Riverbar & Kitchen, Riparian Plaza, Eagle Street Pier, Brisbane CBD
February 11, 2015
Riverbar Kitchen, on the Promenade level of Riparian Plaza in Eagle St Pier precinct, giving you views of the Story Bridge, what a view.. I have always enjoyed waterfront views when it comes to dining and living, especially when the weather is nice and the sun isn't scorching on you like a laser beam. Owned by celebrity chef and restaurateur Matt Moran, you wouldn't doubt the food nor the interior and ambience.. Well, sometimes you would but I guess it depends on first impressions and location..

| Timber furnishings, white painted timber walls.. |

| Absolutely love this nautical atmosphere, with the draping thick ropes and hanging lights. |

| You do have to order at the counter, self service water up front too. |
Yes, it is a simple dish, but maybe I would have expected more of it or a nicer presentation for the price. I just felt as if I could just make my own sandwich and place it in a sandwich press and ta-da... here it is.. It would have been nicer maybe if the egg wasn't boiled, it might have been better if it was scrambled or maybe just a fried egg. I found that having boiled egg in a jaffle with bacon, didn't really blend in well. It just felt funny somehow..
It was quite a rather light dish, however I found it to filling near the end maybe after having 2.5 quarters of the quesadillas. The fillings were a nice combination between the mushroom, rosemary and fontina as the rosemary didn't have that strong taste and smell and the fontina, which is a type of cow milk's cheese originating from Italy is a hard cheese, the strong and the taste aren't as strong as your other cheese types as it has just a mild flavour, was present but it just didn't give me a kick in the dish..
