I haven't been there for years; what are some decent eateries at Southbank?

I don't mind that um.. san marcos or something i think its called. foods good and prices are relatively good for what you get

they make a really good toblerone cocktail too

Check piaf for a cheap good feed, just hope you don't run into simon (owner) cos he's a f***head

not exactly a sterling recommendation

San Marcos looks the goods, ta

Ahmet's kicks my ass, and it's pretty well priced too.

I'd agree with kilos.

i fix the fridges at san marco!
the food i have sampled has been pretty good :]

Friend of mine's parents own some asian restaurant there.

Only went there once but the food was pretty good for the price.

Can't remember the name for the life of me though >.< I only remember where it is

Is the "My Restaurant Rules" restaurant still there?

I love Kapsali, right on the pools there. Really nice if youre in the deck overlooking the pool are and the river. Also huge range, great prices, nice seafood. Can be loud if your seated inside on a busy night.

milk?

Ahmet's - try the IED shish

ask saint, he takes all his hot dates to southbank

ask saint, he takes all his hot dates to southbank to rape them

they make a really good toblerone cocktail too

ick. bartenders everywhere hate you for ordering that. generic chocolate drink that has no alcohol flavour.
also, not milk, MYLK. and no, it lost about halfway through the series, therefore it closed.

Agreed. It's wifey's favourite.

The Point is nice if you got some cash

Agreed with San Marcos and Ahmets. Only went to San Marco's once for my birthday a few years ago, but it was really nice. I go to Ahmets every year for my mate's birthday and we all love it there. Especially if you go on the weekend when they have the belly dancing on and they get you to get up and dance with them, that's a bit of fun. The banquets are amazing

+1 Ahmets

Also Saint doesn't need to rape his hawt dates cause he's dreamy...

i can't believe nobody has mentioned the wang dynasty. has a name that'll set the mood prefectly for your date.

I agree with Ahmets Trog. Went there last year when I was staying at Southbank for a couple of weeks.

Disappointed none of you have mentioned era bistro

http://www.erabistro.com.au/

really really good food, although its a bit pricey.

Don't think I've ever seen/noticed Era Bistro before?? Haven't really been the restaurants around Southbank for quite some time. The new sushi train next to the cinemas is pretty good though too.

yes it is minxy, been eating there too often for lunch :S

doesn't beat the sushi train at chermside though

I'll admit, I'm still a big fan of the old sushi train on Elizabeth Street, even tho it's nothing fancy it has a pretty wide range of food and has some pretty awesome bento boxes. But yea Paveway, the sushi train at Chermside is awesome. Going there Thursday night for dinner :D

nothing beats the sushi train at chermside.

era does make awesome food. toby, the apprentice running the tapas section has just put out a new menu and it sounds rad. great wine list and selection of beers too.

Best sushi I've had is at that place off the Queen St Mall, just up the escalators (middle ish) can't remember what it's called?

nothing beats the sushi train at chermside.

True that, I ate everyweek at the Redcliffe sushi train for years... then my mate turned me onto the Chermside one.

Their nigiri is sooo ridiculously fresh FTW.

i've eaten at 2 places in the city and they both had this weird not-fresh taste about them.

Agreed, Chermside tastes so much more fresh than any other sushi trains around, except for maybe the new Southbank one, they're pretty good there too.

The best sushi place I found in the city is on Adelaide street just up from the entrance to David Jone's - basically opposite Ted's cameras. Always has a queue out on the footpath.

Now I don't work in the city :(

QGL Sushi night?

/with sake

Best Sushi is had at either Sono in Queen St / Portside, or Oyama in the Valley.

You pay for it. But it's f***ing good.

wrong ^

2nd vote sono - portside. Quality atmosphere/food/waitresses :P

Especially if you go on the weekend when they have the belly dancing on and they get you to get up and dance with them, that's a bit of fun.

the belly dancer there is my girlfriends sister :)

the last one i saw there was overweight, so i wouldn't be owning up to something like that

lol must be a different one

Well, belly dancers are supposed to actually have a belly, not be super thin. Traditionally, that is.

Also, went to Sono for lunch with my Japanese class last year and it was awesome. My bento box was really good

3rd vote for portside sono, had my 21st dinner there was pro.

If you like your japanese trog the Ginga on little grey st is nice. Just make sure it's the little grey st one tho and not the ginga sushi train next to the imax.

what?

there are 2 ginga's in southbank the sushi train next to the imax which is the good one and the s***ty little take away down on little grey street which has pre-made sutff in packs...

The s***ty take away one actually has a decent restaurant part inside. The takeaway stuff is crap but restaurant food is pro

-1 for ahmets, that place sucks

+1 for kapsali

-1 for ahmets, that place sucks

lol

went to ahmets the other night in bulimba, it's pretty nice.

The only time that I have been to Ahmets we scored some free bread and dips.

After we ordered they brought out the plate of Turkish bread and dips and we though 'That's nice, complimentary dips'. We also were wondering what the wiredo's were looking at sitting next to us.

Turns out we were eating their entree. They weren't too happy about that. Other than that the food was ok without been great.

Thanks guys, hit up Kapsali last night and had a good feed before seeing Phantom of the Opera.

Man, I haven't been to Southbank in like 10 years - cannot believe how much its changed since then. Lots of restaurants to choose from now!

10 years wtf

Sushi Station > sushi train

haha oh you're a funny one ace

Man, I haven't been to Southbank in like 10 years

Who would have thought there was a Brisbane outside of Indooroopilly

Was phantom good? I want to go.

Phantom is the ultimate musical. Went to see it again last month (saw it last time it came to Bris). See it before any other.

Was phantom good? I want to go.

Yeh it was OK. I'd seen it before so was, in all honesty, a bit underwhelmed by the thing as a whole, but I could appreciate it on its technical merits.

Also, dinner funny at kapsalis - while I was sitting there finishing my meal (was sitting outside on the deck under the tree) a cockroach fell out of the tree and landed on my plate. Fortunately it was right at the end of the meal so I didn't really give a s***, but it could have been worse!@#

you should have taken it to them and said look what i found under my dinner

ginga is f***ing awesome

has anyone been to Stone ?

Never heard of Stone??? What's that, and where?

It's at Southbank on Grey Street..

Wondering if anyone has been there?

Stone is the restaraunt under the Saville, right across from CBD
