Alchemy was the perfect location for a surprise birthday dinner and the meal was exceptional…read more While enjoying a champagne and the stunning views of the river and bridge we were presented with a complimentary cauliflower soup amuse bouche. We chose the special, medium rare wagyu tri tip with duck fat potatoes and mushrooms, which was absolutely delicious paired with a Shiraz. Dessert was the affogato, liquid nitrogen bomb experience, and another surprise, some mini macarons with a lovely Birthday message from the chef. This was our first visit to Alchemy, but it definitely won't be our last.

So I've been to Hope and Anchor and I am happy to say that it's bloody good…read more Walking into the neighbourhood bar (on Saturday and this evening) I was greeted by a couple of charming bartenders and the feeling of being in an old pub. The latter which I had yet to experience in Brisbane. Sporting four areas, the venue has something for pretty much anyone. On Saturday, it was bustling. Almost every table will filled (which is good going seeing as they only opened on the 19th) and amongst the couples and a friends populating the venue, there was one big family table having dinner. It diversity of the venue was comforting and reminded me of the English pubs I spent time in growing up. We had one quick drink on Saturday and tonight I returned to grab a quick dinner. It was quieter tonight, which suited what I was looking for. The menu, in my opinion, is spot on in size. Bat snacks, sharing sized options, sandwiches, sides and bigger plates. It's creative, but not over the top or complicated. I opted for the chip butty, because chips in bread. Come at me. The bread came filled with shoe strings fries, black garlic mayo and homemade tomato sauce. It was crisp and saucy and... bloody perfect really. Sitting at the bar (it's all bar service), I chatted to the bar staff who were just the right level of attentive. I asked for a glass of red to go with my sandwich, a slightly odd pairing, I know. My glass of Pinot was light, velvety and was the perfect match. For a venue that's been open for an entire seven days, they're doing something right. Wait, scratch that. Everything right.

Racecourse Road is a lovely little road full of restaurants, boutique shops, bakeries, and cafes…read more There is also a large choice of banks, chemists, and hair and beauty places. Quite the hub on a weekend, the road is fairly quiet during the week. It is the perfect place to spend a lazy day shopping and and eating. While the boutique stores are not the cheapest around, you will find some items that are not readily available everywhere, such as imported shoes or designer clothes. There are plenty of places to dine out, from funky little cafes like Like My Spoon to upscale bakeries such as Le Bon Choix. Parking is a little bit of a hassle on weekends, since it is mainly street parking available which fills up pretty quickly. Racecourse Road feels like a little community. At Christmas time there are red ribbons on all the trees. You can find people selling fresh strawberries and cherries out of a van on the side of the road, or just wonder along and browse the many shops. They also often have markets on or other community events. Check out the website if you want to know whats on.

The Yiros Shop does a good job executing on the contemporary Greek fast casual concept that's…read morebecoming increasingly popular (Souvla in San Francisco most prominently comes to mind), but after my visit I think they need to spend just a bit more time on the core of a gyro as opposed to the peripherals. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? While my server at The Yiros Shop seemed to be no older than sixteen, he was very polite and efficient, and explained my options to me in a way that directed me towards some good options. I was disappointed that they didn't accept American Express, but I'm finding that's pretty common in Australia. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $15.50 AUD got me a pretty good sized mixed meat yiro, which was a pretty good deal even though, as you'll see, they skimped on the meat a bit. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? I'll start off by saying that I liked the selection of meats and peripherals at The Yiros Shop, and it was clear that these were some fresh ingredients. Having said that, I felt a bit robbed of those fresh looking meats, and instead my mixed meat yiro was packed with french fries, tahini sauce, and vegetables with a notable lack of meats. That's not uncommon I suppose, but something to keep an eye on. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? The Yiros Shop was good, but there are so many great kebab or comparable options in town that I can't recommend The Yiros Shop with any sort of enthusiasm. No Star.

We had the share plate special of the evening for our main shared between three & if it ever comes up again - order it! It was braised pork belly with an apple & apricot chutney, garnished with tasty BBQ King prawns - best! We also had it all topped off with the broccoli (do yourself a favour) and the spring salad all washed down with the delicious French rose by the glass.

Never fear - all I had to do was mention the word 'birthday' to waitress Emily and she was on the case. After dragging me over to the bar and introducing me to bartender Nick, she began gathering her evidence. Could they do a special brownie + sparkler dessert, complete with singing? Well, my BFF is gluten free.... Nevermind, does she like cocktails? Does she like cocktails! The next thing I knew our table was besieged by cosmos, sparklers and singing waitstaff. Then the champagne arrived, and the super sized, gluten free dessert, and the flowers were swept away to the cool room to keep them looking gorgeous throughout the night. Despite being busy, these staff went out of their way to make our night great. And the food was pretty good too!

Ordered the scrambled eggs which is a bit extra cost - overall good, poached eggs for my better half were good - mushies as a side were not to my taste - cannot say a negative.
