Paul McO'Smith III

Slightly bizarre. You go through the area to have your boarding pass checked and then you walk... back into the airport. Except you don't. The lounge is huge and feels like the main terminal with duty free shops, the lot. Find a nice seat, grab a champagne, and wait quite happily for your flight!

Summary: stunning steak. Go here.

A fabulous restaurant in quite an amazing building. Got in early on a Sunday lunch and sat outside. The wine list a fabulous array of Argentinean wine. We ended up with a tannat and eventually a Malbec. A surprisingly good price range. Anyway, the wine was excellent.

Food. Starters were some truly amazing little "bomboms" which were fat little sausages made of chopped pork and chorizo. The empanadas were made with slow cooked beef (see the pot in the pictures) and again excellent.

Then the main course. You're here for the steak. I am a great fan of less popular cuts. These guys have some properly aged skirt. Cooked perfectly. Delicious, incredibly beefy, and even better they were not afraid to add salt! Otherwise we had a medium rib, and a well done rib-eye. The latter was cooked perfectly, not the least bit dry.

Dessert was had but I was still having steak flashbacks. A fabulous lunch!

Love the roses. Lovely park. However the Moreton bay fig is a truly beautiful tree. It must be ancient. Worth going to the park just to see that single tree!

Temporary cruise terminal and mainly works quite well.
