Loved this place! The Italian food was so delicious. We also tried two desserts which were equally delicious. How can you go past a cake recipe from Nonna? The service was very friendly, the staff answered questions about the menu and the chef came out to say hello and thank us which was a nice touch. Can’t wait to go back!

Hands down, the BEST seafood pasta you’ll eat in Brisbane. Stepping into Acciuga is like stepping into your local in Italy; the ambience is spot on and the customer service is exceptional from the wait staff right through to the owners who are passionate about what they create and love to chat with you about it. Definitely our new favourite Italian in Brisbane! 10/10

Our experience at this restaurant was outstanding. The service was warm and attentive, making us feel instantly welcome. My risotto was perfectly creamy and full of flavor, while my partner’s spaghettoni was rich and cooked to perfection. With its inviting atmosphere, incredible food, and excellent service, this spot is a must-visit!

Steak cooked perfect medium rare, parmigiana was one of the best schnitzels I’ve had in a long time. The dough for the garlic cheese bread was amazing, will definitely be back to try the pizzas! Great cocktail menu.

We were surprised that the food was good (we expected average), and the steaks cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and attentive, and it had a good buzz about the place with a mixed clientele. If you are looking for a casual setting to eat, or have coffee/cake, I’d definitely give it a try 🙂

I head here for trivia regularly. Very good food and lovely staff that are willing to accommodate the most unusual of food requests if you ask nicely. Definitely come to the Tuesday trivia!

Busy cafe with great reviews. Staff are amazing. Coffee is bellisimo which I love but my almond latte was bubbly and not smooth. If you’re a coffee drinker I don’t think this cafe cuts it but everything else looks great! Thank you

After having a rough night I decided to treat myself to breakfast at Greenfield. I ordered the Katsu Chicken Avo, Macadamia Crepes and Sunrise Juice – each one left me feeling satisfied and I felt my mood lift after every bite. I’ve been to Greenfield a few times over the years and I’m constantly being introduced to new flavours each time. If you plan to visit, I would highly recommend to try something different from what you’d normally order. You won’t be disappointed!

Lovely local cafe with alfresco dining area, delicious food and friendly service. We come here regularly for brunch on Sundays and all the dishes we’ve tried are delicious. Sometimes they run daily specials which are pleasant surprises for customers. Their coffees are decent too. Get here early on weekends as their kitchen may close a bit earlier than their closing time.

Absolutely amazing burgers! My mouth was watering reading the menu, and we weren’t disappointed!! Calamari was well cooked and tender. Burgers were juicy and hot! Fresh, well seasoned chips made this the perfect lunch. The owner was very lovely, polite, and accommodating.. also said hi to our puppy dogs who joined us at the outside tables

Absolutely amazing food! Highly recommend! The burgers are to die for, freshly made to order, and delicious flavours. Menu has plenty of options. The service is outstanding, and everyone catered for even the furbabies. The owner brought out some fresh water for our doggos, making sure they had plenty of cool water! Thank you for an amazing dining experience. I will definitely be coming back and telling everyone about this place! 🧡

First time visiting as a new local and loved it. Nice to listen to the live music while having a couple of Friday drinks. Really attentive staff, dog friendly, delicious food. We had the cheeseburger pizza and it was stacked. Loved the Aether lager on tap which was red/dark in colour surprisingly, but absolutely delicious. Can see the ocean from the tables out front. 10/10.

Wow! What an amazing place EclecTea is.
I saw the reviews online which were great, so we couldn’t wait to check it out. You wont be disappointed. We tried the cheeseburger pizza . My gosh – honestly the best pizza my husband and myself have ever had. A few cocktails as we listen to some live music. What a great place to have local here in Brighton.QLD . And I’m so lucky to have this place a few doors down. Definitely be going on a regular basis. Well done 👍🏼 EclecTea – You all were extremely welcoming.

This place is so good. Lemonade is hands down the best value I have ever found. The pizza is gigantic and the entrees, even tho they’re a bit exzy they’re so yummy and you can’t find them anywhere else so it has value. Go here if you want a good night. It’s so quiet too so you don’t have people always walking past and can eat in a chill place.
