There is a Japanese proverb that states "
luck is like having a rice dumpling fly into your mouth". The main point I take from this proverb is that dumplings are awesome, and being able to eat them whenever you want is luck incarnate. Well, they don't call Brisbane the lucky city for nothing my friends.
Okay, maybe no one calls Brisbane that, but they certainly will after they have been to
The Brunswick Social. This dumpling house meets cocktail bar is going to drag Brisbane out of the dumpling-less dark ages, and bring it into a new era of late night snacks that don't leave you feeling worse than you did before you thought it would be a good idea to eat.
There are a number of reasons why this place will be Brisbane's saviour. First, the dumplings. Second, the food is served until the wee hours of the morning - right when you really need dumplings. Third, you can have a cocktail with your dumplings. Fourth, did I mention the dumplings?
The menu includes dumplings of all varieties (pan-fried, steamed, pork, prawn, vegetarian) as well as a selection of other Asian deliciousness such as pork buns, spring rolls and shallot cakes.
The space itself is huge, decorated minimally, which creates a relaxed atmosphere. The bar is well-stocked and the ordering system means you can bunker down and order dumpling after dumpling for hours on end.
This is just the kind of 'cool' that Brisbane has been crying out for.
