On our last day in town, we finally had a chance to walk down here and check the place out. It…read moreturned out to be one of the more memorable spots we hit up. We were staying just above the wharf and spent about 20 minutes walking over. They had a great array of crusty, sweet and savory pastries, pies, and breakfast items. Perhaps the most impressive thing was the fact that their list of specials took up an entire chalkboard. Everything from sweet rolls too, wallaby and rabbit, pie, to some delicious eggs Benedict and a big English breakfast. They had something for everybody, and everything was really good! The place is housed in a relatively old building with a lot of character! Not so old that you're worried that you would find petrified things in the wall, but old enough that you definitely know the place has had a chance to fall over and won't. The staff was really nice, took great care of us and found us seats very quickly, despite the place being busy. All in all, this is a must check out spot whenever you are in town!

I was just going to takeaway but it was nice and quiet and there was a ridiculous amount of bench seating, with one little corner spot calling my name, so I ordered a large flat white (drinking coffee to warm up is such a novelty for a Queenslander) and took a seat. I noted both breakfast and lunch menus in the window, with breakfast ending at 11:30am... but then I overheard the beautiful words: "we do an all-day breakfast on weekends". Guuuuuuurl, you know how I roll. The service was really sweet and welcoming, and the coffee was indeed very well made! I regret that I wasn't hungry, but I'll definitely be back to take the menu for a spin. P.S. Every second Friday (or thereabouts) there's a seven-course tasting dinner, so you can bet I'll be back to get in on that some time very soon.

I have to say that I am a big fan of this lovely little restaurant. When we went a few years ago…read moreour experience wasn't so good but fortunately we gave it another chance and I can't speak more highly of it. The food, particularly lunch, is absolutely lovely. Terrific quality and consistency. The owners (Mark and Ruth, I think?) are delightful and very welcoming - particularly Mark. My favourites in the lunch menu are the crispy skin duck, scallops, and fish (usually Blue Eye Trevalla) and chips. everything is fresh and served with either seasonal vegetables or really fresh salad. And I mean fresh salad. There is nothing worse than going into a restaurant where the side salad is limp as if it's been sitting around in the fridge waiting for plating. I understand their speciality is breakfast which we haven't tried. But importantly they have great coffee too! Worth a visit.

The restaurant has indoor seating, outdoor seating and a 'lounge' area with couches and coffee tables if you aren't having a full meal. The space is open and relaxed and makes good use of light and the scenery. The biggest issue I have with Pier One is that it is in the Wrest Point Casino complex - I don't gamble and find casinos in general to be tacky and boring. However, if you are like me it is possible to access the restaurant whilst still avoiding pretty much the entire casino by using the lower entrance or wandering around the water-side boardwalk.

I asked, hopefully, as I've historically found that angry baristas often make delicious brews. Sadly, my friend wasn't sure and I didn't think to observe who made it. The Duchess is a Ladies Who Lunch / Young Family Outing venue. A few uni students drop in, too, due to proximity to campus--though I expect that their parents are paying for their meals. The standard menu at the Duchess doesn't blow my socks off, though I was keen to eat the cornbread special that was on the board the day of our visit. It was ok. I've had better.

I went in with two friends today and despite a corner being vacated, your staff tried to place the three of us in a row, instead of in the corner. Have you ever dined with more than two people seated side by side? Conversation is impossible. We managed to negotiate our way into the corner despite your staffer's grave resistance to it (the hesitation being that us sitting in the corner would leave a single seat either side of us and heaven forbid solo diners from existing... we promised to move if the situation arose, and funnily enough, it didn't). Your menu (no longer presented on a wooden cube) is so expensive. The four cheese toastie was beautiful, but $18? And forgive me, but does anyone actually pay $20 for that porridge? And is a half hour wait for food really that great when you've got your prep piled on counters and only half a dozen seated customers? The coffee is still good.
