Posted on March 30, 2012 | 6 CommentsWhy on earth did we wait this long to visit the Brisbane German Club? The SO and I have heard the amazing tales of their schweinshaxe - roasted pock knuckle. Having sampled the real deal in Germany, we were curious if the Brisbane version would match up. -
Bitter Suite @ New Farm

Dining at Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel on their beer garden menu
Posted on February 9, 2012 | 1 CommentIts amazing view overlooking to the ocean is a key draw card. Holidayers in casual beachwear (NOT swimsuit) and glamouraties in stellar heels rub shoulders at this watering hole as the sun goes down. -
Tucking in at Tukka Restaurant
Posted on February 2, 2012 | 1 CommentA year in since we last visited Tukka, and Head Chef and owner Bryant Wells and team still deliver gold stars all around. If you want to try a touch of strange Australian fare done with a modern twist, try Tukka Restaurant in Brisbane's West End. -
