Wine & Larder — Restaurant in Brisbane City

A suburban delight

How lucky are we to have The Wine & Larder as a local, walking distance restaurant/tapas bar. As my partner said last night after the second round of dishes came out - “Everything is always so good here”. The quality of the sourced produce is always exceptional as well as the innovative mix of flavours. Some nights we come for a restaurant dinner, sometimes a little earlier for wine and a mix of entrees as a tapas bar experience. All the staff, both front of house and in the kitchen are brilliant but what makes this place really special is Mark, the owner. His wine knowledge is encyclopaedic and he ensures there is always a different mix of Australian and overseas offerings on the menu to try. For regulars, he gets to know your taste preferences, and whether you are a bit adventurous (we are….mostly), and recommends accordingly.

We gave up choosing our own some time ago and now trust him to choose for us after giving him the basic information of whether we are after a crisp white or a more complex red. His choice has never failed us. If you want a great, yet casual dining experience The Wine & Larder should definitely be on your list….and you don’t have...

A Hidden Gem

Stumbled upon Wine & Larder in Ashgrove and wow, what a find! Their small plates menu is on point, and they've got a kickass lineup of cheese and meats. They don't just make food; they make food that you'll remember.

Think European style wine bar with an easy-going touch. It’s got this cool, classy feel without being stuffy. Perfect for date night, or just relaxing with drink and friends.

In a nutshell, Wine & Larder is a top-notch spot that won't break your wallet. Can...

We contacted Mark to see if he would cater for a gathering of 12 to celebrate my 50th birthday. Mark's professional and responsive communication was awesome as he masterfully led us through ideas of personalizing a menu. We chose a combination of small to medium plates with guests finishing with a dessert. It truly was a spectacular event led by Jazz and her team. Our tables were beautifully prepared, all dishes were absolutely delicious and the desserts sublime. Our guests ordered drinks from the comprehensive drinks menu. We were all delighted, commenting how lucky we were to live close by such a wonderful food and wine paradise. Thank you to all the Wine and...
