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

Makan Indonesia 4/59 Hardgrave Rd 3846 2111

Woeful. We got two take away laksas. I rode and picked them up, The old bloke – totally ocka Australian-Indo bloke was watching NRL on TV. Anyway the laksas were in massive bowls and tasted ok – but towards the bottom the undissolved “Laksa Stock Paste” really told the story of this place. Don’t use laksa sauce from a packet morons.

Dined: Sept 2008.

1 bean.
