Back into Brisbane CBD today - destination was the private room in Alchemy on Eagle Street. No menu.

Bread - visually beautiful and tasty



Entree

I forgot to get a photo of the Wrigley family super yacht moored opposite the restaurant. My seatmate had staff that had nothing better than looking up the registration.

Here’s one I prepared earlier…

Cliveden Bar, Pullman East Melbourne - late lunch from their all day menu. It was very noisy with a group of workers, staff allowed us to sit in the quiet of the restaurant- hence the tablecloth.

Steak Frites


With a French rosè

Heche en Mexico, CBR CBD … catchup with a different set of mates…

Started with jackfruit taco - 7/10



Followed by Birra sandwich with vegan chilli corn carne - 8/10. The spicy sauce/dip was a standout for me …


Will definitely try this place again ..

Dumpling Social, CBR.

Newly refurbished place in CBR. Used to be a dumpling place earlier too.

Tried the sautéed green beans with vege floss - a bit salty my liking, but overall the dish was likable .. Will try again, but with a side of rice or something to balance the flavours …



And a side of fresh chilli



The restaurant had a poster that captures my thoughts and sentiments
