Brisbane, Briefly

May 5-6, 2012
We made a flying catch to Brisbane on the weekend to celebrate the marriage ceremony of 2 honey friends, together with nosotros did our bird best to squelch to a greater extent than nutrient together with friends into our 28-hour stay. On our arrival, the Academic together with the Dilettante right away whisked us off to the Buddha Birth Day Festival at Southbank.

Our visits to the festival inwards Melbourne told us that there'd endure mock meat together with lots of it. Indeed in that location was, though the snacks available were quite repetitive together with non of the highest standard.

Mattheworbit's festival nutrient favourite presently became ours likewise - Langos! Eating deep-fried Hungarian breadstuff powerfulness non endure the most traditional agency to award Buddha's birthday, but it worked for us. It surely supplied us alongside the same gluten-glued stomachs that a total mock meat repast would accept provided.


On Dominicus morn nosotros dragged our hungover bodies to West End for breakfast. The Burrow has lately opened inwards a infinite nosotros knew equally a Turkish eating theatre together with it's lovely inwards daylight hours! It's airy, nevertheless cool together with shady, alongside a pair of little tables visible upstairs.

Ordering our coffees together with meals at the counter felt a fleck awkward but nosotros were good looked after. Michael's apartment white well-nigh compaction him dorsum to the tabular array together with nosotros didn't accept to hold back much longer for food. The beer baked beans, served alongside toast together with topped alongside guacamole ($12), were a highlight.


(Update, 31/12/2014: The Green Edge has moved from Enoggera to Windsor - consider their website for details.)

We took a circuitous suburban road dorsum to the airport, coming together Terry together with my mum at The Green Edge inwards Enoggera. The strip mall-on-a-clearway setting powerfulness non endure encouraging but within there's a gorgeous communal tabular array (fully occupied when nosotros entered at noon!), a little cafe kitchen together with to a greater extent than vegan groceries than I imagined were stocked inwards all of Brisbane.

Either the Academic or the Dilettante had called ahead to allow them know nosotros were visiting, together with nosotros were good looked after. (I've got a hunch that these folks are to a greater extent than ofttimes than non helpful together with charming regardless!) We battled massive, messy together with tasty burgers (satay tofu for Michael, veggie for Mum together with mushroom for me, each $12), I downed a super-sugary vegan cookies'n'cream milk tremble ( $7) together with deeply regretted our lack of fourth dimension together with appetite for i of their vegan sundaes. They were sort plenty to pack us off alongside walnut-crusted brownies for the flying home.

It's slow to experience nostalgic for Brisbane's bluish skies together with 25 bird tumble days. On this catch I was unexpectedly  impressed past times the city's newer veg*n venues together with options too.
