Litse serves a brilliant dinner menu, to say in the very least. Even though it had a recent menu…read morechange, the place is still synonymous with amazing quality food. It's a family owned and run business that brings sunshine and happiness to all locals. And by sunshine and happiness I mean an awesome range of starters, tapas, and desserts. There's literally anything to satisfy any palate from crispy chicken, fish, salads, haloumi, pork, beef, and the most fantastic chips with aioli sauce that I just can't resist whenever I go there. Vegetarians and gluten intolerants don't despair, Litse has menu options for you too, with an impressive amount of options being gluten free and healthy. You can also choose a cheese platter from 10am onwards which makes someone like me squeal in delight. Litse also has a range of wines for those enthusiasts, but also a kids menu for the little ones. There is something for everyone and it all has a touch of easy sophistication. You'll pay more for mains here - in excess of $20 and sometimes up to $30 - but for an indulgent meal, it's well worth it. Litse also has an all day breakfast menu with traditional bacon and eggs, omelette, and free range eggs on sourdough, just to name a few options. Sample a dessert and let them recommend a wine to complement it. At Litse, I'm almost certain you'll have the best possible experience. I love it here and I always have.

I was expecting that the place he mentioned, the Liste Lounge was going to be some type of tip rat burger place. Man, never in my mind have I ever been willing to be more wrongly surprised. The place had a Mediterranean lean to it, with its earthy painted tones. The staff who welcomed us appeared to be happy to be there. I was more than ready to eat. I mean if these people were convinced they were working on a Saturday, I was ready to be served. I ordered a flat white, an orange juice and traditional bacon and eggs with a side of mushrooms. Price wise, it was a little expensive but what they brought out was worth it. The bacon was crisp and not oily, eggs cooked to my request perfectly and the mushrooms hinted with garlic and seasoning a winner. The Coffee was made exactly how I wanted it and was a great drink to accompany my meal. I left Liste with a little less money than what I'd hoped to spend but the service and experience proved to be my reward.

So this place has some bad reviews, I've been coming here since the day it opened.. if you come on…read moreany day of the week it's usually busy and it's one of the biggest tourist spots in Brisbane so be prepared to wait as many people have stated. I'd hire more staff if it was my place but at the same time this cafe's kitchen is tiny so I doubt that would help all that much. In saying that the food was actually really nice and the staff were pretty friendly and I was happy with my experience even tho I got the wrong drink brought to me but that's ok because it's not hard to make a cup of tea. It can be a little fresh and windy but hey you're eating in the side of a cliff so deal with it. I've been when it's good and when it's not so good. I'd still go again wth those odds. If you like coffee you won't be too disappointed as it's usually good and fast. Give it a go

A couple of the boys decided to gather up some change and head off to the closest fish and chip store so we could gather a feed to mung on so we could forget the day's pitiful athletic display. Half an hour later those boys returned to a finished game and handed out the packs of food to share. We all chomped into freshly crumbed fish that wasn't too oily and chips that were crisp and had a hint of being freshly cut. It wasn't the best we'd ever tasted but it was still worth the little money we could for out. When it was all gone we decided to leave the field of sporting nightmares. But at least the taste of defeat was gone.

A lot can happen in 12 months and thus it's time to update my previous review of The Lodge. Now a…read moreresident on "this side of town" I find The Lodge a great local spot to have up my sleeve and have grown to appreciate the healthy menu items, the fact they pour Odyssey Project beans (a personal favourite) and the opportunity to see an array of customers come in and out as they go about their day. Their all day menu gives plenty of options and all items feature a focus on fresh ingredients and a good dose of wholesome nutrition. I had the brekkie wrap this morning with mushrooms, spinach, eggs and onion relish. For less than a tenner it set me up for a day of errand running. There's no effort from the staff to rush you and it's become a great spot to bring my notebook for a session to gather my thoughts before really getting into the day. Lani of 2015 really thinks Lani of December 2013 was being way too harsh.

Sure it's not a zoo or a massive location, but it's up close and personal. There plenty for a toddler to look at and enjoy. Don't expect a adults type location. It's really for kids to explore. There's an outside walk where you can pat a roo (if your keen to go up to one) and a wombat. Inside there's aquariums with cat fish, platypus's, snakes, frogs and an atrium with a collection of native birds. They do feeding every now and then with tours as well. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. The cafe is quite reasonable. The food is delivered so check that they have received the delivery when u arrive if you plan to eat early (before around 10:30). Parking was easy and there's some great walks around the reservoir. All up I'd highly recommend this little hidden gem in The Gap.

The "zoo" is small but there are beautiful animals; some inside (snakes, fish) others in open air. Really very nice setting and worth a visit. We also ate here; food was ok and came out slow.

I ordered the OG burger with aioli sauce and a GF bun. GF is typically stale and that can take away from the overall taste, but the burger was great and made up for that.

I love the atmosphere and the buzz that this place has brought to Blackwood Street from the day it…read moreopened, especially at night when the street used to be eerily quiet. Not anymore, with tables packed and people queuing out Miss Kay's door. So there's many things to like about this place, sadly the burgers isn't one of them :( I've tried 3 different burgers and they all lacked some kind of sauce or marinade for my liking. I don't really mind what they put on it, I'd be happy with ketchup, BBQ, mayo, aioli, satay, sriracha - my palate is a broad church. The burgers just need something in my opinion. As for the sides, the fries are good but they really need a smaller sized option for those grabbing a solo weekday lunch. The $8.50 milkshakes have cool names, and they would be fine if they were half the price or twice the size. Overall, unfortunately it doesn't look like this place is for me.

Let me start off by saying that I am not much of a drinker, and wouldn't usually review a pub,…read morethough believe that the establishment is a lot better than the existing reviews make it out to be, providing that you have the right expectations when visiting a pub. I have visited Finnigan's Chin numerous times over the past 3 years, and find the atmosphere to be pretty down to earth, the staff to be friendly and the food and drinks to be of a reasonable price and quality. Don't visit expecting really trendy pub food, though if you enjoy a good steak, Chicken Schnitzel or Bangers and Mash along with a drink, then you should leave feeling satisfied. Finnigan's Chin often does raffles around dinner time, giving you the chance to win a meat tray or a drink voucher, which can be a bit of fun. There is plenty of free parking around the establishment.

Finnigan's Chin is another one of those Irish bars that have all the stereotypical clichés like the…read moredarken wood floors, dimply it room and musty beer smell to it but there's nothing that makes it any different than the multitude of "UK" bars in Brisbane. I went there for a cheap feed with my wife one night and we both decided to get the chicken schnitzel that was a bargain for fewer than ten dollars. A couple of drinks and thirty minutes later our plates were served. The schnitzel was of a pretty standard size, the standard of what you would buy at Woolies. The salad was freshish and was heavily coated in a vinegarette. The chips were on the soggy side of crisp and I suspect had been in the hot bin for a while. I'll be honest. If I come back, I wont be ordering the same meal because I know I could have prepared the same thing better and in less time at home.

A special deal is offered prior to 8am - coffee (large size) and a breakfast burger or wrap for $15.50 which is great value. Try the big breakfast where there is a choice of bacon, salmon or Haloumi. Great to have an alternative offered to the ubiquitous bacon in these times of dietary consciousness. It's a nice feed and those potato cakes are quite the tasty addition! Cosy airconditioned indoor area plus the option of outside seating. Staff are friendly with a proprietor who obviously loves what he does! Ample parking right at the door. Give this establishment a go you won't regret it!

They offer breakfast to 1130 and the cafe was packed when we arrived just before 1100. We grabbed a table outside and it was a cool Brisbane Winter day so we took advantage of the blankets Luckily a table opened up and we could ditch the blankets and enjoy our breakfast inside. It was quite noisy inside and the screaming kid didn't help, but once the large family groups left it was a lovely place to relax with a great coffee and fantastic breakfast.
