The Anti-Boring Brisbane Guide

Welcome to Brissy, 

...I haven't always loved Brisbane, but I do now.

Back when I was a kid we lived in the suburbs so on the weekends we would head into the city and that's when I truly felt alive. I am blessed to live in Woolloongabba, very close to the city and being forced to stay in one place during COVID meant that I was able to re-discover an appreciation for Brisbane like never before. Now after living here for almost 7 years, I am able to provide you with the anti-boring Brisbane guide. 

🍽 Where to Eat: 

- Stanley Restaurant, Howard Smith Wharves 

- Yoko Dining, Howard Smith Wharves

It’s PERFECT for working from your lappy and also has a delicious menu, although I’m trying to save a little cash so I got a smoothie & coffee. But look how yummy the smoothie looks and the garnishes make it just that much sweeter. 🥹 📍 A Cafe Called Kevin, 726 Brunswick St, New Farm QLD 4005 🅿️ Street parking for 2 hours on Annie Street ⏰ 7-2pm everyday ✨ SAVE and SHARE for your next trip to Brisbane.
