It's also next door to a butcher which is super convenient. There are all the fruits, pasta's, cheeses and sauces you could hope for. Plus it's a pretty convenient location, on the way to the city if you're going out and need to take anyhting. I didn't notice that they cut their own meats or cheeses, but once again next to a butcher so you may have that sorted there. The staff are friendly, the shop was easy enough to get around, and I was able to buy some fresh flowers out the front. All in all a nice place to visit and next time I feel like a nice tapas plate I'll be going there.

There are lots of great gift ideas including a specials table located at the back. And a great place to visit before a long weekend.

I popped in recently in search of some quirky ingredients for a recipe I've wanted to try and walked out with way more than what I needed. They stock beautiful oils, pastas, meats, cheeses, pate, caviar and foreign food items that you could never find in a regular grocery store. I also have friends who have taken classes in their cooking school and have raved about it! They hold specialty classes with industry professionals in things like chocolate making, cheese making and baking as well as cuisine specific classes in making the most out of your BBQ and cooking Thai cuisine at home. I'm surprised that more people don't know about Black Pearl, especially considering Brisbane has an up and coming food culture. If you love to cook, eat or learn than I suggest you pop in to Black Pearl Epicure for a drool worthy browse sometime soon.

Removed a reasonable distance from nearby main artery Wynnum Rd, with further protection offered by…read morea small intervening park, is this unassuming little corner eatery. I recently stopped in for a Sunday breakfast and my eating partner politely inquired whether we should sit at a table or order at the counter. Her reply "Sit down and then order at the counter" left us feeling a bit non-plussed. That moment of miscommunication aside, we soon secured a menu and perused their interesting selection of breakfast creations. I was tossing up between the 'Italian sausages w/ baby spinach, poached eggs & polenta roll' and the 'Balsamic mushroom bruschetta w/ grilled halloumi + lemon' when I noticed their list of weekend specials. In the end the 'scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, baby spinach and red pepper relish on Turkish toast' won the day. My 'plus one' had the 'Potato cakes + smoked salmon w/ rocket + mountain pepper dressing'. We both treated ourselves to one of their Lavazza lattes as well. The coffee came out very quickly and was innoffensive. The food was pretty rapidly dished out after that. 'Plus one's' meal looked a little on the small side but the potato cakes were deceptively filling, she said. The 'mountain pepper dressing' was apparently like Hollandaise with a little extra kick of some something. My scrambled eggs were moderately portioned with pleasantly browned hunks of smoked salmon and baby spinach interspersed throughout. The red pepper relish was a nice accompaniment, but perhaps could have used a bit more spice. That, or the offer of fresh cracked pepper, would have made a welcome addition. The service was adequate; pretty invisible really (sometimes a good thing). But at your suburban deli kind of joint a bit of personality would be nice.

My better half gets so impatient with me, because I'm known to turn into a slack-jawed, drooling, indecisive-zombie-cheese-charcuterie-fiend. He inevitably makes our choices ;) Yes. Things like milk, bread and like staples are more expensive if I've got to make an emergency dash. But they open at 6am and close at 7pm. Every single day. It's worth the convenience...and goodness knows I love me some predictability! The staff are the icing on this tasty, tasty cake. Even when I wasn't a familiar face, everyone is always willing to assist or even let me know what's particularly delicious at the moment. Just keep on being you, Clayfield Markets!

The IGA in Portside Wharf bares striking resemblance to a gourmet deli. Sure, it may have its…read morenormal grocery store layout, but have a look closer at the products on the shelves. Plenty of it is gourmet deli selections. They have a larger selection of cheeses, which you will not find at your regular suburban IGA and a diverse range of mineral water. This IGA is a prime example of how different shops cater to different markets. Clearly, this IGA caters to a more affluent and posher market. Those who need that big selection of cheeses to go with their vintage imported wines and the huge choice of mineral water, because God forbid, there are certain waters that just won't do! Ah... The thoughts of the wealthy. I'm a simple person, who doesn't really know much of the cheeses, except cheddar, swiss, brie and blue? And when it comes to water, when I was in this IGA recently, I decided to get one branded, 'Another Bloody Water'. Again, you don't find this brand in most other IGA's, but I suppose, they are posh enough to get away with risque brands. This sort of thing appeals to this particular class of peoples. But hey, it's not a bad thing!

I've been in my fair share of IGA's to know that this one, takes the cake... and eats it too. It's everything the stereotypical IGA should not be. Clean, everything looks fresh, the aisle's are organised, the prices expensive, the service friendly. Did I mention the aisle's sparkle? My shoes even squeaked. It doesn't stop there. They only stop posh deli meat... a whole range of prociutto, beef, deli delights, dried fruit and fancy pre-made salads. The salami's are a range of their own. Obviously rich people shop here. It's too good to be true. The shelves stock fancy overseas items in the coffee section (so fancy I don't remember the names) and horlicks! Ahhh my beloved horlicks. I will pay the expensive $7 for you because you're worth it. The feeling is good, the staff courteous and the atmosphere... portside wharf. Pack your picnic hamper here, it's all good.

"Ooh, those cuts of lamb look delicious" "Ooh, what gorgeous packaging" The Standard Market Company is my equivalent to a candy story for a child. It's resplendently full of fresh produce, meats, gourmet pantry items, cheeses and more. It's certainly a place to visit if you wish to feel like you're living the life of the rich and famous, or if you just want high quality produce for your daily meals. I ducked in for a few items only and resisted the temptation for much more. For $20 I managed to get a few avocados, a loaf of beetroot sourdough, radishes and a few other piece. Yes, it is marginally more expensive that say, Woolworths or Coles, but I honestly don't feel like it is asking that much more on your purse strings. The avocados I bought were actually cheaper than the supermarket across the way and to add to that they were higher quality and larger. You might be looking for cheeses and dips for a weekend get together with friends, or specialty items for a romantic dinner for two or you may just want to eat single girl style with smoked salmon, crackers, and olives (or is that just me?) - point is, whatever the occasion, you'll find something to please here.

Although it has heaps of seating both indoor and outdoor, almost all of it was taken, and there was a healthy line on a Saturday morning for those who didn't have bookings. If you don't want to wait in line, be sure to make a booking in advance. My girlfriend and her daughter ordered the Funghetto, which is one of their veggie options. Served with large field mushrooms and fetta, served on toasted sourdough, they both found it quite tasty. The sourdough is toasted and the crust a little tough, so be sure to ask your waiter for a sharp knife! The daughter's fiance ordered the Egg's Benedict with Bacon, one of his favorites. I got the Fumati, which is eggs scrambled with smoked salmon, and was so yummy. A couple of us ordered their cold-pressed juices, which was quite tasty and refreshing. Great place to stop for a bite if you're staying in New Farm or vicinity. It's right on the 196 and 199 bus lines if you're not walkable, so easy to get to from elsewhere in town.
