Consequently (especially when the show is in technical rehearsals and the performers have a lot of time on their hands) I got to know all the different bars and restaurants in and around QPAC. The Cafe came to my rescue a few times when coffee was a necessity and when a bacon and egg wrap can keep you going through a whole day of intense rehearsals. But it's not just for performers, there's a fantastic undercover grassed area where people can lounge before a day in South Bank, or get some fuel before going to a show. I will warn you that The Cafe can often take its sweet time, so if you're in a rush be aware that you could lose your patience. Once I waited half an hour for 2 pieces of fruit toast and 2 coffees and to be honest, they weren't even overrun with people. In saying this, the food I have had is always good and there's some fantastic salads and pastries in the glass cabinet at the front of the counter. Overall I quite like The Cafe, but I must admit that's more out of convenience than out of admiration, but if you're in the performing arts precinct and in need of something to eat, The Cafe can help you out.

For a long time, being hungry at QPAC could be quite the quandary. There was a time when the only…read moreeating options here were the Lyrebird restaurant which is a fairly expensive, sit-down affair, or the bars inside where you can get a $4 packet of chips or nuts. If you wanted something in between a sit-down dinner and a packet of chips, you were in trouble and I can recall sitting through many a musical with my stomach rumbling. It's really handy to finally have a mid-level venue at QPAC where you can get a sandwich, cake, or salad with a coffee or drink before seeing a show. I saw Mary Poppins last week (so good. I wanna go again!!!), and true to form had forgotten that I wouldn't be home till after eleven and hadn't yet eaten. 'DOOOOM' thought I, until I noticed the (relatively) new QPAC cafe where I enjoyed a mega-sized Anzac biscuit and a passable coffee before chim chimminy chim chim cheroo-ing the night away in the Lyric Theatre. It's nothing amazing, but it's a good option and has been sorely needed for some time.

Despite requests to be moved to other obviously vacant tables perhaps with later bookings(?) the staff were resistant & almost rude. Atmosphere was awful. Don't assume you'll be seated in the lovely looking dining area displayed on the website. Staff didn't know the daily specials, didn't even offer to relay them to us unless we asked. Food was nice, but not exceptional. Also, if you don't have a taste for pig based products, you'll find this menu a challenge. This was a pricey dinner, spoilt by average to poor staff, extremely noisy & basic furnishings.

Looking at past reviews here I guess it was time for an update!…read more They've changed the usual way of ordering at Vapiano: rather than the chefs cooking the pasta in front of you, everyone is to order at the cashier and receive a table number/sensor to bring to the table they decide to sit at. I do not mind this way at all, if anything it makes it more safer and efficient for staff to deliver the food rather than everyone trying to bring trays of food and drinks up and down the stairs. Met up with my gfs for dinner tonight - Ordered a roasted veggie pizza and my gf got a margarita pizza and creamy mushroom pasta. Not lying but I added pepper, olive oil, fresh basil leaves and salt to my pizza and it still had the audacity to taste bland ? I'm not a salt person but I did end up reaching for the salt 3 times over and it still wasn't a flavorful pizza....my friend agreed and did the same with her pasta. The complimentary bread also tasted like it was undercooked unfortunately- usually it's on point. Nothing wrong with the service, timing, ambience at all ! Just really put down from the food tonight sadly!

Every bite had me wondering if the ingredients were grown in the garden of Eden itself. Tasting the olives was like kissing the lips of Jesus himself. I really didn't mind them cooking the pasta in front of me. (Apart from the little voice in my head that kept questioning why their pasta made me salivate in ways my home cooked food can't). The place upstairs is really aesthetically pleasing by its fresh decor and hydroponic basil plantation. Also, unsure if the basil pots are there as decor or to eat??? But my partner are 7 pots while we were drunk. ;) shhhh.

From my personal experience Tutto is a solid little cafe serving above average coffee and food but lacking any real x-factor to set it apart. The layout is bit of a mixed bag with a nice outdoor seating area that is raised and open to the breeze but once inside the seating plan and furniture make it feel a little like a cafeteria. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and the menu offers quite a few options with the highlights being their burgers.

The restaurant is located on the second floor of the QT Hotel. There is street parking as well as valet parking available. Upon entry to the restaurant I was escorted to my table while passing by the different counters of food options. The host explained how everything worked and pointed out the different areas of the buffet. It is all neatly presented and vary high quality ingredients. After showing me the table I went to get started. The very left side of the buffet has certain meat and seafood options. They have beef stew, paella, and a few more options. You can also ask the chef in this section to make you a steak any temperature you like and they will deliver it to your table. Next to the meats you have the pizza counter. At the time they had a cheese option and a potato option. I tried the cheese pizza and it was incredible! The next section has salads and sides. You can choose from mac n cheese to potato salad and lots of other choices. The last section has asian dishes such as dim sum, chicken masala and lots more. The dessert counter is behind the dinner food and has tons of selections. You can get all sorts of mini cakes, pastries, ice cream, chocolates and more. Definitely save some room for dessert! Everything is so fresh and cooked perfectly with the right sauces! The beautiful presentation, delicious food and fantastic service are why I gave this place 5 stars.

The name 5 Boroughs is inspired by New York's five boroughs, which are Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. The name is an interesting choice, since most Australians wouldn't know what a borough is. Moving on to the food, I have eaten here twice so far, and enjoyed both the 5B Chicken burger and the 5B Hot burger, which contains grass-fed Mandalong beef. The food is in a similar price range to Grill'd, though I would say that the burgers are a bit smaller. Both indoor and undercover outdoor seating is available, and as the premises are licensed, this would be a good place to go with mates on a weeknight or on the weekend. Plenty of parking is available at the Stones Corner Village parking lot.

Walking in I immediately noticed it reminded me of Islands or Dukes from the States. It has surfboards all around, focuses on the beach, and is a popular burger joint. I checked in with the hostess and was directed to my friend's table. Menus are already located on each table as well as napkins and condiments. I chose to order the Mona Lisa which had truffle sauce and caramelized onions. Those were the ingredients that led me to my decision. I also ordered a virgin strawberry daiquiri as I dint drink alcohol but it sounded delicious. The food came out relatively fast and my burger was delicious! It was far better than I expected. The drink was fantastic as well, however lost one star on the review due to them charging me the same price as if I had gotten it with alcohol. Overall a fun place to go with a group of friends or a very casual date night. It tends to get pretty loud so I wouldnt go here on a date if you want to talk and get to know someone.

It is this reason that places like In Bar Go in the Brisbane Domestic Terminal work so well. Who doesn't want to sit in a bar and relax with a drink to calm to flying jitters. In Bar Go is perhaps one of the more recognisable bars in the airport. There are other places to drink but most of them are attached to cafes or the like and tucked away. In Bar Go is right where you can see it, close to all the other food at the Virgin terminal. As a far as bars go In Bar Go isn't the best. It has rather stark and bleak decour that attempts to be modern but just makes it feel clinical. The service was not the cheeriest I have experienced but they did have a nice selection of beers to choose from. I guess if you are looking for a place to partake in some alcoholic beverages before a flight, In Bar Go is OK but it does not offer much more than that.
