We sear the steak to your liking, before serving it with bread, salad, plenty of sauce and bottomless frites. Les Bubbles welcomes all, and as such, both vegetarian and pescatarian eaters will feel right at home. For any curious individuals, a change of scenery is available by wandering down a single flight of stairs.

    My father came up from Melbourne this week to visit and wanted to try Italian cuisine here. Out of all the Italian restaurants we decided on this place. First off, you know the restaurant has "old school" ettique when the head chef meets and greets customers at the front. Obviously runs a tight ship in the back-of-house. The ambiance is warm, cosy and inviting. The wine list is good with a decent selection, from entrees, antipasti to mains is all quality. In my opinion they should change up the ragu from mince to slow cooked beef cheek but nevertheless the experience was something my father wouldn't forget he had a wonderful night, the staff are courteous and lovely. We did go early in the week on a Tuesday night and it was busy. The noise level was more than you'd expect on a Tuesday but quite honestly you quickly get used to it on the simple fact everyone there is having a wonderful experience there. Anyway I'm just glad my father had a wonderful experience there and if he ever comes back to Brisbane I'd be sure to bring him back.

    We have eaten at Tai Tai many times now. It has always been very good and this time no exception. The food amazing, the staff were on point, friendly and funny, and our overall experience was A1. We took some friends that hadn’t eaten there before and they said, omg why haven’t we been here. Excellent as always Tai Tai.
