Brisbane is leading the nation for outstanding new restaurants, with Stokehouse selected as one of five finalists from across the globe in the Wallpaper 2013 Design Awards. The London-based magazine singles out the best of the best each year for one of the design world’s most prestigious awards. In 2013, Arkhefield’s Stokehouse is landing Brisbane on the world map as the only restaurant in Australia to be represented in the top five, alongside world-renowned dining destinations Attimo in Sao Paulo, The NoMad in New York, Geist in Copenhagen and Dabbous in London.
A lighter and fresher, with some great new dishes that are perfect for the warmer weather are the sort of dishes you'll find on 1889 Enoteca's new lunch menu. Old favourites such as Zucchini Flowers filled with mozarella & anchovy, Bucatini al’amatriciana, Gnocchi with pork & fennel sausage & Saltimbocca alla Romana are all still there along with some new paninis and salads priced from $16 to $22.
To celebrate the launch of the new menu, Cabiria is giving their customers the chance to nominate their favourite sandwich recipe for a chance to win a year’s worth of free coffee! Tell them you heard about it on Eat,drink+beKerry.
Poolside at Bacchus could be the place to be this Australia Day long weekend. On offer on 26 January is a luxury brunch, lunch or afternoon drinks poolside with an extraordinary line up of live entertainment featuring Sons of Midnight, supported by Cutloose, Gavin Boyd, Shariff D (live on Sax) and Japanese born, Californian raised DJ Kaku. The menu includes an oyster and champagne station, spicy prawn skewers, gourmet sausage rolls, tempura fish, lamb lollipops plus traditional scones and pavlova.
Doors open at 11.30am. General admission is $70 per person or $25 from 2.00pm.
Is Bacchus Brisbane’s version of Sydney’s Ivy Club? I've been to both and can see shades of similarity but you make up your own mind.
