Winter brews; the good kind.
Our stomachs are rumbling and our mouths, salivating. This week we're bringing you naughty (but oh so nice) bites and beverages to help get you through the cold front this month. Your morning brew should be hot, your burgers should be big and your evening beers should make you very hoppy. Read on to find out about the latest foodie events and specials happening over the next few wintery weeks!
You're pretty damn cool Brisbane
During the cooler months, some of us choose to hibernate while others choose to rug up, get out and milk this glorious city for all it's worth. If you're a pigeon like us, you love to spread your wings and fly high! Rain, hail or shine, exploring every nook and cranny on the grid is totally our thing. We're a lucky flock of birds as Brisbane is always producing new and exciting things for us to see and do. Local is lovely and this week there are plenty of lovely things us locals can do - how does feasting on copious amounts of dessert and cheese or indulging in a little retail therapy sound?

Summer lovin'
Woolloongabba gem, The Priory Kitchen, sits at the top of our Brisbane breakfast bucket list, and for good reason. The uber-chic cafe has got it all going on with it's cool-contemporary interior, super friendly staff, delicious bites and of course, mouth-watering coffee. Ahh yes, their coffee is so damn good, one cup just ain't enough. Brekky isn't the only thing they do well though, their lunch and dinner menus are just as tantalizing and, did we mention they also do cocktails?
Summer in the city
Forget the beach, Brisbane summers are all about iced coffee's, champagne, fresh seafood, cocktails and cool cinemas. Where else do you get to stroll through a french inspired lane way with a glass of bubbly in hand or chow down on freshly shucked oysters at a massive seafood block party? We're telling you - Brisbane is where its at this silly season. Leave the kinis at home 'cause we're doing summer in the city.
Spread those wings
The sun is shining and there's plenty to see, do, eat and drink around Brisbane over the next few weeks. Start the day right with a power walk around the river, grab a coffee in Spring Hill then lunch in Woolloongabba, fly into the Valley for a quick stretch before finishing the night with a wino named Mr Chester...

The Priory Kitchen in Woolloongabba is the perfect casual and professional culinary destination, featuring a fabulous fusion of contemporary and industrial decor with splashes of greenery and classic art murals lining the walls. Their delicious new winter menu developed by owners Mike and Amy Bates (founders of Pablo in New Farm) will certainly hit the spot, with the decadent yet balanced potato rosti and pork belly dish proving a delectable favourite.
