Accor Dining discount applied.
I find it hard to enjoy eating in the heat and humidity, so on occasion the hotel restaurant suits me.

Dinner at Thai Room, ADL CBD.

Excellent feed. Most dishes that a vego/vegan option. Went with the vegan options for all my dishes. Personally, the main dish serving size could have been slightly bigger but otherwise amazing food, amazing environment and staff.

Had the crumbled eggplant, green curry, rice and roti. Washed it all with a Green and Jasmine tea, served in a pot - was sufficient for 2 people.

Went with the Feed Me menu. Restaurant was happy to replace the meat dishes with veg dishes within the Feed Me menu. So yayy!!

Yesterday lunch was at Tattersalls Brisbane, Chandelier Room. Level 2 overlooking the bar.

On the other side is the main dining room I presume (I’m not a member):

This was my entree below. Refreshing and light. Just needed some fluid (so used my red wine).

My main was the barramundi (didn’t get a chance to snap the beef). The red pepper tapenade was the standout (underneath the fish, which was perfectly cooked).

Yummo

When you order your vego meal, do you check that some of the food hasn’t been fried in the same oil as fish or does that not bother you?
