see that its legacy lives on with Ryan Squires emulating what he started so many years back but taking it to the next level in a restaurant with water views, smooth colours and quirky touches. Upon entering the restaurant, my cultured friend and I were shown to the bar. From here we were able to observe the open kitchen and take advantage of the personal beverage service in a very hospitable setting by Brisbane standards. After being led into the dining room, we selected the seven course degustation menu with matching wines ($190) and promptly were served Ryan's version of amuse bouche which were house made Kettle chips of sorts. They were much better compared to anything you would find in a bag sold at Coles. Blue Swimmer Crab with Macadamia and Coffee matched with 2002 Eden Valley Riesling followed. Avid readers of this blog will know that Blue Swimmer Crab is one of my favourite things to eat. This dish certainly does not disappoint. The flavours, all when blended certainly enhanced the experience with the crab and even now writing about it, I am salivating. A Tomme de Chevre with Apple and Almond matched with a 2011 Terlan Pinot Gris was followed by Murray Cod wisely matched with a 2010 Paco Lola Albarino from Spain. The fish literally melted in my mouth and the flavours, which were enhanced by the wine, made this perhaps my favourite dish. The Lamb Belly with Eggplant and Cavalo Nero matched with a 2010 Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon was the first red wine matched dish. Sometimes restaurants get carried away with how Lamb Belly is served but not in this case. What I thought would be a tedious match, being the eggplant, turned out to be delightful, all the more enhanced by the selection of wine. The Coal Roasted Highly Marbled Beef served with Parsley and Horseradish was good however I felt that different cutlery was needed to slice the beef since you were left to your own devices to cut it. The standard knife on offer forced you to slice it thicker than you probably should have. A small complaint but nothing that really distracted me from the tasty dish which was matched with a 2010 Maronga Mataro from the Barossa Valley. Perhaps the most intriguing and playful dish was the dessert. Campari - Orange, Curds and Whey matched with Moscato. It certainly cleansed my palate but was also a beautiful and elegant way to end this adventure in wild Brisbane. We were amazed that such quality and artistic elegance was able to be compressed into such an inexpensive tasting menu. Although the restaurant is beautifully designed, I noticed as more tables were seated that the place inevitably got much louder than really anticipated. It did not distract from the enjoyment of the meal though. One of my biggest annoyances with restaurants in Brisbane is that the service is far too relaxed. Even when I visited Aria in Brisbane, the server actually was boasting about how nice it is to be able to work at a more casual pace compared to the Sydney location. Although service remained professional, I did notice the casual approach alive and kicking at Esquire. Fortunately because this was a degustation and we were enjoying our casual relaxing afternoon, I had no problem with this theme on the day but others may be put off by it if they are epicureans in Brisbane (yes, a few do exist) or are visiting from Melbourne or Sydney. read more

Flew to Brisbane to go to Esquire for a friend's birthday. I had very high expectations and I was not disappointed. Paired wines were a good mix of (young) regional and some old world. The wagu and the pastrami were standouts. read more

I was treated to a night at Esquire for a work Christmas party a couple of years ago. First things first: this place is way, way out of my price range or that of a regular person, so TREAT is the operative word here. Arrived at the restaurant slightly prior to our booking time and our group were given a space at the bar to drink champagne in the meantime. At this point the boss informed us that we would be doing a 12-course degustation with wine matching. Matching wine, you say? We were excited. Upon being seated, our sommelier (degustation spirit guide) came over to talk us through the evening. This guy was awesome. Charismatic, knowledgeable and super friendly to us common people. What followed was a delicious, boozy journey that I would be thrilled to take again. I had a separate (vego) menu to the others and Mr Sommelier took just as much time to explain my dishes and thoughtfully paired wine as everyone else's. Would 100% go back again (if I won lotto or if someone else was paying). Come here for an extravagant celebration or proposal. read more

we were a party of 5. I could not believe how terrible a night not one but all of us had. There were issues with meals not being cooked properly and staff simply not addressing our concerns or even coming to discuss an alternative to a chicken dish which was raw. This happened on more than one occasion. When the bill came we actually asked for simply one degustation meal to be removed from the bill. The manager went and phoned the owner who simply stated that the bill stands. After numerous direct emails with the owner Ryan, I couldn't get him to understand and he felt we owed the wait staff apologies. this was a first for myself who dines out regularly. I have asked other frequent diners I know we all seem to have the same thoughts. Unfriendly waitstaff and although high quality foods just not hitting their mark when being prepared. read more

I absolutely loved dining at Esquire. The food was incredible and the service was phenomenal. I will absolutely be back!

I had my first Esquire experience in December 2012 and my god it was life changing! We had the seven course degustation with matching wines. The plate of air dried delicacies were intriguing and amazing... Such a talking point. Stand out dishes for me were the Blue swimmer crab and sweet corn... Divine, the Southern squid, lemon and peas... Phenomenal and frustrating at the same time. It was so amazing I just couldn't get it into my mouth quick enough and I just didn't want it to end and finally the Campari, orange, curds and whey was mind blowing! The only flaw was the acoustics of the actual restaurant itself... So very loud. read more

This was our second time at Esquire. Once in 2014 . In 2014 the service and food we could not fault. In 2016 , the service and food was terrible. They have dropped the ball big time. We were greeted by a concierge on the phone, who simply walked away from us and left us standing there waiting to be seated. Then a waitress came over, but she couldn't help. Then another waitress came over and she was able to find our booking and showed us our seat. We were given a wine list but no menu for about 5 minutes....can't choose your wine without knowing what you're going to eat surely ? Then we were offered water, we chose sparkling ( unfortunately most of the bottle was given away to someone else , we got 2 glasses from the bottle ). The meals were very average, over salted on 3 of the 4 meals we had. We had seafood , then a meat dish...but we weren't offered clean plate and cutlery....had to ask for that ! Wine by the glass list....not 2 Hat Restaurant quality I'm afraid. This place is on the way out I'd say. read more

We were in a party of 8 and had the full degustation. The wines accompanying the meal were all excellent and I commend the waiter's knowledge about them. The food whilst very good was varied and covered the full spectrum of taste, flavours and textures. I did however feel somewhat like a koala at the end of the meal as it did consist of a number of dishes incorporating roots and leaves. The deserts were just fantastic and perhaps the best and most imaginative I have eaten. The service was exemplary as you would expect. read more

Spectacular. This is a world beating restaurant, a tasting menu that's a bargain and French Laundry/Nathan Myrhvold style trendy science/chemistry/cuisine that's as delicious as it is clever. Generally I don't care for the technology side of food, the sous vide, freeze dry and liquid nitrogen stuff, stuff that's often more clever than good. But Esquire makes it work, and it does so beautifully, graciously, and memorably . . . wonderful food. They do a shorter and a longer tasting menu . . . we did the shorter, which was more than enough, but left us very curious at what we'd missed. Everything we had was terrific, served by a staff that was low key and yet passionate about food. Brisbane is lucky to have such a terrific restaurant, and any traveler passing through owes it to themselves to give it a try. At A$120, the tasting menu is an extraordinary bargain -- you can easily spend double elsewhere and not get a meal half as good. My #1 for world's best bargains in great food . . . You can easily spend two or three times the bill in the US and get food that is not nearly as good as Esquire. read more
