Especially like the wine & food pairing menu. They perfect! Very delicious. Really enjoyed the smoke Mackerel rillette with cucumber sorbet. Looks lovely and I just started digging in & forgot to take pictures lol! Very enjoyable evening.
Probably our favourite date night restaurant. It's quaint and cozy. Food's amazing too. If you're lucky enough to get rose before it runs out, do so!!!!!
Went here for dinner on a Friday night with the partner before the recent renovations.
We ordered the olive oil and dukkah, sirloin and the special of the evening, which was a pasta dish. The sirloin was generous albeit a little over-cooked for our liking. The pasta dish was simple but cooked al dente. The Gerler wines were lovely and enjoyable.
Casual ambience with low lighting and an intimate feel with limited seating available. Reasonable prices. Friendly service.
Overall, a lovely concept. Feeling curious to return following the new renovations and try the chef's 'surprise' courses.
We had a wonderful dinner at Carl’s. Our waiter was well versed in the wine offerings, we went with an Italian red. I got the kangaroo rump and my partner got the mushroom risotto. We shared the crispy potatoes, which is a must. Great ambience, a lovely little neighborhood bistro. We will be returning!
One word to describe Carl’s Wine Bar and Bistro - perfection. 🤩 The food served was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. Desserts were interesting; the chef’s selection of magnums was a wonderful surprise. 😁 I have to say though, if I had to choose, the dish that brings absolute joy was the potatoes. 🤤🥰 They were insanely delicious. The best potatoes we ever had. Highly recommend foodies in Brisbane to check this bistro out. It’s Brisbane best kept secret! 🌻👍🏼
We had a wonderful experience at Carl's wine bar. The waitress Nikki was lovely, very knowledgeable and a great hostess. She paired our wines fabulously with our food. The food was lovely. Best I've experienced in Brisbane so far. Matt is a talented chef. We were the last ones in there and they didn't rush us out. The chef Matt and Nikki came and sat with us for a chat at the end of the night and treated us to a few tastings of wine, chocolate mouse and some other delicious new dishes Matt had been working on. It was like being at a good friends house. Such a lovely night. Thank you 😊
I really like this place.
Great quality food.
Season and fresh.
Knowledgeable and honest staff.
Smellier who knows his business.
I wish the menu was rotated, but I've always had fun.
When I love the menu I'll stay for a full dinner. when it's ok, I'll have some wine and a snack.
Still a good time...
If they published the menu and it was purposeful, it would be a true destination.
It could easily be the best restaurant in Brisbane.
I was reluctant to give too much praise as if it gets too popular I will not be able to get in!! Hans and the team are fab. Great food and top wine and all at half the prices of other places with bigger names. I have been over 10 times and I cannot speak more highly of this intimate and high class Wine Bar and super menus. Hans is just great!!! 6 stars
Fantastic and unique wines, great food. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Wine recommendations were excellent. What a gem! We had a great night - thanks again. Highly recommend.
Great place to catch up with friends as it is very intimate. The scones were a bit too dense and we were expecting more than 1 prawn in the dish for the price but overall we enjoyed them . The wines we had as well were great! Will come back for sure. Thank You :)
“A perfect Mother’s Day experience” was my wife’s comment. “A warm friendly atmosphere, excellent table service and a view of the chef at work on a distinguished meal at a reasonable price.” And an interesting history associated with this splendid venue!
