Mr. Mista is an L.A. inspired cocktail bar & Asian influenced kitchen that caters for people who love an elegant dining experience, but can still party.

The experience is designed to be enjoyed together and bring forward strong feelings of familiarity, like you’ve been here before.Was it that little village where no one spoke english, but you had the most amazing stir fry served on a leaf? Or was it when you went to L.A. and tried Banh Mi for the first time?Whatever it is for you, our food is going to make you feel some type of way. Textures that crunch, aromas to make your mouth water, flavours that make you vocal (argh) & aesthetics you’ll want to share to your story.Did someone say drinks? Our cocktail list will hit you with nostalgia that reminds you of that holiday, where you had a butler, a poolside cabana & an endless supply of fresh coconut

• Steakhouse • Fortitude Valley

Bienvenue. Les Bubbles is a Parisian steakhouse on the corner of Wickham and Little Street in Fortitude Valley, forged in the very same building that housed the notorious illegal casino, bath-house and brothel at the centre of the Fitzgerald Inquiry. While the card decks and kerb servers are all but gone, the building’s colourful history remains pinned to every wall. Steak frites – known by many as the national dish of France – is the centrepiece of our menu. We sear the steak to your liking, before serving it with bread, salad, plenty of sauce and bottomless frites. Les Bubbles welcomes all, and as such, both vegetarian and pescatarian eaters will feel right at home. For any curious individuals, a change of scenery is available by wandering down a single flight of stairs. It’s there that you will find the Bath-House, featuring a full bar, banquet seating and a open-aired deck to enjoy a pre or post dinner cocktail!

    Fabulous experience at Essa yet again! Adrien & Maggie were purely delightful and we really enjoyed their impeccable level of service! Adrien is such an amazing Sommelier and his knowledge of wine is next level! Set menu was not what we had anticipated (we weren’t advised of it when we booked months ago), however it was divine and incredible value. Wow, just, what a fabulous evening and we will be back for sure!

    We loved the Perspective experience so we came to try the Eucalyptus Room for Valentine's Day. We had a wonderful evening. The impeccable standard set by Perspective was replicated and applied to a symphony of sweet (but no too sweet) treats supplemented by a deliciously different cocktail menu. From "bread and butter" start to the "milk and cookies" finale and Chef Andrew's sometimes passionate, sometimes humble and sometimes almost embarrassed explanations it is a thoroughly enjoyable companion experience to Perspective. Our favourite was definitely the "Fruit Cake" but the Golden Gaytime, liquorice all-sorts, fruit soup, peach and Mushroom garden were all superbly executed and so very tasty. The Eucalyptus Room is a less challenging (as in challenging to expectations of just how good certain foods can taste) experience than Perspective because you just know it is going to be good. Both are comforting and welcoming and bring something truly special to Brisbane. A special mention should go to the service team, especially Monica and Hugo who we were lucky enough to interact with both times we have dined with the team. Monica is an absolute delight and has a real talent for engaging with diners and making them feel like instant friends. And she makes an excellent cocktail. I had a very tasty Cumquat Splice and my partner had a supremely tasty pineapple and elderflower drink that almost made me wish I didn't like cumqaut quite so much.
