Alright, I need the absolute truth on the Brisbane pie scene. Everyone outside the city always talks about Yatala Pies, but honestly, it feels pretty commercialized these days. Where is the actual best independent bakery for a proper chunky steak, tomato & onion pie. Or classic mince and cheese. I’m talking elite flaky pastry, rich gravy, and no skimping on the fillings. Give me your ultimate fav spot. Ups to Northside! But willing to travel

Potential long shot idk, but whenever I’m down in melb I go to Shanghai Street for their Dan Dan soup. It’s spicy, savoury, topped w heaps of pork, noodles, and bok choy and I’m craving it so badly that I’m debating a weekend flight. I don’t have endless money however, so can someone point me in the right direction to ones I can find here? The soup part is imperative, please no dry.

Can anyone recommend a family friendly restaurant that has the all you can eat option
TIA 😊

Hi,

My wife and I are travelling down to Brisbane on Saturday to do some birthday shopping and want to book somewhere nice for lunch. Not looking for a degustation or anywhere pretentious, just high quality, great vibe, ideally walking distance from Edward St as heading to some shops around there.

Open on cuisine and not fussed on budget as we rarely get to head out on our own.

Have had Opa and longwang recommeded and leaning to Opa at this stage. Would love to hear other suggestions...

Thanks!

Anyone know where to find pig's trotters in Brisbane?

I tried Super Butcher this afternoon but they don't have them.

North side preferred but all suggestions welcome.

Looking for a nice meal.

But absolutely jack of the same rehashed Thai, Indian, Burgers, Pasta, the copy paste pub menus and overpriced Korean. And

Wantibg something unique not boring and won't leave the bank and belly empty.

And I'm not going back to Istanbul 1923 - was treated like shit last time on a date (2 dudes).

Happy to pay around 35 for a main I guess.

Hello Brisbane,

I am an Indian looking to have good south Indian or North Indian breakfast. Most Indian places are open during the evenings so never really got a good Indian breakfast place.

If any of you have been to a place that has good Indian breakfast please let me know.

Appreciate your help.

Hi everyone,

My gf and I are coming to visit Australia for a 16 day trip in November. I know most of the best restaurants frequently book up right when the reservations drop and believe we are getting into the 90 day sweet spot.

What are your must book reservations for dinner that you would recommend to a couple in their early 30s? We love a good bang for your buck but also love restaurants that incorporate live music, nice sunset ambiance/ rooftop terrace, critically aclaimed fine dining but also want to know the perhaps more casual local must hit spots. Truly the world is your oyster for recommendations but we are looking to make our dining experiences while traveling as memorable as we can!

In addition to Brisbane, we are also going to Sydney, Port Douglas, and Melbourne. Please do share if you have any recommendations in any of the other places as well.

Thanks a million!

Hi all. I am trying to organise a 40th birthday lunch that needs to be young kids friendly for a small group (20 people) and I struggling to find a place with decent food. Kids menu is not necessary. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I was wondering if there are any instagrammable restaurant toilets in brisbane for a good selfie

I recently had a French onion soup from a French restaurant at the bottom of the star.

It was authentic and absolutely delicious. Does anyone know of other places that do these, with the bread inside, cheese on top? Preferably north side

Hi everyone, I am heading off to Europe really soon and I want to have a farewell dinner with some close friends before I leave.

I want a place in the Sunnybank/ Inala region that offers good Vietnamese or Chinese food (bonus points if they offer pho), but at the same time I want a relatively nice seating area so I can have a conversation with my friends. Please lmk if you have any recommendations!!

Been craving Italian sandwitches for a while but most places cannot do what I am searching for.

Anyone know a place that can do

Schiacciata/foccacia/ciabatta
Mortadella
Prosciutto di Parma
Burrata (or stracciatella)
Rocket
Tomato
A little Pesto
A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

Thanks 😊

As we've seen here and on the r/brisbane subreddit, lots of people have been overcharged and there's been poor or little communication from RDA regarding the issues, let alone refunds.

Preferably a restaurant and not just take away. I find Burlington hit and miss. Anywhere in Brisbane, as I'm willing to drive anywhere in Brisbane or Gc

Hey all, I've moved from Sydney to up here this year. I'm struggling to find really good restaurants in Southern Brisbane or northern Gold coast.

Where am I going to find these hidden gems? Any food blogger I should follow?

We're landing in Brisbane, hitting up a grocer, then sending it to Moreton Island! What is THE BEST COFFEE from Woolworths? What goodies and snacks should we try as foreigners? THANKS!

ETA: would love to go to a coffee shop for speciality beans, but we won't have time unless it's at Skygate or next to the wharf. My local grocery stores carry beans from amazing local roasters, so I assumed Woolworths would be the same
