We had a great experience at Italia lane. We had a group of 11 people and the manager Adamo made us feel very welcome. He arranged a cocktails and chef’s choice meal for entree, pasta and pizza. Everything was delicious. The entrees were varied Italian specialties like zucchini flowers stuffed with cacio e Pepe mix, suppli, and grilled prawns. Gnocchi were soft and fluffy with a great sauce. Pizzas were lovely. We had one gluten free person in the group and they were generously catered for rather than being the after thought. Price was reasonable for quality food and wine. A lovely long lunch experience.

Highly recommend. We had a great experience here. The service is great, way to go to the team there at the front desk and at the table who were attentive and helpful. The food is delicious, great job in the kitchen. There's a good variety of starters and mains. The bar crew make a delicious cocktail and the wine list has good variety. Overall, a fantastic spot for a memorable dining experience.

Bowen Hills

About the restaurant

Montrachet at Bowen Hills, is located on King Street. Large windows enclose a lavishly furnished space, creating
intimacy for a world of luxury inside; white tablecloths, silver cutlery, rich timbers and a well-stocked bar and cellar are all redolent of a charming Parisian brasserie and perceptive waitstaff are attentive in fulfilling culinary desires.
Stepping into Montrachet is like stepping into a Parisian bistro. From the burgundy leather banquet that runs the length of the room, to the marble comptoir (bar), Montrachet oozes elegance and charm. Traditional overtones and design are accompanied by Laguiole cutlery, monogrammed crockery and the finest glassware. French antiques, metal pastis signs and gilt framed mirrors create an ambience perfectly complimentary to the French cuisine of executive chef and owner Clement Chauvin is famous for.

The origins of South Bank’s newest Asian dining experience are steeped rich in history, honouring traditions in Chinese and South East Asian cuisines. Our restaurant is proudly named after the owner’s ancestral great, great grandmother who was, as the title refers to, Tai Tai.

Our location in the heart of South Bank makes Tai Tai one of Brisbane’s most popular restaurants to dine at before a film, show at QPAC or conference at Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. We welcome and encourage walk-ins, however limited number of tables are available to book in advance.

Food was really good. Service was great though the waitress had a little trouble getting too us due to tables being close together. We were quite cool though due to a breeze and being in the open.

South Brisbane

About the restaurant

The Little Greek Taverna is a family run Dine In and Takeaway Restaurant which commenced trade in the multicultural hub of Brisbane, West End, in December of 2009.

The shop is wonderfully positioned at a busy, exciting and vibrant intersection in West End with high volumes of pedestrian and motor traffic and complete 180 degree exposure.

In a short period of time the Little Greek Taverna has grown to be loved by those who regularly visit, and many who visit for the first time leave with a promise to continue visiting, all of which leads the Little Greek Taverna in its drive to become a Brisbane institution dishing up quality authentic Greek Cuisine.

The Little Greek Taverna is all about feeling welcome, experiencing what’s on offer and walking away knowing you’ll be back again like clockwork for more.

Hikari’s menu is inspired from “izakaya”, the traditional Japanese pub. We put a twist on izakaya dishes so be enjoyed not only with Japanese Sake but with great Australian wines as well. All Hikari dishes are designed to be shared or be enjoyed individually.
