This restaurant is in the Entertainment book so we decided to try it out, they are in the old Fig Trees location in Clayfield.
The food was fantastic, traditional Tuscan style dishes, lots of seafood and a good range of vegetarian options too.
We started with a trio of bruschetta, for main I had a veal cannelloni and my husband had the gnocchi. All three dishes were really flavoursome, can't wait to go back and try something new next time!
Approximate cost: $20-$35
I visited Prodigy recently for a pregnancy massage, they have a new client offer of $55 for a 1hr remedial massage. I found them to be very professional and the massage was just what I needed, my therapist almost put me to sleep. I floated out of there at the end of the hour! My husband tried a 1hr remedial sports massage and also raved about how great they are - definitely worth a try if you are looking for a great massage on the north side.
Approximate cost: $55-$75
We stayed in Peregian beach recently and ended visiting Le Bon Delice for a really good coffee each morning. There are plenty of tables if you want to stay at the cafe or its a really short stroll to the beach as well. They bake fresh croissants and pain au chocolat each morning which are delicious. The cafe also serves light lunch - lots of yummy french goodies like Croque Monsieur and different salads. They also have a tempting range of cakes and slices. The staff are very friendly and helpful, if you want to try somewhere a little bit different next time you are at the Sunshine coast pop in here.
I've been really impressed with the pizzas at Naples in Grange. All their pizzas can be made into a traditional calzone. The spaghetti bolognase calzone is one you must try- delicious!!
Approximate cost: $15-$20
Took my mum here for dinner, the food was good enough but I found the atmosphere a bit stuffy and the menu was over priced. Service was fantastic and they have a great wine list
Approximate cost: $35-$45
I live on the north side of Brisbane but always bring my car to Baileys brake and clutch at Bundamba because I know I can trust them to do a great job. Friendly staff and fairly priced.
Northside Flower market has a really good selection of different fresh flowers and friendly staff who are happy to help you make the right selection. I bought my mum some oriental lilies for mothers day and they lasted over 2 weeks!!
Approximate cost: $15-$20
Not the closest thai to me but worth the drive. We tried the garlic and pepper chicken stir fry and the spicier lemongrass chilli chicken stir fry. Both were great and came with a good selection of vegetables. Thai Chada at the Grange also have Roti on their menu which I love and it didn't disappoint. Staff were very friendly.
Approximate cost: $13-$18
The Purple Olive has been in the New Farm area for years, I recently tried them again and the quality and service is still fantastic. For starter I shared some fresh baked bread with balsamic and olive oil, for main I had the chicken and mushroom risotto & my friend had the scallop risotto. Both meals were delicious and came in generous portions.
All the pizzas can be made into Calzones - yum! They also have an interesting array of desserts.
Approximate cost: $18-$30
Took the in-laws to Kafe Meze which is in a converted Queenslander. There are different rooms that you can dine in or out on the front deck. The staff were really friendly & accommodating even though they were very busy. The chicken and lamb souvlakis went down well and the lamb chops are also recommended. Great fresh Greek salad with lots of Greek feta.
