We had been meaning to visit this cafe on the river at Bulimba ever since it changed management. We eventually made it over the weekend & were pleasantly surprised. The menu is short & sweet delivering quality & super fresh tasty food. I had the avocado which came in a generous chunky portion on a sourdough with lots of herbs & salty feta which complimented the basils sweetness. Coffee also very good, nicely presented but needs a double shot if you prefer a good coffee hit

Set just above the water line at the end of Oxford Street (or the beginning technically), in Bulimba, is the wonderful iL MOLO Italian Kitchen & Bar. Thanks to our friends who are locals, we headed here for lunch, and were so pleased with the service, food and general location.
The place is bustling with lots of customers on a warm Sunday afternoon, and we are happy to secure a table outside. Thanks to our lovely young hostess, she extends the sunshade awning to provide a little more cover from the sun.
We decide to share starters and opt for an antipasti board, 2 serves of arancini (pumpkins, sage & goats cheese), crispy calamari with rocket and aioli, polenta fries with parmesan, spicy tomato sugo, and broccolini with whipped goats cheese & almonds. This left room for desserts, which was basically 4 affogatos and a shared bombolone - warm doughnuts, chocolate ganache & orange jelly. Keeping it short and sweet, the tapas were all very tasty & well presented, and the desserts were delicious, although perhaps the doughnuts weren’t quite the best we’ve had.
Drink choices were fine, and wine by the glass is available at 150/250ml options. Overall, a solid 4 or 4.5 out of 5.
Tried this little gem for brunch on the weekend and it was a pleasant experience , unfortunately the orientation of the restaurant doesn’t capitalize on the river views as much as it could but we had a good seat and had glimpses of the reo we and city cat terminal nearby
Ordered the arancini balls and the salt and pepper calamari and both were delicious
It’s a lively little place that can be a bit noisy and we should have utilized the carpark under the restaurant had we known
All in all quite good but was a little disappointed as I think we were charged more for the drink than the menu price and it was a little pricey in general but the service was good and the food tastey so you get what you pay for
