Went back after some years and we all really enjoyed it. Four of us had a really great night. Loved the new updated dining rooms and the food was superb. Service was friendly and professional but not over fussy like it can be. Had good laughs with the manager who has a sense of humour. Special mention for the Beef and the Tasmanian Pinot. We will be back for the afternoon Tea
Friends and i went here as had been wanting to try since it reopened. What a great night it was. The dining area's are private really well spaced out. Eating good food and drinking good Wine while listening to Classical music made for such a memorable experience. I had the Duck which was gorgeous and bursting with flavor and everyone loved theirs. Only 2 of us had dessert due to having Appetisers, Entree and a Main course. Would highly recommend. We also had two bottles of the house Red wine which was very good quality.

Under new ownership and much better food.
Came here for dinner Friday night and had the best time.
Food: truffle bread starter was so good. I skipped entrees as I wanted to have room for dinner and dessert. I had the Salmon- it was delicious and flaky. The paper it was wrapped in looked delicious so I’m glad they gave scissors with a warning that the paper wasn’t edible. I would have eaten it otherwise. Had sides of potato and truffle vegetables. Partner had steak- didn’t hear much out of him except mmmm so good, mmm so delicious- he’s pretty happy to make it our local again. My partner had the dessert- I had wine so I can’t really remember- it was pretty and I was told that if it’s available next time, we are getting it again.
Drinks: great wine list, filled with wine you can’t just get at a BWS or first choice, and really well priced.
Service: warm and knowledgeable. Malcolm the owner is hilarious, we had good banter through the night. I would come back just for the service.
Ambience: candlelit romantic, a fireplace that was decorated with fairy lights. Clean toilets, even at the end of the night. They even brought out a rose when they found out we were having a belated Valentine’s Day.
Would I go back? Yes, I can’t wait to go back. Thanks for such a great evening.
Had heard a lot about this restaurant, which has recently reopened under new management and after a significant refurbishment. The menu has changed from previous reviews, now international, offering beautifully prepared and presented options across 4 courses. With 3 dining we were able to try a good selection of the dishes and were not disappointed. I thought my salmon was a standout but we also loved the lamb and the rissoto. Great selection of wines and other drinks complemented the meal. Service was spot on and the setting was comfortable but classy. We will definitely dine here again and bring our friends. Best small restaurant in the area.
Has had a big refurbishment recently. We absolutely loved our night out. Been coming here for years and are so pleased 2 Small Rooms is back

This week I scored a nice deal at dimmi for a dinner at two small rooms.
My booking was for 7 o'clock but I ended up finishing what I had to do earlier and decided to go there and see if it would be possible to have a table earlier than expected, once we arrived we were warmly welcome as if we were friends that hadn't seen each other in a long time and with no problems we were accommodated to a nice table in the middle of the restaurant.
Once we got the menus, there were so many interesting options that I was lost between all of them but I ended up deciding on the French onion soup, duck confit and for dessert, lemon pavlova roulade.
My partner went for the toast with garlic and herbs butter, crunchy farro risotto, and for main there weren't originally any vegan or vegetarian options but when we asked about it we were told that they could arrange something for sure and that she was only gonna check with the kitchen and let us know, when she came back we were given two options of gnocchi and my partner gladly settled for the truffled butter gnnochi and for dessert she asked for the espresso and red beans creme brulee.
The French onion soup was a small serve, but the taste was all I was expecting, a nice caramelisation and sweetness from the onions with some complex notes coming from the broth, not salty, not spice, just the balance and soft flavour you would expect from an onion soup. Would rate it a 4 out of 5.
The toast with garlic and herbs butter was a huge serve, way bigger than we were expecting. The bread was crunchy outside, soft in the middle with a nice buttery flavour but I think the serve is too big and you kinda get tired of it after a while since there is no dipping sauce or spread served together as a runaway. We enjoyed it but a smaller serve would have been better. I would rate it also a 4 out of 5.
The crunchy farro risotto was the dish that made us realise what we signed in for. It was just amazing. Many different mushrooms coming together in A lovely crunchy but chewy risotto. With deep and complex flavour this dish (I unfortunately didn't order a dish for this course so I was barely watching my partner eating) almost made we fight each other since she liked it so much that she barely gave me any of it. This one deserves a 5 out of 5.
The duck confit also was all I could have expected from it, the meat was falling apart while being really juice with some nice flavours coming from the seasoning without losing the flavour of the duck, the sides that came on the dish also served to enhance the flavour of the duck and at the same time cutting through its strong flavour. This one I would also rate a 5 out of 5.
The truffled butter gnocchi, I still don't believe how it wasn't on the main menu, this was easily the best dish we were served tonight while the waitress made us have the impression that it would be just something put together by the kitchen staff as a vegetarian option. The gnocchi was so fluffy like little pillows of heaven and the truffled butter had that earthy flavour but also the sweetness and fatness coming from the butter, eating it I recollected my childhood when I would go to my grandma's house and when arriving she would hug me and I would feel like the most special child in the world. This one of course gets a 5 out of 5.
The lemon pavlova roulade was a nice zesty dessert that removed all the greasy that was left in my mouth from the duck and the butter with its nice lemon and passionfruit flavours. The pavlova was nice and smooth but I got a feeling that it wasn't necessarily fresh (I might be wrong though). The passionfruit sorbet was so creamy that I wouldn't know it was a sorbet if the menu didn't say so. I would rate it a 4 out of 5.
Finally, the creme brulee, it had a nice crunchy sugar top and a subtle red bean flavour which made it really enjoyable, the espresso ice cream was also creamy and had a strong coffee flavour to it which was a nice escape from the sweetness of the creme brulee. This one also deserves a 4 out of 5.
Overall I almost feel bad by getting a discount from dimmi as this place definitely deserves the price they charge for their dishes. I am really happy that I got this deal otherwise I might have never found this place since it's kinda in the middle of nowhere (at least not in a place that I usually go or pass by). Thank you Two Small Rooms for an excellent dinner experience.
Took my parents there. Food was great. French but with a modern twist. We all enjoyed ourselves.
Staff was helpful but there was a large group that as well and that slowed down the service.
It's a nice cosy restaurant with a nice warm environment. Food was very tasty but too expensive. It's not worth the price. I didn't see anything special about it. I used a voucher for that. Might be different from when it's full price?
never heard about French and Korean food before. I think everyone definitely go this place to try them cause I was surprise at good balance of meal. I read crab tortellini is good here, and it does. We had lamb sandwich, beetroot cured salmon, angus sirloin steak. can't find any faulty. crepe suzette and cream brulee also very unique and delicious. only problem was too busy on Saturday but I will be back soon.
Simple yet elegant furnishings promise a classic French experience. The menu has options from terrine, escargot, duck, confit of salmon and pork belly to consider. Opting for the ravioli and slow cooked Emu Bourgignon., we found the Emu delicious benefiting from the long cooking in red wine, lentils and, tomato with sumac, mint and yogurt. The ravioli was fresh and flavorful. A range of wines (including French) are available by the glass and a large choice by the bottle from $45 upwards. If you BYO it should be special as it will cost you $15 for each. A brownie, rich and nicely presented, to finish. Worth a visit for that special occasion for fine French food.

Two Small Rooms is a wonderful little gem of a restaurant, located around the corner from the Toowong Private Hospital. I have dined here twice, once with a group of hospital executives in the tiny private back room, and once in the main dining room. The portions are not large, but the food is presented beautifully and has very good flavor. Wouldn't hesitate to return for a third time.
Really nice atmosphere and impeccable service last night when we visited for the first time. Every dish was cooked perfectly but the standouts were definitely the escargots, the scallop ceviche and the crab tortellini. The pasta that wrapped around the tender crab meat was thin and cooked nicely. The sauce that accompanied was creamy and definitely my favourite of the night. The emu I ordered for main was a bit tough to my liking but tasty nonetheless. Would return to try more of the menu.
Had a lovely dinner here with some friends the other night. Couldn't fault the food or the service. Duck leg was the best I've had.
Not sure if the owners have changed but the food did not at all look like what it did in the other pictures on this page. No wine was ordered however glasses were not removed until dessert. The taste was pleasant but not for its price. Would only go back if there was a buy one get one free offer.
Heard a lot about this restaurant and went with the 6 course degustation voucher of $99 for 2. Didn't disappoint at all. The degustation is a good way to sample their specialities. Fine dining standard, food beautifully presented, warm and welcoming service. Great with voucher deal but might be a bit expensive with their standard price.
First time back under the new owners. Very impressive food. Three of us had 12 different dishes all cooked beautifully, and all of us are fussy judges. One problem was smoke getting into the eating area from the kitchen. The waitress was new but very helpful and not over attentive and most importantly if she didn't know the answer she went off to get the answer rather than making it up.
Recommended.
Was there to have 6 course degustation. This restaurant was my dream restaurant when I was studying in university. It seems that there must be a lot changes with the new management. I found the dishes are acceptable with the price of voucher deal but not as what they showed as the original value. Can see the efforts from the chef, however, service is a little bit let down. Overall experience is not bad but will be under if I compare this restaurant with "Deer Duck Bistro" locating further down along Milton Road.
Romantic. Went for a romantic dinner and the whole evening was absolutely perfect. A beautiful crab totellini which I am always having here wiith a good quality of wine. Had 3 courses. Each dish looked like a piece of art and delicious. Well priced for what u get at a 5 star restaurant
The best experience. I dined last Saturday with my family for mom's birthday. It was fabulous. We had 4 courses which are pork shoulder croquettes, snail, duck breast, pork belly. I think crab totellini and pork belly are the best I've ever eaten. Amazing. I recommend here. Dessert was also just wow. Tasty and friendly staff there. Will back soon.
Diana. Art on a plate, each dish is intricate in it's design & the flavors blend in harmony. The service is professional, polite & unobtrusive. All our food was perfectly cooked & any whim we had was swiftly attended to. We like our fish cooked well & this was quickly fixed when we were told it was slightly under to preserve the moisture. This small eatery has a simple no frills interior, clean lines with a homely feel to it
Had a wonderful dinner here with my husband. We were greeted by James who let us choose our seats and then explained the menu. We tried the wagyu pastry and brie cheesboard for entrée. Mains were the eye fittet and fish of the day with shoe string fries. The chef also sent out a complimentary side of chunky smoked bacon with a tomato sauce. AMAZING! Dessert was the creme brulee and the frangipane tart. Cant recommend it highly enough. We will be back later in the year for my husbands birthday :)
Gorgeous meal. Dined here two weeks ago for my birthday. The food was sublime. For mains, we had the eye fillet which melted in our mouths. The combination of the buttermilk sauce with the potato gratin and silky meat was truly memorable. We ordered sides of fries (tasty seasoning), the cauliflower with blue cheese (to die for - even if you don't normally go for cauliflower), and a green salad (simple and fresh). The desserts were amazing. I was thinking about mine for days. I had the chocolate marquise with creme fraiche ice cream and poached peaches. The chocolate marquise had the most beautiful texture and wasn't too sweet with the tang of the creme fraiche icecream complementing it perfectly. My husband had the frangipane tart with condensed milk icecream and caramelised apple. Need I say more? The service was a little gauche but generally efficient. I would dine there again in a heartbeat.
Great restaurant with very attentive staff.

Small is Beautiful - 2 minute review. I was looking for somewhere to go to celebrate and catch up with an ex work colleague and freshly married couple (Sean & Sally) and to treat my missus (Nicola – we are not so freshly married!) a place that was perhaps not one of the usual suspects, quiet and relaxed.
For personal reasons I always prefer to hand over my hard earned cash to folks that are more akin to a small “family” concern rather than a medium to large sized business that perhaps don’t need my business so much and maybe feel they don’t have to try as hard. Anyhow, thanks to Mr Google I came across 2 Small Rooms, conveniently located in the western suburbs, easy to find and get to with local free parking on the side streets. Pictures and reviews looked inviting; it ticked all the boxes so we booked.
Inside very nicely done out, smart and contemporary with just enough of a hint of the classic features to remind you this is a fairly old building. Greeted and looked after all evening by a very friendly, attentive and poshly spoken James and his partner in crime Jasper; great timing with his service all evening and excellent menu knowledge and description of what we ordered and he presented us to eat – not that understood 90% of it as I’m no Masterchef. A good selection of entrees and mains, a few items on the menu were not available but they had been replaced by others, it didn’t matter we all chose want we fancied.
Entrees arrived promptly, can only speak for my slow cooked pork belly with lots of fancy stuff attached ... Mmmmm simply delightful, fingers crossed a taste of things to come. A relative short interlude and the mains arrived. Three out of the four of us went for the Eye fillet of Beef and marrow bone the fourth the pan fried onion gnocchi, roasted tomato, basil oil, tomato emulsion, buffalo mozzarella, gremolata, wilted spinach .....and a heap of other colourful looking stuff (again sorry, I’m no master chef!).
Now when it comes to a piece of meat an eye fillet I have to say is not my usual choice as for me it never looks like you are getting much. However, from now on I will have to remind myself sometimes it all about the quality and not the quantity. Again simply delightful, very well presented and for me cooked to perfection, a quality piece of beef, well complimented by some fancy potato stuff (truffle potato gratin – I have been reliably informed) and some tasty pumpkin coloured butter that thankfully for me did not contain pumpkin. Suffice to say we all polished our plates. To close the night we shared a couple of chocolate and caramel tarts, tea and coffee, just enough to fill any remaining gaps and send us home content without feeling we had been greedy.
We were last guests out (a bit like my old pub drinking days!) but by no means rushed to leave. In fact we closed the night with a look round the place (it’s a bit “Tardis” like and certainly a lot more than just the 2 small rooms suggested). We also had a friendly chat with James, who after what appeared to be a busy night was now relaxed and had lost some of his “poshness” but was still as polite and friendly as he (and others) had been all night. Turns out that James and the and 2SR team ( all the J’s , Jasper, Josh and Jade) had only been running the place for the last 5 weeks, having taken over from previous management. For me they have certainly started on the right foot, quality food and excellent service – please keep it up. I wish you all the best in business you deserve to do well and be a great success ......... but don’t lose the character of the place, the quality of food and service and become too big and unfriendly - small is beautiful and otherwise I may not be able to return !
Divine Dining. 2 Small rooms is re-opened and rejuvenated. What an absolute delight: The staff is attentive and charming, the ambience was perfect and the food is absolutely heavenly. The price of the food is so reasonable you will be blown away by the quality.
Will forever be a repeat customer!
What a delightful little gem! Every mouthful was sensational and I didn't want my plate to empty. The food, service and ambience was all so complimentary. Will I be back? Absolutely!
Atmosphere is a little ordinary but the food was exceptional. Also large range of wine and food with a very high standard of service. I can not fault any of their dishes in have tried. Can't wait to visit again to try more.
Keeping it simple by saying food is fantastic, customer service not so much...
Wonderful service, excellent meals. I have nothing to complain about. Wonderful!
Food was fantastic but terrible service. We ordered the degustation and like other restaurants that offer degustation, the waitstaff generally explain what the fancy names and elements are of each dish as they place it down in front of you. Not at this place. We were left guessing what each dish was! Full credit to the chefs but waitstaff need some serious training!
Great dining experience for even vegetarian. Just wanted to say thank you to this restaurant. We had a voucher for a 7 course meal which was a set menu. As my partner is a vegetarian I asked if they could arrange a special menu for her. They kindly accepted my request and prepared a beautiful meal for her. We had a great dining experience and could not ask more. I highly recommend this restaurant.
While the food at two small rooms has always been second to none, I grow increasingly tired of the abrupt, disinterested manner of the wait staff. Shame, as it offers a fine dining experience and atmosphere unrivalled in the local area. Improve the service, but don't change the food!!
Great food and great price. Well prepared food, about 20% overpriced, especially entrees. Cocktails $20 each - most places the going price is $15-16 per cocktail. This restaurant is one of Brisbane's best, however as with most restaurants in Brisbane it's overpriced compared to Melbourne or Sydney establishments. Also BYO is discouraged - $20 corkage per person.
Good Experience. Used a cudo voucher for a 3 course meal and signed book and the meal was lovely. My husband and I could not fault any of the food and the service was decent , not overly attentive but it was not pretentious and we were not ignored.
Will certainly go again.
Nice. Didn't know what expect at first. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is very intimate. Great place for a first date! Food was good but could be a little more adventurous.
One of my old favourite's that I visited recently for the first time in a while. Still the same great quality food - perfect amount of attention. I had the "Milly Hill Lamb Rump, Preserved Lemon Buckwheat, Persian Fetta, Snow Pea Tendril and Lamb Jus" and it was beautiful - the lemon buckwheat was surprisingly fantastic. One bad thing was they had no scallops on the menu! I had had some every time I had been there previously and missed them.
Beautiful dinner. Being at Two Small Rooms for the first time, we didn't know exactly what to expect. The location is very nice, decent and elegant. The service was excellent, very friendly and forlooking.
The dinner was excellent (fish of the day) with a good taste and nice setting.
A place worth coming back again.
Lovely lunch. We went to Two Small Rooms for lunch today to recover from a really bad lunch at Jaz restaurant Toowong a few days ago. What a contrast - and for only $5 pp extra for a two course lunch. Whereas Jaz clearly had no chef in the kitchen, everything in Two Small Rooms felt like it was prepared by an expert chef. Beautiful fresh salads and expertly balanced dressings. Freshly made sauces. Great ingredients. Impeccable service. One small criticism only was that the mushroom risotto, whilst it was beautifully flavoured, was a bit salty for us. But since we shared, this didn't matter too much. Will definitely go back.
I find it a pleasure to find a maitre'd prepared to discuss a menu, the varietal differences in both food products and wine regions. My meal of oysters, duck, cheese platter and affogato was a splendid experience. My birthday lunch guest (mother) and I elected to sit in the bay window to keep an eye out for vehicular intruders. Excellent French champagne by the glass was a treat and the meal cooked to perfection. I shall be returning as there is far more to explore in the wine menu.
Reliable and excellent. Two Small Rooms is my favourite place for excellent traditional french-inspired food. They serve a simple menu of complex food that most foodies would not be capable of producing in the comfort of their own Larousse Gastronomique-equipped home. The wines are reasonably priced and of very fine selection. It's the closest thing you'll find to a french provincial restaurant in Brisbane.
Just Delicious. Whilst the meal price is above average, it is worth paying for when the food is amazing. I always recommend Two Small Rooms to others. I would recommend dinner over lunch but the experience has always been a positive one.
Just brilliant. The Cavier was to die for and the lamb was tender and juicy. The trifle was a bit runny but hey, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
The second time I have eaten at this delightful neighbourhood eatery. Having just celebrated it's 20th year in operation, it is both refreshing to see an establishment not following the oft trod path of reinventing itself or following the lure of the big city bright lights. The food was exquisite, cooked to perfection. The wine list representing both domestic wines and a well selected international range. My particular choice, the rare as hen's teeth Rockford Black Shiraz.
Lovely intimate dining. Visited Two Small Rooms just before Christmas (no doubt one of their busiest times) the atmosphere is elegant and quiet. I've dined here several times and the food is always superb with a frequently changing menu that encourages diners to try something unusual. I note the prices are dearer than UrbanSpoon has them listed (more like mains in the $30-40 range) but it's well worth it.
The large bowl of earthy brown mushroom soup had a couple of grilled fennel sausage bits floating on the surface. The very strong mushroom flavour was simply delightful and while the texture was a little grainy for my liking, it in no way impacted the flavour of the soup.
Smoked Salmon, Avocado Salsa and Poached Egg...Peeps, this is delicious! The salmon was smoked really well. It smelled wonderful and the combo of the three was so good. Yum.
Recently held our wedding dinner (with 25 people) here with only a weeks notice to Two Small Rooms and they made it such a beautiful evening. The food was excellent, the staff were warm, attentive and friendly. There was a lot of attention to detail in terms of making the evening run smoothly, and making it feel like an intimate setting, such as how they arranged the tables so everyone could see each other, the lighting, the background music. In terms of the organisation of the event itself, the staff were very responsive and communicative.
It is an excellent establishment and I am excited to return for an anniversary dinner there in the future.
Fabulous experience. delicious food. lovely ambiance. professional staff.
We chose to celebrate our anniversary at Two Small Room after getting recommended by a colleague. We were not disappointed.
At first I was hesitant as I knew French cuisine is famous for their love of butter. Being diary intolerant that was a bit off putting. But I reached out to them and they were very accomodating to my special dietary needs. Two Small Rooms managed to specially design a menu entirely free from diary and that still truely tasted good.
for starters my partner had the olives and I, smoked salmon. Olives were warm, savoury and garlicky. Smoked salmon paired nicely with the fresh salad.
Main was confit duck and beef wellington.
My partner also enjoyed a decadent lavender and honey creme brûlée.
Definitely would recommend Two Small Rooms to others looking for good night out.
I had 6 courses for dinner.Excellent food and service . Also there is pretty two rooms with beautiful wines.
Best ever steak and cheese platter.
Thank you for all staff.
Last Saturday night we went to dinner at Two Small Rooms which turned out to be a very special night as I was proposed to and I said YES! The waitress was lovely and the Chef made the most delicious food. My fiancee had pre-ordered a beautiful bowl of roses which suited the ambiance of the gorgeous restaurant. I would highly recommend Two Small Rooms for a romantic dinner.
Gorgeous restaurant, very good service but most importantly beautiful food. I had the escargot for entree and the crispy skin quail for main followed by the lemon tart for dessert, all exquisite. The attention to detail is amazing, highly recommend for a quiet night out with excellent quality food and service. ❤️
Today I went to two small rooms with a group of my friends for a high tea to remember . A beautiful home made assortment of goodies and treats were served ,washed down with several cups of delicious tea followed by bubbles. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for something special . I will be dragging my partner along soon . Just yum !
