The Florist Kitchen Wine

We found the Florist Kitchen Wine Bar tucked away on Turbot St, near the Brisbane courts and 400 George St precinct, and were instantly drawn in by the fairy lights, modern romantic interiors and, let 's be honest, the premise of it being a 'wine bar '. We opted to sample a number of share dishes as our main meal and boy are we glad we did! We honestly couldn 't fault a single thing we tried and were truly blown away by how flavoursome, well balanced and thought out the dishes were. Plus, the share plate menu is extensive and features a dedicated vegetarian section. Dishes we tried included: crispy fried chicken with tahini mayo, sprout salad and toasted sesame seeds, beef brisket sliders with sriracha mayo and slaw, duck pancakes with hoisin sauce and herbs, tamarind glazed pork belly with shoot salad and crackle crumbs and three-cheese mac n cheese balls with tomato sugo. Almost impossible to pick a favourite, but the pork belly and duck pancakes were exceptionally good. We washed it all down with a Bahamas Lychee and Ederflower Collins, which were both super refreshing, served tall and not overly sweet (just how we like it). Overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and we hope to get back soon to try more!

The restaurant is a bit hard to find. We went for a quick dinner on Thursday night. Waitresses are friendly, and food is tasty. We ordered fry chicken, lemongrass calamari and char cheese. Flavor is good, the only issue is the portion of our Fry chicken. It is like a fry chicken strip salad, with tiny pieces chicken on the top. Otherwise fabulous meal.

Wow absolutely wow!! Me and my family had such a lovely time at this beautiful restaurant. We felt so at home here. It has a nice warm cosy feel with brillaint food and awesome drinks on offer.<br/ <br/ I loved the variety of options they had on their menu. It had alot of my favourite foods which l got carried away ordering. My kids really enjoyed the crispy chips and crispy fried chicken. The coating on the chicken was soo delicious and it was a great start. Also tried the Lemongrass calamari which was so light and refreshing but what won my husband over was the jalapeno poppers with raspberry coulis. That coulis was soo amazing and so different. Brilliant!<br/ <br/ Of course we couldnt go past the T Bone Steak. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned soo well. Such a stunning dish and a must try.<br/ <br/ Our night finished on a high with some really yummy desserts. Kids of course loved the Ice cream cookie sandwich and it came with fresh strawberries and blueberries and we enjoyed the Coconut Panna Cotta. Great way to finish our night. Hats off to the chef.

After a long day in the office (for my girlfriend, anyway) we decided to take ourselves out to a little inner-city dining treat. We were having a craving for a nice steak, and the T-bone on the menu sounded very promising . . List:ºBerry MuleºBotanical CrushºBahamas Lychee.

Taking up the entire corner of the ground floor of the Santos Building, The Florist Kitchen Wine Bar is perhaps the perfect Insta-spot with its pretty pink feature wall adorned with old-school black white photos. Given that it was an unseasonably hot day, we ordered some fresh juices to cool down. The lychee, apple fresh strawberries $6.90) is a delicious option if you are in the mood for something non-alcoholic. Lunch here can be a short or long affair depending on what you desire, as the ‘street food’ section of the menu offers dishes like fish tacos $15) and an open steak sandwich with salad $17) for an express lunch, or if you prefer something fancier, then you are spoilt with options like T-bone steak with béarnaise sauce, duck fat potatoes and seasonal vegetables $65) designed to be shared) and chicken cream pumpkin fettuccini $32).
