Eating

Following are a few of my favourite places to eat in Brisbane:

Norman Pub - The Norman is known as the worst vegetarian restaurant in the world. That's because their steaks are amazing! When you order you get to pick your slab of meat from the window, the way it should be cooked and the sauce. If you like meat then you need to stop off here at least once! Address: 102 Ipswich Rd, Woolloongabba, QLD 4102. Phone: (07) 3391 5022.

Ginja Japanese Restaurant Southbank - Amazing Japanese food and very well priced. I've eaten at most Japanese restaurant in Brisbane and this is my favourite by far! Address: Shop 11 & 12 Little Stanley Street, South Bank. Phone: (07) 3846 2313.

Purple Gorilla Burgers - Really, really yummy burgers. Also they are HUGE. I advise being very hungry when eating there. Address: 19a/ 803 Stanley StWoolloongabba Phone: (07) 3393 0699.

Sultans Kitchen (Indian) - Great indian food. Beware though - their website says they deliver but every time I've rung to order the home delivery the person at the other end of the line says they don't do it. Paddington, Clayfield and Coorparoo.

Sultans Turkish Restaurant - I love this place. On weekends they are open 24 hours. Plus they have a drive through. Great food too! Address: 2125 Sandgate Rd, Boondall. Phone: 07 3265 3555.

Thai Jasmine - Absolutely delicious thai food. Just amazing. Plus great service too. Address: 875 Old Cleveland Rd Carina. Phone: (07) 3398 3193.

Sirromet Winery - This winery combines great food with an amazing setting. Their are wild wallabies everywhere. The food is amazing and well worth the trip out to Mount Cotton. Address: 850 – 938 Mount Cotton Road Mount Cotton. Phone: (07) 3206 2999.

Huongs Vietnamese and Thai - They have fabulous food. I highly recommend the duck. The sugar cane prawns are great. Address: 83a Vulture St West End. Phone: (07) 3844 6701.

King of Kings Yum Cha - King of Kings does amazing seafood. I'm really partial to their lunch. They do Yum Cha where their staff walk around pushing trays of food and you just pick the food you want off the trays. Very yummy!

Breakfast Creek Hotel - This is the Norman Hotel's main competitor. Great steaks. Well worth a visit! Address: 2 Kingsford Smith Dr, Breakfast Creek. Phone: (07) 3262 5988.

Pete's Seafood - Okay, this isn't in Brisbane. It's at the Gold Coast. But they have the best fish and chips in the world. You go into the store, pick the fillet of fish you want from the amazing rarnge, take it to the counter and tell them how you would like it cooked. I also highly recommend the calamari. Yum! Address: 120 Seaworld Drv Main Beach. Phone: (07) 5591 7747
