Syphon Coffee
May 1, 2012
Syphon coffee has arrived at Restaurant Two!
This type of coffee maker is also known as vacuum coffee, vac pot, siphon or syphon coffee maker, and was invented by Loeff of Berlin in the 1830s. Our Chef de Bar first worked with syphon coffee in early 2011. It’s popular in Japan, where vacuum coffeemakers outsell standard drip models.
The vacuum method ensures a top quality coffee by avoiding a number of common brewing pitfalls: sediment, exposure to metal or plastic, or burning the coffee oil by maintaining too high a temperature in the brewing process.
Restaurant Two stocks a number of different types of syphon coffee, including Australian Green Cauldron, the El Salvador cup of Excellence and Organico blend.
Riverfire 2012 at Restaurant Two
April 5, 2012
As a result of the date change of Riverfire from September the 8th to the 29th, we are in the unusual position of having a vacancy for the evening, as our regular group have decided to stick with their original booking at Restaurant Two on the 8th.
We’ve decided to keep the party atmosphere that makes Riverfire so special and take bookings for groups of 8 – 10.
Our Head Chef David Pugh is designing a set 3 course menu especially for the event, and revellers will be greeted with a glass of sparkling wine on arrival. Then it’s time to head across to the riverbank for the perfect view of the fireworks, before coming back to enjoy an amazing three course meal for just $110 per person.
To secure your table for Riverfire, get your friends together, and contact Jessica our events manager by email- jessica@restaurant2.com.au to lock your reservation in. A deposit will be required to confirm your booking.
We look forward to welcoming you for a great party!
Restaurant II Whisky list
April 4, 2012
At Restaurant Two we are lucky to have a fantastic barman, or “chef de bar”, James (Jimmy) Geary, who has revamped our whisky list to be one of the most comprehensive on the eastern seaboard. Jimmy has designed the new menu as a map, the first of its kind in Australia.
Jimmy built on our original whisky selection compiled by former head sommelier and manager, Peter Marchant, and designed the new whisky menu concept. Jimmy firmly believes that the origins age and price of whisky are not the sole factors in its consumer enjoyment, and in the end it comes down to personal taste.
Jimmy has spent the majority of his career working in Scotland and Ireland that included working several years at the Iconic Michelin Star ‘’Balmoral Hotel’’, Edinburgh. Jimmy is also a member of the Scottish Malt Whisky Appreciation Society and frequented the Edinburgh Whisky Heritage Centre (for a wee dram or two). During this time James grew a great respect for the amber liquor.
Jimmy has used his wealth of knowledge to create one of the most comprehensive Single Malt collections in the Brisbane restaurant scene, and to add a selection of new world Whisky’s from the USA, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand and Australia. One new addition to the collection is ‘’The Lark’’, Tasmania, which has been rapidly gaining fame in whisky connoisseurs’ circles, it has won numerous rewards, and we are pleased to add this to our collection.
Our whisky map is included in our menu section, please have a look for yourself! Jimmy is also available for group whisky tastings. Bookings essential on 3210 0600.
