About
I moved to Indooroopilly in 2004 and I'm no restaurant critic - far from it. Eating out was something my family only did on very special occasions.... but nevertheless I have a girlfriend now and I've been to quite a few restaurants, and it's started to frustrate me that I always forget the names of restaurants I've been to, or can't find the address.
When someone asked me what restaurants I'd recommend I kind of just go blank... I'd be lucky to think of more than three practical options, and even luckier if I could remember how to get there. :-)
I've created this page to help me remember which restaurants I like and a quick reference I can load onto my mobile phone for quick access to the phone number and address of restaurants. Eating out makes a nice change from cooking and there are a LOT of good restaurants around Brisbane!

Japanese, Teppanyaki

Description: Went with Debbie in 2008 - was fantastic experience - interactive, theatrical and amazing. You share a chef with about 8 other sitting around, and he throws eggs at you, cooks prawns to perfections and all... the best option is to get one of the set menus - unfortunately it's also VERY expensive (cheapest set menu = $59), but is pretty filling and it's probably a place you only visit once in lifetime!
