    Hidden off the street in the Central Brunswick complex, Thai on Brunswick can easily go unnoticed…read moreby passers-by. Those in the know aren't too keen to let out the secret either, as this is one of the best Thai restaurants on offer in Fortitude Valley. On holiday in Thailand earlier this year, I was impressed by how authentic the meals at Thai on Brunswick actually are. The Gang Panang is the winner on the menu for me, with the Gang Massaman a close second. Most meals can be adapted for vegetarians. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Inside can get a little loud on a busy night, so outside is my seating of choice, especially when dining with a group. Check out the specials board inside for something a little different. The icing on the cake is the fact that nothing on the menu exceeds $20 and you can BYO bottled wine. Nothing beats it for delicious, cheap, and cheerful Thai, and if you're having a bad hair day, you can even get orders over $35 delivered to you at home.

    Straight off the bat - I'm a massive massaman curry fan so I will never say no to dining at a Thai…read morerestaurant. And I'm not one of those people who will only order one item off the menu because they know it's good - I'll force others to order other things so I can try those too. So that's how dinner went at Thai on Brunswick. And I was pretty impressed. We started off with chicken satays, golden bags and spring rolls which reached our table at a pretty speedy pace (it was a Friday night, there were plenty of take away orders, but only several other tables surrounding us). There wasn't much waiting time between the clearing of plates before the mains arrived either. The massaman curry itself was perfectly sweet, and the beef was so meltingly tender it literally splintered when pierced by cutlery. The accompanying coconut rice was subtly sweet, and coloured with saffron. Unfortunately, the downside of dining with a group means that you have to share, so I generously sacrificed my sumptuous curry for a smattering of pad Thai, cashew chicken and beef curry. Each was pretty tasty, so I was more than happy to share. This place is BYO, though be aware it is wine only (one of our party brought along a six-pack and the waiter informed him of this, but stored it in the fridge for him). Overall, it was a tasty meal and pretty light on the wallet - most menu items are in the $14 range.

    I've been sitting on writing this review for a few days. Trying to find the right words to…read moreadequately describe what a intimate and quality experience we had dining at Gerard's Bar,the little sister to Gerard's Bistro, last Thursday evening. For the uninitiated, this is a charcuterie and cocktail bar. There are no large plates piled high with food. You won't go hungry and if you do it's most likely down to not ordering enough or correctly. Harsh but fair. If you're still reading and still interested, what you will find is a menu carefully crafted with a variety of salumi, a handful of cheeses (no decision overload), a selection of small plates (don't question it and just order the Sobrassada with grilled Bee One Third Honeycomb) and a drink menu to whet any appetite. The seating is bar style so prepare to perch yourself upon a Tolix stool and as you do, take a moment to notice the Moroccan tiles beneath your feet. And then admire the concrete bar tops. The wow-factor is in the interior and restaurant fit-out as much as it is the menu. Nothing has been overlooked including the jars of made-in-house pickles. For my dining partner and I we left with a bill rounding out to approximately $55 each. If you've dined at Gerard's Bistro, you know head chef Ben Williamson is about quality food for affordable prices and doesn't believe in charging over and above what is necessary. This ethos has carried across the James Street laneway. That $55 each gave us a drink each and more salumi than we care to admit (it comes in 50g servings but even this is deceivingly large), 2 small plates, a cheese and a dessert. Our dessert, inched so close to overtaking the love I have for the Sobrassada. The chef said to us he'd recommend the frozen yoghurt mousse over any of the other desserts (I'm still planning to try the Sarsparilla granita on my next visit) for its palette cleansing properties. We agreed and before us was a liquid nitrogen science experiment. Given it was a reasonably quiet evening, he took showmanship to the next level and made the dessert right at our section of the back bar table. The texture of the frozen yoghurt mousse is one I still haven't found the words to describe. Suffice to say: just order it and prepare to enjoy. In fact, go to Gerard's Bar with no expectations. Switch off, talk to the bar tenders and the chefs, watch them cutting the Mahi Mahi in front of you, blow torch grill the patties for the cheeseburgers, talk to your dining partner or group of friends, savour each mouthful and walk out satisfied and recharged.

    If I lived in Brisbane, this would be my local. Seriously, I would be here ALL. THE. TIME. I would…read moreask if I could salary sacrifice Gerard's Bar as a weekly expense. Why do I love thee? Let me count the ways... I have to start with the charcuterie. Oh my god. I mean, anyone can do 'wine and charcuterie' on a menu, but this is another level. The dishes served here are incredible - every morsel tastier than the next. Things like the spicy spreadable salami, the truffle salami, great cheese selection - the duck liver parfait with PX (YES!) ...just out of this world. We had the mackerel tartare too, which I can't even begin to describe, but it tastes just as good as the theatrics of having pork blowtorched over it in front of you. The wine by the glass list is excellent, good craft beers, and they also have a full cocktail bar. To top it off, the head chef is one of the nicest and most passionate guys around. Food nerds will walk away very satisfied having dined here. I found it to be great value given the exceptional food on offer too. Ok, so I forgot to count...but I think you get the gist of why this place is amazing. I'm ready to go back now.
