Restaurant II - Brisbane

For the past number of years, this has been my favorite Brisbane restaurant. Not sure what the main reason is. Is it because we have been dining here for years? Have had some great dinners with great company? Enjoyed amazing French wines with great friends? Had great personal service? Have had some of the most divine meals? Or is it mainly because Chef David Pugh imports black truffles from France every February and serves up an amazing 8 course black truffle degustation menu. We fly up to Brisbane every year in Feb especially for this meal and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys good truffles.
