Have Christmas Come to You This Year!
Christmas may be one day on our annual calendar, however as soon as the clock ticks over to December 1st, the silly season has begun. There seems to be a lot of eating and drinking, and not a whole lot of anything else happening during this festive period. So, to make your life a little bit easier, we have put together a Christmas Catering Guide. Have you run out of time to whip something together for that party you have on tomorrow night or just can’t be bothered cooking on Christmas Day? Look no further (no, please do) because we have the solutions to all your Christmas catering troubles right here.
All I Want For Christmas is Food
When it comes to Christmas, there is no denying that one of the first thoughts that come to mind is the thought of what food we’re going to eat. Whether you want to curve from the regular home-made turkey, potatoes, and vegetables Christmas feast and want to try something different, or you have an event that needs the perfect food – we’ve got you. We have brought together (and wrapped in a red, sparkly bow), some of the best places to demolish an unforgettable Christmas feast this year! Bon Appetit!
Fresh Concept, Even Fresher Produce
Fancy yourself a bit of a fancypants? Always on the quest for the very best? Your weekly trip to Woolies not quite cutting it in the luxury stakes? Enter Mercado, Australia’s newest, and poshest, food shopping concept arrives at King Street in Bowen Hills.
The winds of change..
Brisbane is like a fine bottle of wine; over time the quality improves, and each sip is greatly appreciated. Our city is continually evolving and maturing, producing breathtaking venues that never cease to amaze us. If it's not an entirely new concept, it's a renovation or re-brand. Let's just say, if Bris were a TV series it would either be Packed to the Rafters or Keeping Up With The Kardashians - wouldn't you agree? No month is the same in this town and we wouldn't have it any other way!
Feeling Worldly
This week we're turning Greek, Pan-Asian, Mexican and everything else in between (including obese) with the wide range of upcoming festivals, openings and events that'll leave us cultured AF. Settle in to a traditional 3 course dinner or cruise the streets of South Bank in search of burgers dripping with flavour - whatever you're up for we promise it'll satisfy those taste buds.
New menu, who dis?
Out with the old and in with the new (well, sort of). Staying on top of seasonal foodie trends and produce is something most Brisbane eateries take pride in #lucky. Menus are continually being updated and tweaked to suit, not only our wants and needs, but also, what's current, fresh and locally sourced. We've had the privilege of taste-testing a number of new breakfast, lunch, dinner and drink menus over the past few weeks, and we think you should try them too. Be quick though, time fly's when you're having fun and before you know it, it'll be spring and the menus will be different again!
Go on, get out there
Lady birds and gentle pigeons, listen up. It's time to round up the flock and get ready for a jam-packed schedule this weekend, cause we're doing it all! From lantern-lit evening walks to long lunches, massive markets and beefed up bites, we've picked a few happenings that'll keep you warm, full and feeling good. If you're thinking of staying in, think again. There's too much to see and do so, spread those wings and get ready to soar around the city with us..
