Brisbane City and its Surronding locations is a great destination for many different types of cuisine. I have had the chance to sample many of these.
Tonight I was feeling something simple yet satisfying and found myself at Hogs Breath Cafe on Petrie Terrace.
Walking distance from both Milton and Roma stations and inside The Barracks hub, it's a great destination for a solo and shared meal whether it's with your partner, friends or family. For those who drive, parking is available underneath the centre and offers the first two hours free. That's plenty for dinner.
We have been a couple times in the last 6 months but like always we were greeted by the polite owner Jason who looked for us seated and comfortable in moments. As always he checked how we had been before introducing us to tonight's waiter Barbie. I love how they all have nicknames. We have made up a game where we try and guess their names before we leave.
I always feel manly when I go to Hogs Breath which allows me to fully appreciate their prime rib steaks. Now I'll let you in on a secret, if you like jalapeños, salsa and cheese on your steaks order the El Grande. The El grande is my favourite steak on the menu, but it's not actually on the menu. A good hogs breath will always offer it if you order it because even tho it's not a menu item the button is still on the register. If your feeling hungry get the mega cut and go for broke.
We ordered our meals and drinks and before we know it they were delivered by Jason who stopped in for a chat. Just like magic our meals appeared in moments and we were left to enjoy.
Now I don't know how you like your steaks but I like mine just a little pink and melting in your mouth. I had a bite and my taste buds were satisfied.
From the moment we sat down till the last bite of our meals our experience was fantastic. Even though it was a quiet night it was a very good environment with music and chatter for ambience.
A great benefit of repeat customers is the frequent dinner card that entitles you to 25% off your meal. (Only applies to one seat, not the whole table)
Now if you ever find yourself craving a super steak and a beer or two make sure you check the place out. Full of great meal choices and friendly faces. It's the one place that after I finish my steak, I say to myself I'll come back tomorrow.
Afterwards you could always venture down Caxton street which has plenty of bars with the offering of craft beers, pokies, sports and music.
