The foodie's challenge

The challenge set for me is this. Eat at all top 100 restaurants as decided by Gourmet Traveller in 2007. Completion deadline: mid-January 2009. That's two years in which to dine at each of the 100 restaurants chosen by Gourmet Traveller in their 2007 restaurant guide. Quite a challenge when you consider that these restaurants are not all located in our country's capital cities. Many are in regional centres. Join me on my journey!

Current tally: 55 out of 100 dining experiences completed. More posts to come.

Gianni, Brisbane

This was rather an unexpected surprise. I had a wonderful night here with a couple of friends, on a beautifully warm Brisbane evening recently. Alfresco dining is the order of the day and the atmosphere is quite lovely.


One big surprise was the champagne trolley. What a wonderful idea! A trolley with bottles of champagne on ice, making it easy to make a choice - and I'm possibly one of the few women who don't ordinarily think highly of champagne. We enjoyed our pink champagne immensely and made an appropriate toast. The wine list also had a few gems on it, and the aged semillon we ordered was divine.


The food was also great. The foie gras was superb, and my friends were equally impressed with their choices of entree. Mains were lovely too, and we enjoyed our wine with the cheese we selected.

I enjoyed Gianni's very much and highly recommend it. I would gladly go back.

Gianni is at 12 Edward Street, Brisbane. Ph 07 3221 7655.
