La Zucca Café and Pizzeria is easily my most favourite place to go to for a REAL Margherita Pizza…read more Before discovering this little place hidden away in Brisbane's North side, I was sure I would never find a true, traditional Margherita. Ever. Whichever café or restaurant I dined in, I was always presented with a cheesy, greasy looking pizza, which I simply could not finish. I was at my wit's end, trying to find the perfect pizza, and I thought I never would. Well, I was wrong. La Zucca is a small café/restaurant which specialises in wood fired pizzas. And let me tell you - they are amazing! The very first time I came here, I expected to be served the same as usual - a pizza base smothered in tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, and lots and LOTS of cheese. To my surprise, I discovered the opposite. A slice (or 6) of heaven. Okay, so let's start from the bottom. The pizza base - a light, crunchy, thin, delicious base which you can eat and eat, topped with a homemade tomato-based sauce. Little balls of bocconcini spread over the base, melted down to delicious, creamy circles of deliciousness. And to finish it off, topped with fresh basil leaves. That's it. I know it sounds simple, but that's all a Margherita pizza is, and should be. But the flavours are far from it. The mix of the tomato base, with the slight sweetness and creaminess of the bocconcini, topped with the aroma of the basil...it's simply to die for. I could eat this pizza forever. I order it every single time and even before it arrives at the table, my taste buds are tingling with anticipation and my mouth watering. I have found my happy place.

Absolutely DO NOT recommend this place. Possibly the worst place I've been to in years. Do not be…read morefooled by their stars, they probably up rate the place themselves. I rarely ever feel compelled to give reviews, but I feel people should know what they are in for. (TL:DR) it's overpriced burnt dry cardboard in a box and overpriced snap frozen mushy shit in a Chinese container. I ordered 2 chicken and mushroom carbonara pastas, spaghetti bolognese, chicken avocado and Camembert pizza, kids Hawaiian pizza, and a herb and garlic bread. Paid $91 dollars for two Chinese container size pastas, two incredibly thin and dry pizzas and an equally disappointing garlic bread. We were told the wait would be 40 minutes which was fine, but when we came back they told us they "ran out of chicken and mushroom carbonara" how do you run out of pasta at a pizza and pasta place UNLESS it's snap frozen. I went there specifically for pasta and would not have ordered if I knew they had ~run out of snap frozen mush~ The ($17) chicken and mushroom carbonara that we did receive was revolting, watery, mush. Barely any actual pasta in there, it was a jelly consistency with tiny bits of broken pasta. I would put money on this being snap frozen. My housemate said it was the same consistency as lean cuisine carbonara except lean cuisine tastes a lot better. The ($22) pizzas were very thin and dry with hardly and topping. Really not even worth mentioning, nothing really noteworthy to say about a nonexistent pizza. The ($14.5) garlic pizza bread barely had any garlic flavour and was just a thin and very dry crust that tasted like doughy hell. save your money eat anywhere else.

Fish On Line is hidden away on a corner just off Gympie Road. Its always packed every time I take…read morethat final turn home on the way back from the Sunshine Coast. On the way back one day I convinced my wife we should go in and give it a try before we hit home. When we arrived to the car park the seats were all taken and there was a line up to the counter. We peeped the prices and they were a little more expensive than we expected but I thought the solid patronage was a good indicator to how the meal would be. We ordered our fish and chip meal with a burger to trial. It cost us close to thirty dollars for what we bought. The surprising thing was that the burger was a third of the over all price. It took about twenty minutes for our order to come out, which wasn't too bad considering the line up and when we got home and opened our feast we were pretty happy with the amount of goods we received. There was nothing too special about the fish and chips, pretty stock standard. Still everything was fresh. The burger was the standout, even after the ten minute drive back it kept its consistency and wasn't all wet as I expected. Fish On Line is worth a chow visit in my books.

I can't believe I'd never heard of this place till now, best pizza I've ever had!!…read moreI had girls night here a couple of nights ago and had the best time. Wine and dips followed by 4 types of pizza, red duck pizza, the big chicken pizza, morrocan beef and the zucca pizza. I still can't decide which one was my favourite, I loved them all. And to top it off specialty made gelato. YUM. They have a very relaxed vibe and the Italian hostess/waitress was so helpful. Will definitely be coming back again soon. (And I can bring my vegan friends too)

We ordered the Singapore Noodles and the Szechuan chicken with rice…read more The Singapore noodles were nice, a little bland and could have done with a bit more of a kick. The ingredients all seemed fresh enough and none of the meat had been cooked before like some restaurants I've eaten at. The Szechuan chicken was also nice although it could also have been a bit spicier. I don't like my mouth to be on fire after a meal, but with Szechuan you expect a small amount of burn. The rice was rice, cooked well enough but it's pretty hard for a restaurant to mess that up!

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.
