"Quality Spanish cuisine is still something of a rarity in most cities throughout Australia, however Brisbane's Moda bucks that trend in solid fashion by providing all the essentials that a high-end dining experience requires done with passion and a high level of execution. With a menu that fluctuates between the best parts of a Spanish and French mix and boasting a lovely and subdued atmosphere, it's a wonderful little piece of simulated Europe right in the heart of the Brisbane CBD. This is an upmarket, classy spot that's a good choice of venues both for special occasions and for corporate lunches or meetings; one of the first things you'll notice about Moda is the atmosphere - it's a lovely and cosy spot with a pleasant ambience in its garden seating area where you'll often find Spanish guitar music being played to reinforce its Euro-centric influences."

"Boucher’s reputation may not be known among the inner-city connoisseurs, but to westside locals it’s a star. In a cosy dining room with intimate lighting and parquetry floors, seasoned chef Peter Carter serves up Gallic classics – think bouillabaisse, steak frites and chateaubriand – washed down by a French leaning wine list that ranges across regions and years. The location in pretty-as-a-picture Graceville accounts for the rest of the charm."
