This is a review of all the restaurants in West End and Highgate Hill Brisbane. With an amazing mix of community groups, this part of Brisbane offers so much potential for great food - Vietnamese, Greek, Mexican, Italian, Thai, Indian, Japanese, yadadadada - all nestled in a small pocket of the Brisbane River. The key word here is "potential". Why does this area offer so much but give very little in the way of good food at good prices? Is it just because this is Brisbane? Perhaps no-one writes about it. We are putting an end to that.

This is not a standard restaurant review. Local people eat locally. People eating at restaurants are [mostly] not food connoisseurs or critics. They are regular people just looking for a decent meal or trying something new. That's who we are. Local and hungry. Here's how it works: local people return to good restaurants time and and time again. So if we don't go back to a restaurant you don't have to be Einstein to work out why.

These are our thoughts on the food in this area...

RATING SYSTEM:

1 coffee bean: WOEFUL//NEVER AGAIN

2 coffee beans: RUBBISH, BUT COULD GO AGAIN IN A PINCH//BASICALLY AWFUL BUT SOME REDEEMING FEATURES

3 coffee beans: NOT BAD BUT SOMETHINGS COULD BE BETTER//ROCK SOLID BUT SOMETHING AMISS

4 coffee beans: TOPS//AWESOME

Caravanserai Turkish Restaurant 1 Dornoch Terrace WEST END 3217 2617

Although we were all pretty boozed up by the time we arrived, with #2 having sustained a severe shoulder injury after giving #1 a running piggy-back in attempts to scare away the hiccups, it was clear this place was not bad. Haloumi (the vegetarian's bacon), other good Turkish type stuff. Lovely. Only drawback was douche bag staff who for some reason didn’t respond well to visitor trying to pay the bill with a business card.

3 beans.
