It was good but overpriced with nice friendly service. Located in Wooloowin, Rhubarb Rhubarb is a cosy venue serving french inspired food. We ate here on a Friday night. Brother Eatme Brisbane started with a marinated kingfish and chorizo salad finished with a paprkia aioli. The salad was generally tasty, however the fish was overcooked, Brother eat me brisbane noted that smokiness paprika aioli with the chorizo made the dish. Sister EatMe Brisbane, had a seared scallop salad, but was dissapointed with the serve, only 3 undersized scallops that were served cold. Our mains arrived in perfect time, the service here is friendly and accommodating. The cassoulet was the best dish of the night, rich and tasty. Tarragon chicken with gnocchi was the other dish. This was flavoursome, however the texture of gnocchi wasn't good.
In all rhubarb, rhubarb was a mixed dining experience, the meals weren't perfectly executed. It appears that for dishes like the cassoulet- they excel. Considering it's BYO, the prices of the dishes while on the expensive size are understandable, given how much you save on wine.

Little Larder is the little train that can! I normally visit Little Larder and eat breakfast. I'm totally devoted to the crispy polenta poached egg breakky. Those I know who go to Little Larder frequently have their staple dish too- like savoury mince (the way your nanna would make it) or baked beans (my close second favourite).As you could imagine, it was a big deal not to order breakfast this time. This is the beauty of Little Larder (New Farm) they have an all day breakfast menu and if you can manage to deny your favourite breaky treat, an equally enticing lunch menu.
Having heard their pies are to die for, I decided to get the chicken and mushroom pie. Little Larder has a selection of daily specials- so there were about 6 pie fillings to chose from. Service at little larder is perfect- efficient and friendly. After a short wait our meals arrived. The pie looked like a rustic piece of divinity. The filling was generously meat orientated and flavoursome. The pie could have done with a little more browning on top. However, the pastry was a great flavour, perfectly short and not too doughy.
Sister Eatmebrisbane, ordered her favourite- the baked beans. As always, they delivered. This is a wonderful thing about Little Larder, they do what they do, it's done well and it's consistently awesome. Consistency is lacking in so many Brisbane eating establishments. Too often eateries start out guns blazing and then rest on their laurels becoming mediocre.
Happily, this is not the case at Little Larder, it delivers every time. I have never left there disappointed, but always leave with a full tummy of yumminess! Good work guys!
