We stayed here last time we were in Sydney and were very impressed, as we got a great cheap deal. The place was very basic, but the effort staff made was great. It was very comfortable and surprisingly quiet, considering we were in the middle of Oxford Street. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a wonderful cooking store at West End. I attended a demonstration here and found the staff to be very helpful, going out of their way to assist and full of knowledge. It's a great store with a good range, and extremely good prices. I'd definitely make my bigger purchases here.

This is my favourite cooking store. They have a wonderfully stylish set out, with excellent helpful staff, great products at great prices, and a wonderful range. I was unable to find some decorating tips and they were the only place in Brisbane that went to the effort of helping me and ordering them in. I always find their prices good, and they hold cooking demos from time to time. Great store.

The best indian in australia! Even better than indian food in Sydney. Their vegetarian and vegan options are absolutely delicious. You must try the dhal masala and dhal palak. The staff are always very on the ball and this place is always busy - because it's so good. Everyone is always happy when we eat here.

The only completely organic vegan cafe in Brisbane. They make some fantastic cakes (only occasionally are a little bit dry), have great burgers, a good hot box filled with various dishes, and have great teas, coffees, organic beer and wine, etc. I really like this place, although the decor is a little bit shabby it's nice and cosy.

This would have to be my favourite thai. Their tempura vegetables are fantastic, their red curry is always great, the stir frys are awesome. The staff always go out of their way to be polite and helpful, and they have a fantastic vegetarian menu. It's always good.

A great bank - really good service, really good deals, friendly, approachable, and very convenient for all Hospital Staff. I've not had one problem and they've always gone out of their way to assist.

I quite like this place. The service can be mediocre, and I wouldn't recommend closed-minded people go to the Sunday Feast, but the rest of the time it's great, healthy, cheap food. Really healthy and yummy. Can be a little bland.

This is my favourite vegetarian restaurant in Brisbane. It is better than most vegetarian restaurants in Australia. They are so friendly, so obliging, the food is amazing and it's not expensive. The atmosphere is nice too. You must try their salted fried "chicken" (not really chicken).

Approximate cost: $12

Great place to eat - have lots of awesome vegan options, conscientious staff - great atmosphere. A really good place that appeals to a large cross-section of people.
