Great service from the staff, so friendly and welcoming. Meals were AMAZING and didn’t take long to come out. They also added a cute chocolate writing saying ‘happy anniversary’. Will be recommending.

Amazing - the food was fantastic and kept surprising us with both the freshness and taste. The service was wonderful - very lovely people, who love their food and shared that joy with us. It was our anniversary and they made some wonderful touches to make it a very special evening - thank you!!

Went here for Friday date night dinner after making a successful reservation via Zomato.

We ordered bread as a starter, which comprised on warm toasted sliced baguette pieces with butter.

For entrees, we shared the 'blue cheese souffle', which was light and fluffy, although we hoped the blue cheese could have been a little more present/stronger for our liking.

For mains, we had the 'slow-cooked duck' and the 'eye fillet with pumpkin souffle' - both were flavourful and well-cooked, with homely flavours.

For desserts, we tried the 'raspberry souffle', which was lovely with the sharp raspberry flavours melding well with the smooth dark chocolate nd expresso sorbet. We also had the 'brioche donuts', of which we found the ginger syrup was a little too sweet and needed a little extra kick of ginger.

Limited wine-by-the-glass options, however there was a more extensive list for bottles available.

There was a bit of a wait between courses, however service was very attentive and friendly.
The exhaust-hood coming from the open kitchen is louder in the first room; would recommend a table in the second room. The ambience is a bit of a mix - date night, family night or catch up with friends all seem acceptable.
Prices are on the higher end, but comparable to similar French restaurants in the Brisbane area.

Overall, a lovely dinner experience serving classic, homely French cuisine.

Awesome unassuming find. Great French food. Lovely Tuesday evening atmosphere with friendly attentive staff, solid wine list and simply delicious food. All of our party of six were pleasantly surprised on the upside with words such as jewel and delicious being unanimous. We'll be back.

I have dined here on several occasions and each time I am blown away. The chef, Vanessa, is a mastermind and I am always tempted to lick the plate clean (which of course is super inappropriate in such a high end place). The restaurant is decorated to match the french food and the atmosphere is lovely. The new drinks list really does offer something for everyone, and if you give it a good shot, you’ll definitely find yourself leaving the place with a new favourite wine! It’s so nice to see a great place that is constantly adapting and keeping up with restaurant trends, but is still managing to keep its charm.

Fantastic food and service! My partner and I had an amazing dinner here, eye fillets and the brioche donuts and date pudding for desert. I haven't had food that good for a very long time! Amazing flavour combinations! Portions were perfect, though I was uncomfortably full because I couldn't help but eat it all!

RHUBARB RHUBARB has a few 'claim to fame’s' on this dine. Prices are ‘hard to swallow’, the wait times extraordinary (2 hours from arrival to exit for drinks, mains and desert) and heaters and coffee machines are broken. Yet, ’all is forgiven’, because the food overall is as fanatically fantastic as the rhubarb red surroundings and the ‘1920’s’ French music accompanying. Service is superbly polite and you are well attended to.
So the stars of the show? ‘Numero un’, the BELLY PORK. It’s delicate, delicious tones made for some of quality street’s sweetest meat. The soy candy was brilliantly bizarre, providing skillful sweet to the semi-dried tomato sour, although the silver beet was too salty. Coconut sauce completed the bill.
Onto the grass fed BEEF EYE FILLET. Full of finesse, the beef - ‘tender from sender’, was sublime in softness and cooked beautifully. The Jus was pleasant and garlic cheese croquettes supremely more-ish but the pumpkin soufflé was high on ‘sodium overload’. Me and partner saw this as a major negative on 2 very positive meals unafraid to ‘sell themselves’ or ‘wow us’.
As it was Mothers Day, how about dessert to soar over the ‘100 dollar mark’? Crazy talk and crazy money, but RHUBARB RHUBARB again aren’t afraid to put their 'money where their mouth is'. For this off menu dessert special special (PECAN PIE with caramel sauce, strawberries and homemade ice-cream) left us with smiles as big as the Bruce Highway.
Melting in your mouth, this is the taste that childhood memories are made of - divinely delicious rivers of caramel sauce splashing on warm, wonderful pie, pulsating with pecan nuts as strawberries blush and ice cream love melts your dessert heart. It’s as romantic as it is expensive, but worth it.
And coffee? The friendly staff promised to fix the machine (and they sure did.) Frustratingly, it wasn’t a bit hotter (it was a chilly night - my bad.) In terms of Latte love, it was super frothy, with nice milk and espresso that excelled. Good going! Also, the staff got us an outdoor heater (the night’s chill unlike Scotland, but more like Melbourne) and the first one didn’t work - by the time the second ‘beast’ arrived, we extra appreciated the efforts. Although eating outdoors was again frustrating - given I booked online a few days before.
RHUBARB RHUBARB does things impressively with some definitive ‘Wow’ moments. Reduced salt content on certain dish elements and improved waiting times are needed, however, to join this exquisite dining experience Credit to staff and Chef, but be cautious of the prices, and $6 'cakage charge'.

Heard about this renowned local French restaurant at Wooloowin for a long time and eventually arranged to have dinner there last night. Lay out with warm home feel, which is good for the festival celebration during Christmas. Opened kitchen was just located in front of our table so we can watch the chef's cooking while we were enjoying our dinner. Entrees started with Home-made pork & beef sausage and duck liver parfait. The former was slightly salty, however, it matched well with the tomato chutney and pickled cabbage (3.5/5). I loved the duck parfait, which was softer than other of the same kind that I tasted with very rich liver flavour (4.5/5). While we were waiting for the mains, friendly waitress brought us the palate cleanser - salty lime sorbet, which added marks. Mains of duck l'orange was well slow-cooked then pan-fried with crispy duck skin. Texture was soft and tasted was well balanced (4.5/5). The other main of Grass fed eye fillet was perfectly cooked in med-rare. Quality of the steak was above average. Loved the idea of serving the pumpkin souffle' and the cheese croquette, which upgrade the steak to the next level (4.5/5). Of course we would not miss to taste the peanut souffle', which was another surprise of the night. Not so sweet but the souffle' raised very high with strong peanut flavour - a good invention (5/5). Overall, I would say that this restaurant is a local gem, other foodies should not miss it.

Went here for dinner this week we found the service very good. Staff were friendly, attentive but no snobbery that can sometimes be found with fine dining. Croquettes were delicious, trout and rib eye were both nice. I would have liked to have seen more techniques used in the main meals. For example the side of mushroom ragu with the rib eye was simply five small cooked mushrooms.

My partner and I dined at Rhubarb Rhubarb last night & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  The food, service & ambience is amazing.  I recommend the ocean trout and the Apple tart Tatin.  Wonderful flavours and presentation - obviously lots of care taken and the chefs truly care about the food they are putting up.  This was our second dining experience here and it was as great as the first time - can't wait to go back.  Very keen also to try their breakfast menu.  Thanks Rhubarb Rhubarb for a lovely evening!

I went here for my dad's birthday and it is a lovely setting. The menu had no vegan options (I don't think many vegetarian ones either) but the chef made specifically for me a three-course vegan feed! All of the food was very nice. The chef obviously cares about his patrons and it was very lovely that he went out of the way to cater for dietary needs. The staff were lovely and attentive too. In the future, I would like to see a fixed vegan option on the menu for anyone who requires it, as some people may be a lactose-intolerant vegetarian and thus, can't dine here. Which is a shame, because it's a beautiful little restaurant.

Dreaming of the food days later. I never write reviews, but i feel compelled to tell anyone who will listen how bloody awesome this place is. The setting isnt wanky or stiff, its relaxed and funky. The staff couldn't do enough and the FOOD... OMG the food.... 10 of us had various mains and entrees and not one meal wasnt spectacular! we all eat out in Bris all the time but this one is a stand out for sure. We are all still raving days later. You dont mind spending the $20 on entrees and $36 on mains if its BYO... and its BYO anything you like which is a rareity these days.

Rhubarb Rhubarb is one of the most consistently great restaurants in Brisbane. Having organised two milestone family birthdays here over the past year they have always provided a memorable experience. The food and service are first class and our thanks to Josh for an amazing meal last night! Some establishments need the praise they deserve and this one has our highest!

Superb!!!. This was the most consistently wonderful restaurant I have ever been to. Everything my husband and I ordered was perfect. I had the lambs brains for entree and my husband had the rabbit pie. Both were delicious. For main course I ordered the Barramundi and my husband had the pork belly. The fish was cooked to perfection with crispy skin and the risotto was the best I have ever had. My husband's pork was amazing and the beans and potatoes we had as a side were beautiful. For desert we had the rhubarb crumble and the creme brulee. Yet again they were perfect. We could not fault a thing. On top of the food the service was great - the waiters were reading our minds with the topping up of our wine/water and the food was brought out exactly when we were ready for it. I honestly have not had a better experience with dining out and can't wait to go back!

This place is cute! Good fo.... This place is cute!
Good food, friendly service, you can take your own drinks & wine...
I had Toulouse sausage & duck cassoulet, my favourite! And my husband had a truffled risotto with barramundi.
Desserts were a good size which is important, I hate small stingy desserts. The rhubarb & strawberry crumble was relish and so was the berry creme brûlée...
I will def be going back!

We took friends after reading reviews of this restaurant without dining there ourselves which is always risky but we all loved it. The menu was fresh and interesting with all four of us enjoying our selection. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service of this restaurant.

Ticked all of the boxes.. This restaurant ticked all of the boxes for me:
Cosy and ambient (even with a group of twenty in the same room).
Food was amazing! We were a group of four so we managed to gather a fair amount off the menu and everything was excellent!
BYO gives you the option to take what you want.
Staff were great from the first phone call to the service all throughout the evening.

This is only restaurant for me that has ticked all of the boxes in Brisbane for awhile. I left happy and full without a big dent in the wallet.

Absolutely awesome. This place deserves a big pat on the back, the food is absolutely spectacular... that's right, food can be described like that. The perfectly paired flavours along with stunning presentation makes for an experience that every culinary infactuated freak will just love! The service was also very good, the attentiveness, the care shown to table, the fact that we got our food very quickly, we were never short for a drink, we were never forgotten when we sought our next course made for a great experience. This place also has a good serving of old world charm, from the decor, to the music playing in the background, to the fact that they open the door for you when you leave. The lighting is perfect and the seats are very, very comfortable. You are mad if you like good food, great service in a fantastic setting and don't try this place, you must go!!!

Great. I've dined here quite a few times but, not since the new owners had taken over. The quality is still fantastic. I had the special - duck a l'Orange. Truly delicious. Someone at my table had the Oxtail and declared it the best they'd ever had.

For desert, I had the creme brûlée which is just as good as I remember. A larger serve than at most restaurants.

We had a table outside on a reasonably cold night but, the gas heating was excellent a no one was cold. My only complaint is the pricing. Mains of around $35 at a suburban restaurant seems excessive however, the quality is certainly there.

I've never tried the combination of pork with apricot and I've not seen it around too much, but I have to wonder why, it was great! I'm sure it helped that the pork was sensational, with a cracking that was just stunning and wonderful flavoured pork flesh that wasn't overly fatty. I really liked that there was a heap of the apricot sauce, there was plenty for the whole of the pork belly, so each mouthful had some of the pork and apricot combo. I definitely thought this was one of the better tasting pork dishes I have had.
