The Continental Cafe Reviews

Food was enjoyable and the atmosphere was cosy. It's a busy little restaurant (amazing how all of the food comes from that tiny kitchen) so I recommend a reservation especially on a Saturday.
Some minor improvements on service would have meant a five.

In a word, disappointed. After years of this icon being our go to for family functions, afraid we will have to give it a miss in future. After waiting nearly two hours for mains, poor service (had to ask multiple times for drinks, pour our own wine and water, and ask to order food) our group of 14 left with excuses from the staff and chef that we should have had a set menu - "Saturday nights are busy". Shame no one told us that when we booked. And to charge $1.50 "cakeage" charge per person simply to use their plates after cutting and serving the cake ourselves - ridiculous! Very disappointing Continental Cafe - you have lost some very loyal customers tonight. Having said all that, the food was good, as always. Your service was what let you down - big time.

Amazing modern French cuisine. The food here is exceptional and something I'd likely pay four times the price for in Melbourne in a degustation. The staff were incredibly attentive and made for a romantic meal that was simply heaven on a plate. I would come again if in Brisbane.

Great dinner here tonight. Personable staff, interested owner / chef, and most importantly great food.

Fantastic food, casual but with a classy feel about the place. Seriously though, the food is to be experienced.
