Lutèce Bistro & Wine Bar - Brisbane

On a three month visit to Queensland and NewZealand we dined in many restaurants, many of which were much vaunted by food critics etc. Whilst The Grove in Auckland was extremely good and memorable(with a price tag to match) our visits to Medusa, situated in a local shopping area in Bardon, Brisbane, was, without doubt, one of the finest dining experiences we had. The decor is modern and smart, the views over the valley to the rear are wonderful, esp. at night (ask for a window table) and the service was impeccable, friendly and unobtrusive. However it is the food that proved to be the greatest, and most delightfully pleasant surprise. Contemporary Japanese cuisine is perhaps how it might be best defined but with that wonderfully Australian take that afforded us the most wonderful combinations, exquisite flavours and perfect presentation. There are many good restaurants in Brisbane but taking everything into account Medusa will give food lovers a really good and memorable experience at a Suburban price.

What a lovely place. Good French Food plenty of wine selections. Good traditional French Food. Beautiful out look

We had lunch for two at this restaurant. It was my first visit but it is an established favourite of my friend.The food was superb and the service friendly and attentive.The only problem was trying to stop the flow of Champagne!I will certainly be returning.

Just returned from birthday lunch. Lovely restaurant, nice position, great staff but be prepared. After seating us we were asked if the Birthday Girl would like a glass of champagne. We said yes of course. Had not had a chance to look at wine menu at this stage as we had just been seated and this was our mistake. $24 a glass for a 120 ml glass of champagne. I am sorry but this really did put a damper on the whole experience. I consider it a little rude the way this was done and the price....aarghhhh.
