Our first event of the revamped WNDC was a tad disappointing. After discovering our original choice was closed down, B decided on Kafe Meze. A Greek restaurant/cafe in South Brisbane, a neighbour of the Brisbane institution 3 Monkeys. A nice, bright, white interior greeted me, arriving slightly late. We had a table out on the back deck, which was nice, though bring a coat, potential for chilliness!
There was water on the table when i arrived, but no-one had any other drinks, whether they were offered or not, I can’t say, I suspect the offer hadn’t yet been forthcoming.
A moderate sized menu of all things Greek. The traditional offering of Dolmades, Haloumi, eggplant, dips with bread etc for starters followed by a large selection of souvlaki and salads for mains. The wine list consisted of a mix of both Greek and Australian offerings.
I have to say I was none to impressed when our meals arrived. $30 for a plate of iceberg and some souvlaki is a bit rich for my taste. The moussaka was flavourless, how one manages that with Lamb I’m not sure. Our buckets of wine arrived shortly before our meals – make sure you have plenty of time up your sleeve before you have to drive!! Which I suppose represents good value.
Some indulged in the Greek desserts but I chose to sit that one out.
I guess if you go with low expectations, you wont be disappointed.
