2. Alfred & Constance in Fortitude Valley. Right next door to Alfredo’s. Good for drinks and food but can get busy at night. I prefer going during the day on weekends and leaving before it gets too hectic.
3. Alfred & Constance again. I discovered the dessert menu. Hello calories.
5. Campos again. Also, juices!
6. Mondo Organics in West End. If you haven’t guessed from their name, organic ingredients is their schtick. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner but be sure to check opening times as they vary throughout the week.
7. Sourced Grocer in Teneriffe. Part cafe/part grocer. Great for coffees and quick eats, as well as fresh produce and gourmet goods.
8. Guzman y Gomez Mexican Taqueria, found in numerous locations. This is probably the closest I get to eating fast food these days. But it’s the best kind. Also, frozen margaritas and sangria!
9. Hoo Ha Bar in South Brisbane. A chilled out cafe/bar. Great for coffee and snacks during the day (and salted caramel milkshakes, ahem) and drinks at night.
And a few favourites that aren’t pictured here but still deserve a mention:
– The Gun Shop cafe in West End. It’s a Brisbane institution. I don’t think they’ve ever let me down. Be prepared to queue in the mornings for breakfast. But they do take bookings for dinner.
– Pearl Cafe in Woolloongabba. Good coffee and good food. That’s about all you need to know.
– The Davies Park Markets in West End. Takes place on Saturday mornings and is a great way to start the weekend. Grab breakfast from one of the food stalls and pick up your groceries for the week ahead. Although if you hate crowds then you should probably avoid it.
– At Sixes and Sevens in Fortitude Valley. Bar/restaurant. Chilled set-up, plus excellent use of an astro turf lawn.
– Piaf at Southbank. I usually steer clear of restaurants on Grey St but Piaf is an exception.
– Mizu in Teneriffe and West End. Simple set-up but great Japanese food.
– Harajuku Gyoza in Fortitude Valley. Long after the hype, I still love it. Probably the happiest place in Brisbane.
– The Bowery in Fortitude Valley. Always, forever, for cocktails.
Oh my goodness, all these food photos are making me salivate! It's a shame that I live so far away, but I'm definitely bookmarking this for the next time I visit Brisbane 🙂
OHMYGOD YUM.

Went to Alfredo's for the first time last week and it is awesome! Alfred and Constance just felt like a massive house party where I knew no one though haha.
+1 for sixes and sevens! Ah so many great places opening in Brisbane I am loving it!
I feel Alfredo's is going to become a regular for me. I have to work my way through the menu! hahaI
I so appreciated your Brisbane recommedations when I went! I get a bit funny about taking food photos too but I love seeing what people are eating, it inspires me to try new things or new places so will whip out the iphone when its something especially delicious 🙂
Thank you for sharing Soph! I am excited to try some of these other cafes/restaurants. I've been to the Sourced Grocer: http://eatprayworkout.com/the-sourced-grocer/
and love the markets in Davies park – I go regularly! I havn't looked around West End much yet but really want to.
Put aside the awkward…its worth it for the blog, that's what I always say 😉

That pizza at the top looks amaaaazing.
I tend to be the same away about taking pictures of my food, but I've found it extremely useful when you've found an eatery in Brisbane that's worth going back to. I can always refer to my photos in storage and be reminded of what a lovely meal I've had.
