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.

I can't believe that I've only dined here twice but the food is absolutely to die for. The nibbles are delicious to kick off the meal, we had some tasty breaded olives that where perfection followed up with a Middle eastern inspired flat bread, the best I've had outside of Egypt & Jordan with a beetroot dip encrusted with pistachios and goats cheese - delish! 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. An amazing experience amplified by the fact that it was a Monday night in Brisbane (it's OPEN!) and you get to watch the light show of the gasworks ring.

A work colleague booked for 15 and we had tables reserved in the beer garden under shade (the only down was the afternoon sun did sneak in and summer heat found us after a hour - shade was cool direct sun not). Service is a choice of the old fashion walk up and order at counter, get given a number on a stand or if you have your phone you can scan the QR code on the table pull up menu, order and pay. I did the last and had my burger in good time - bit of wait on the "Parma" for some who did counter orders but we all had food and drinks in reasonable time. Great range of beverages - what you would expect for a city pub. Finished the time with a coffee - not the worst not the best. It's near the river - on a busy street - perfect place to meet friends.

Interesting new restaurant in the heart of the Brissie food (or should I say, yuppie / dinkie)…read morescene. Reservations required. We went in on a Wednesday and it was pretty much full; pretty surprising considering the place had only been open for 6 weeks. Tables at the front were a little windy with the window wide open; in the back it's way better. We enjoyed a broad sampling of the menu. Courses are intended to be shared. We tried 9 courses between the 3 of us. For starters we had oysters and delicious bread; then came the first set of mains, including scallops with enoki mushrooms (divine), quail (meat excellent, stuffing meh), and the portobello shrooms (not so interesting). Our second set of mains consisted of delicious octopus, smoked lamb neck with pine nuts and mint (delish), and the whole leek which also was very good. We fished off with a sorbet that had great mixes of sweet, salty & sour. All good is prepared on a wood fire. It's served beautifully by friendly and informed servers. The place is not overly formal (servers wear jeans) but certainly not casual. Overall it was great. Only negative was that the sauces with the meat felt a little one dimensional (dark, a little sweet). Bill came to ~$75 per person (excluding wine), reasonable for 9 shared courses.

I ordered what I thought would be basic and boring chicken sausages with scrambled eggs, but it turned out to be put together very well. I didn't know a chicken sausage could be so good! My favourite part though was the bread, charred on the side and perfectly oven-baked. Coffee was uninspiring, but I can't say it was bad at all. It was served in a nice little cup which matched the theme of the place very well. My biggest reason for a 4 and not a 5 was the atmosphere which I found was too formal-dining-esque to really work for a weekend morning brunch. I'm not sure whether it was the lighting, the awkward pop music playing in the background, or the lack of natural light...but I really think it needs something to switch the ambience. Probably consult an interior designer instead of me, but I think some light-hearted jazz music with some plants/flowers wouldn't go astray. The pricing was not as outrageous as the rest of the lunch and dinner menus seemed, but it represented what I thought was to be expected for a good meal experience.
