The Gun­shop Cafe — West End

The Gun­shop Cafe is pretty much an icon around the ‘burbs of Bris­bane. Well known for it’s quirky, upbeat menus, it is also known for its pop­u­lar­ity and unfor­tu­nately, a healthy queue for a table at break­fast time.

Luck­ily for the Bris­bane Bites crew, it was a mid-week brunch that we were crav­ing and we set out to check up on what all the fuss was about. I was very impressed at the spiced up menu and utterly glad that not every item on the menu revolved around eggs in their numer­ous forms — I’m try­ing to say that they have quite some cre­ativ­ity here. I had already picked out the dish that I wanted to try from the online menu, but was dis­ap­point­ing to find out that the menu had changed sig­nif­i­cantly and that item was no longer avail­able. On the bright side, that means that it is unlikely that you would get bored with the place I suppose.

The Loft West End

Lovers of beer will already be famil­iar with Archive Beer Bou­tique & Bistro in West End, but those look­ing for a smoother groove should head to the newest cock­tail and wine lounge the area has to offer. Lit­tle sis­ter to Archive, LOFT sits directly above the already estab­lished eatery and on open­ing night, we were anx­ious to see whether the place would impress.

Little Greek Taverna — Westend

November 20, 2012   $15 to $25, Brisbane South, By Budget, By Cuisine, By Location, Casual Dining

Brisbane Bites Recommendation:

Lit­tle Greek Taverna

Pop­u­lar might be an under­state­ment when refer­ring to West End’s Lit­tle Greek Tav­erna. Hav­ing attempted swipe an impromptu table sev­eral times with no avail, it is def­i­nitely rec­om­mended to make a book­ing here dur­ing peak lunch and din­ner times!

Although, on a Sat­ur­day after­noon around 2PM, the Bris­bane Bites team was seated with lit­tle has­sle (although the agree­ment was that we would be fin­ished and out the door in an hour for the next booking!).

The Norman Hotel –Woolloongabba

October 21, 2012   $25-$35, Above $35, Brisbane South, Casual Dining, Modern Australian, Notice, Sponsor

Nor­man Hotel Steakhouse

I don’t even like steak that much. I prob­a­bly only eat it about once every 3 months. But, on my recent expe­di­tion to The Nor­man Hotel in Wool­loongabba, per­haps things are about to change? I think that I may even have had the BEST steak of my life…and iron­i­cally it was actu­ally cooked by ME!

Brisbane city Dining Guide - Siam Samrarn Thai Restaurant Westend

Siam Sam­rarn

Usu­ally, the prospect of asso­ci­at­ing with West End’s over­whelm­ing hip­ster and hip­pie pop­u­la­tion is enough to steer me well clear of the admit­tedly decent restau­rants the sub­urb has to offer. After our expe­ri­ences at Siam Sam­rarn, per­haps a sec­ond chance is in order?…After all, we were pretty impressed with this Thai restau­rant in West End  shop­ping complex.
