While staying for a few days in South Bank Brisbane, my wife
and I, made a really serious effort to hit as many restaurants and better cafes
as we could. That is three meals a day plus drinks and afternoon teas and
snacks. We then proceeded to Mooloolah Valley and once more sort out food
stops. After five days of this “death by good food” coming home to simpler
meals was well received. For the next
few entries I will post comments about the better eateries we dined at.
From French to Spanish there is truly a huge variety of different restaurants to choose from on South Bank, Brisbane. On our first night’s stay the Ole Restaurant was our first port of call. Dine inside or out. It could get quiet noisy inside with a full house and non-dinning music at volume. The best food idea here maybe is to order a number of small sample plates to try different flavours, tastes and textures. Of course you can order a large meal but for us we tried four different “nibbly” plates.
This is not fine dining and though the restaurant is large
the food quality is cafe grade. But unlike a cafe, large or small, the wine
prices are fine dining grade. The wine was excessively priced for local vino.
We opted for their house red which was a re-labelled clean skin. YUK! This “shit”
was awful. Go for a beer or something else and purchase drinks elsewhere. The
food is OK without being stunning. Staff are friendly and helpful and sitting
outside near the foot path was very pleasant on a cool Brisbane evening. Not my
favourite eating establishment but try it for yourself. Ole!
