Bistrot Bistro

I went tonight to the Bistrot Bistro on Logan road in Woolloongabba.

Woolloongabba has become a bit of a restaurant haven there in the old Moreton Rubber building.  It's a nice looking restaurant helped by the interesting features of the old building.

Trouble was the food.

I had a Chestnut and Mushroom risotto as a main.  This was the only vegetarian option (which I can be forgiving as it is a small limited menu of 5 mains). 

To start the presentation was dreadful.  All my meat and fish eating friends got delicate, beautiful looking (and tasting from what I've heard) food.  Whereas my risotto was sloped on a plate/bowl with no garnish or anything looking like yellow slop.

The presentation I could have forgiven except to my disappointment the risotto was inedible.  The rice was cooked well, but all I could taste was Parmesan cheese.  Very overpowering Parmesan cheese.

I would definitely not go back until they changed there menu.


It is strange that ever since I have started this blog I have been to two 'bistros' and had two inedible risottos.  Here's hoping my next review is not cursed!


Score - 2 Cheeses out of 5
