Breaking my "never give five stars if you've not gone more than once" rule -- because even though…read moreI've only been to Brisbane once, I went to Pochana twice because it was that good! I wasn't super hungry the first night I went, so I just had chicken satay. The chicken was tender and the sauce probably the best I've ever had. The next time I went I had pad see ew with chicken -- with this dish, the chicken can sometimes get dry; again, the chicken at Pochana was tender and the sauce delicious. Elizabeth Street, where Pochana is located, is basically restaurant after restaurant -- so there are many choices and options. But if I return to Brisbane, I would go to Pochana again over a new restaurant if given the choice.

Found this place, walked in and noticed there were lots of locals meaning that it will be good. We ordered amazing gyozas which had great sauce. Im not sure what the beef dish we had was called but it was gluten free and also amazing. It had a salad that came with it and their sauce also good. Whenever you are in a place you have never been you taking a chance whatever you choose to eat. This place was a great find. Highly recommend!

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.

Considering that a Cheese burger will set you back $10.9 you're basically paying $2.1 for a beer! The burger is amazing. I always made the mistake of expecting complicated flavours in a restaurant Cheese Burger but the humble CB works on limited ingredients that stand well on their own. Cape Grim beef, American Cheese, onion, pickles, STREETsauce and ketchup on a brioche bun; this burger delivers. Side note, it doesn't come with any sides. The Cheese and Bacon Loaded Fries was to died for. Very generous with the bacon and the molten cheese sauce had us licking our fingers. Extremely pleasant service and the front of the restaurant is open to the street so you can enjoy the fresh air. Indoor and outdoor seating. I particularly enjoyed that wooden panel and red light look. Great burgers, comfortable restaurant and cold beer... who could ask for more?

For a place as hip as the W, it's oddly traditional in cooking style. Note that I do not say the…read moremenu-- but rather the execution. The decor is very appropriate for both the area and for the W brand, servers are young and a little overbearing (probably due to inexperience?), and the kitchen, while mostly good, is also occasionally prone to bouts of slowness. Prawns and oysters off the chilled menu are both quite traditional; solid items but one might have expected them to take a few more risks here. On the other hand, W is a huge brand so maybe they're risk-adverse? And the swordfish main course was recommend medium rare but again otherwise not particularly innovative. And to be fair, sticking with the seafood, per the recommendation of all the servers, may have been a mistake on my part. The porchetta and I think the lamb (?) both sounded amazing, but I ended up skipping those. At least the seafood, for a nice place, was very reasonably priced. 3* sounds right. Don't be off-put by the rating, there's potential...

Situated on level 3 of the W hotel on north quay the views to the Brisbane river and skyline were…read morestunning. The open aspect of the design made full use of the space and capitalises on the beautiful weather Queenslanders enjoy. Signage is scarce when finding the place and parking is also tough. I'd recommend turning in to the hotel driveway and parking in their car park. Of course this is ticketed so you will need to pay. Good news is you don't have to be a guest to use the car park so you can drive straight in and take a ticket. The restaurant is spacious and open plan. It is welcoming and certainly the decor is modern and interesting by design. One small complaint, being of mature age I appreciate a comfortable and padded chair when out for dinner and the chair I had was neither. After a couple of hours my backside was needing a break! Anyway, the menu is limited but diverse. All the dishes were interesting and appealing. I had the only steak on the menu which was a 500 gram t-bone. I was in a party of eight so two others ordered the t-bone... in total two medium and one rare. Others in the party ordered fish, bugs and chicken. We also ordered some starters which was a sweet potato hummus and a fava bean and anchovy dip. Bread was an organic sourdough with cultured butter. All were delicious. Mains arrived all at once which is a real necessity in my books however the waiter could not identify which of the three steaks was the rare one. He simply placed one down in front of the person who ordered it and said "that should be it". One diner received an incorrect meal which was promptly returned to the kitchen and replaced with the correct one. No real drama, these things can happen. All diners enjoyed their meals with no complaints whatsoever. The portions were generous and all were visually appealing. My steak was delicious., cooked perfectly, juicy and tender. The meals don't come with sides so we ordered a mix of different dishes including asparagus, roasted garlic and rosemary potatoes and carrots. All were delicious. In terms of drinks the beer and wine lists were extensive and well represented. Service was efficient and slightly ambiguous. Whilst everyone was pleasant I didn't see anyone smile or engaging in terms of recommendations when requested. In all, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a slightly upmarket but relaxing atmosphere with great views, excellent food and a very good list of wines and beers.
