    We recently visited Black Hide Steak & Seafood as a family of six, including two children, and had a wonderful experience. Both the kids' menu and the adult menu were incredibly delicious. We ate Angus and Wagyu steaks. The interior was bright and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. The highlight of our meal was the steak with mushroom sauce, which was exceptionally tasty. Highly recommended for everyone including families!

    Amazing food and incredible service from everyone we encountered. We did the ‘let us decide’ with paired wines. The wait staff beautifully and proudly described each dish and recommended how to enjoy it best, along with outstanding explanations from our sommelier. I love having fun interactions and a bit of banter with wait staff, and Essa delivered 100%

    **Review for Moncherat, Bowen Hills, Brisbane** My husband and I recently dined at Moncherat and enjoyed their set menu, which was an absolute delight. The entire experience was not only a culinary journey but also a theatrical one, with each dish presented in an imaginative and engaging way. The staff were exceptionally attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect throughout the meal. The food itself was outstanding—each course was an explosion of exciting and perfectly balanced flavors that truly showcased the chef's creativity and skill. To top it off, parking was conveniently located nearby, making the visit hassle-free. Moncherat is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Brisbane. Highly recommended!
