The Balfour Kitchen & Bar

Such a lovely spot in the leafy suburb of New Farm. A beautiful old Queenslander converted into a boutique hotel with this wonderful restaurant. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the menu is wonderful. Highly recommended

Great place. Fabulous atmosphere and the food is generous and delicious. The staff were attentive. You feel like you have found this very special place. Perfect Date Night/Special Birthday place.

Staff are wonderful

Fabulous service, excellent food, wonderful surrounds. Thank you for having us, we had a blissful stay with you and will definitely be back to visit when we are next in QLD .

Fantastic service

Below the standard and pleasure of past visits: the pork main course was over cooked and stringy, the rice "side" never eventuated. The two entrees were very pleasant though. Very slow service.

great ambience

Pleasant veranda setting on a lovingly restored old Queenslander. Delicious meals could be a little more substantial. Doesn't match the quantity of other Spicers restaurants we have visited.

Wonderful experience, and very tasty food

Head chef Nick Stapleton never fails to deliver innovative and delicious food. Staff are polite and attentive, venue is delightful on the verandah in the evening with the twinkling fairy lights in the garden below

My second dining experience was even better than my first. I will come back.

Always great meals here and the service is exceptional. A beautiful setting and can't wait for our next visit. Thanks again.

So many great things on the menu was a hard choice. Loved the place and the food

A beautiful restaurant, lots of ambience - great views from bar area looking back over the city. Staff very attentive - a great night

Fantastic food and service as usual. Modern French Vietnamese food that never ceases to impress

We had the 3 course tasting menu, but for us thought there were one or two too many vegetarian courses. Also not being a great fan of kale, having it served with two of the courses was not too our liking. The absence of beef in any course was surprising as was two pork dishes being provided. The scallops with chicken butter sauce and the panacotta were absolutely fantastic. The service was outstanding.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience. Wish parking was a bit easier.

Fabulous food, atmosphere and staff.

We chose the 2 course dinner at $85 each. The selection of small plates was extensive and reasonable value although two of the dishes were lacking flavour. The selection of large plates was really disappointing. One large plate serving was a skinny bit of roast pumpkin and three tiny cubes of tempeh - the other was at least a reasonable sized duck dish. The other 3 dishes were all off the sides menu including a bowl of steamed rice! Value for money was extremely poor. It also seemed strange that our waiter for the night seemed to clock off work before the mains and no-one was designated to finish the task.

Wasn’t clear on the website that the two course meal was actually everything on the menu in small bits, would have preferred to be able to order a starter and a main or main and dessert.
