Gauge - Brisbane

Gauge , you never disappoint ! Some of the best food to be had without flying interstate , served casually with no fuss . The menu is understated enough that no one would guess the sophistication of the food ....

Excellent breakfast, excellent service. My one tiny quibble ease off a little on the Parmesan on the poached egg/crispy kale/almond creme on sourdough dish. It kind of walked all over the flavours of the other things. But it's a great dish, and I would order it again.

A wonderful experience ......something new, staff were fabulous, everything just a delight before Kinky Boots......Excellent day out would highly recommend

Well this place should be typical of the inner city small cafe but it 's not. It far surpasses anything I have experienced in a long time. The words 'unique ' and 'original ' are too often used to describe places that are not but the 'Gauge ' can truly adopt these terms. The menu is different and aspirational and the food is as well. The coffee (and yes tea) is exceptional and the staff are friendly, motivated and remember your favorite orders. The 'Gauge ' is the new benchmark for cafe culture in Brisbane.

I loved that I happened on this restaurant and was therefore able to enjoy being taken by surprise by the thoughtfulness of the menu, ingredients and how they were prepared. Elegant presentation, some culinary surprises who knew about watermelon radishes), attentive and genuine service all contributing to a memorable dining experience. I am a Melbourne foodie who loves being surprised by food discoveries. I love this place.
