Chowhouse

3.75 stars - restaurant has great atmosphere and friendly staff. Some dishes were a hit and miss. Prices are reasonable for some too. We tried the: 》pecking duck & shallot pancake - substantial size, very salty tho 》Honey sriracha pork belly - my favourite dish! The meat was nice and soft and the skin was super crunchy. Amazing flavours 》 Sticky glazed beef short rib - also another favourite. Meat fell off the bone easily, had good smokey flavours 》Teriyaki Salmon - fish was cooked well however the sauce was average. The mixture with orange was strange 》 Chicken, green mango & lychee salad - interesting fusion. Very refreshing however chicken is quite bland 》 Pork bao - also another interesting fusion. Bit dry and the combinations of flavours didn't work very well together

I like the atmosphere and the the decor. It felt cozy and relaxing. The coffee was quite good and it has your main breakfast staples on the menu, haven't seen lunch or dinner menu. The breakfast beef burrito was pretty good, didn't let me down. Overall good place, solid but not a standout. Would I return? Yes, but not go out of my way.

Hit and miss here but I love how experimental the menu is! I had some very disappointing ricotta French toast here one time so have stuck to savoury ever since. I absolutely love one particular dish - smoked salmon on hash potato cake with avocado, poached egg and horse radish creme fraiche! I get it every time now and it is the perfect indulgent breakfast for weekends!

During a brief visit to Brisbane over the weekend a friend who lives in Fortitude Valley recommended this restaurant. Three of us ordered the ‘special’ for the evening, ‘snapper fillet on a taro rösti’. The fish was perfectly cooked and the taro rösti crisp and delicious. The broccoli and sauce were a perfect accompaniment. The Pork Belly (smelt and looked divine) and chicken satay ordered by others were apparently very good as well. An easy 5 star for the food this evening. We found the seating awkward - 2 round tables together in the central inside area where we moved to after changing from an outdoor table in a high traffic area. The service and setting just ok so overall 4 stars from me. I’d like to go back just to try the pork belly!
