Death Valley - Carindale

My goodness I’ve been wanting to go to Gerard’s for years ! We finally went last weekend for my birthday happy days ! We chose to sit outside which was a lovely choice the rain was pouring but with the filtered lighting and draped greenery surrounding us felt otherworldly We ordered the $75 p.p and added on 4 oysters (the best choice ever) to go with our bottle of champagne can I just say, close to the best oysters we’ve ever had, and that’s saying something ! The servings were well portioned, balanced and complemented each other it is a plentiful array and a little on the rich side, but a real treat We finished the evening with a couple of zesty sidecars which were the perfect digestif Couple of observations staff were stretched by 7.30 8pm but were still as attentive as they could be a sign of the omicron capacity stress possibly but it did slow things down considerably towards the end. I did comment in the booking and during the meal that it was my birthday but it fell on deaf ears, but alas, the meal experience itself is the treat Thank you Gerard for a lovely evening !

Fantastic. The flavour combinations and complexity of the dishes were outstanding. Great value too. There were also a large number of dishes easy modified to be vegan with the service staff and chefs ready with a raft of adapted vegan and gluten free options.

Good vibes, great service, plenty of free car park behind. The deco is great inside and out. The menu is simple and the food overall is good but I think for its price point, it may have missed its excellent mark. Some items were quite salty but it may be a personal preference there. The portions are quite small here too. Some remarkable items worth mentioning were the bagel and lamb everything else weren’t bad, but weren’t earth shattering amazing too.

"Looking for something new and special to celebrate specific occasions? Look no further than Gerard's Bistro in Brisbane! I stumbled upon this gem while searching for the best restaurants in the city for my wedding anniversary. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and offered a glass of champagne. The dishes that followed were simply amazing, each one surprising us with its fabulous taste. This is the perfect place to celebrate important milestones or enjoy a gathering with friends. Thank you to the staff and chefs for making our anniversary unforgettable. I can't wait to come back and try more delicious Middle-Eastern cuisine from your menu. Highly recommend!" - Peter Lee

Gerard's bistro is unassuming but an unexpected surprise. The menu sounds simple, but every dish we tried had beautiful flavours. The swordfish was a highlight perfectly cooked, and it was served with currants and nuts. Great contrast in textures and not something I've had before. I'm not even sure how, but they managed to make the vegetable dish (the dish we order because we feel obligated to, because you know, #health and #balance) taste good too! Our server was also really friendly and accommodating. Great work team!
