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!

    We have eaten at Tai Tai many times now. It has always been very good and this time no exception. The food amazing, the staff were on point, friendly and funny, and our overall experience was A1. We took some friends that hadn’t eaten there before and they said, omg why haven’t we been here. Excellent as always Tai Tai.

    Wonderful dinner experience for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. The service was outstanding and the food delicious. I love home made pasta and it is great to be able to have well made pasta in a restaurant. The octopus was tender, full of flavour and cooked in a sauce that was to die for. The prawn and ricotta cannoli were such a surprise and absolutely scrumptious. Such a shame we don’t live in Brisbane to dine here often but we will definitely be back on our next visit.

    This was our third visit to Sasso & thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Was quite busy for a Monday night but we were served in a timely manner & nothing was too much trouble. We have the Arancini balls - lovely & CRISP!! Followed by Rigatoni Amatriciana & Spaghetti Allo Scoglio followed by Tiramisu to share. Wines also lovely. We went for the Italian prossecco followed by a lovely Chianti. Will be back 🫶
