continental cafe

brilliant. i've eaten at continental cafe three times now and the experience never gets old. the service is unbelievably warm and eager to please and their decor befits the comforting, authentic and ultimately delicious food they serve. the menu has a very wide range and when you find yourself spoiled for choice, you can leave it to whoever's serving to recommend the perfect compliments of food and drink. i feel a fourth visit is just around the corner.

awesome, real food. this is what a real food is. try here you'd know it's better than aria, stoke house or any if those places call themselves 'fine food'. my favourite is chilli prawn pasta!! hands down the best in brisbane.

first time. came for dinner had a good night. meals were a good price and good size portions. unfortunately we were seeing a movie and couldn't have dessert. will be back, nice one.

fabulous. i have held a number of celebrations at the continental cafe and all of them have been such great experiences. great food and great service with some of the most helpful staff that i have ever encountered. we usually hire the function room and children are also beautifully catered for.

thanks heaps folks

oh my - fantastic!. my wife and i have lunch/dinner with 8 others every couple of months. we take turns to pick a restaurant. last saturday night we came here. it was the best time we've had so far. i always try and have the meal that no one has chosen and i always seem to pick the best. well this time i was wrong. not that mine wasn't fantastic but looking at all of the empty plates i think all the meals must have been the best!

i had the soy lime chicken breast in coconut risotto with steamed bok choi - sensational. everything was perfect, the meals, the service, the atmosphere and the price - very reasonable.

we will be back and i've already told so many people about it. i told the staff at the coffee shop i visit every morning and one of them booked for yesterday. i'll find out tomorrow if they liked it. i'm sure they will and as a result i bet my coffee will taste extra special tomorrow.

this is my very first review, so that says it all. i often wonder if staff go on these sites and give the reviews. rest assured these are well deserved compliments from one very satisfied customer. thank you for a wonderful experience.

i love this place. i live nearby and this is our old faithful; it's always open and food is always high quality. i've probably eaten here around 15 times and i can't think of a time i've been disappointed. goats cheese soufflé is a highlight, as is the chilli and line cuttlefish. highly recommended :)

consistently awesome food ! beau( ( owner ) always make you feel part of the family & i've never ever had one bad dish there & i've been going for nearly 15 years now . it's not overpriced & when it's super busy , they're always attentive ( no matter where you're sitting ) & the meals are never delayed & spot on ! that's what makes it an outstanding restaurant ...consistency, no matter what time of the day !

always good. can not fault this café. if having family or friends visit always take them there as i know it wont let me down. try the pate yum.

the most consistent place in brisbane. we have been going to continental for almost 20 years and have never had a bad meal. sometimes when we cant get in at many other places we swing by on the off chance and sometimes despite being packed they always manage to squeeze us in.
the portion sizes are generous and the prices are very good. service is always very professional and their signature dish, the chicken in soy with coconut risotto is truly to die for. we have probably spent thousands there over the years, including a number of private functions in one of the private rooms ( no extra charge) and it was worth every single cent.
if continental every *gasp* closes down, i'm not sure we would ever recover !

can't stop going back for seconds. my wife and i eat out 2-3 times a week. we go to places like il-centro, kingsley's, beccofino, restaurant two and sono, but we love going back to continental cafe.
the food is always great and the prices are so reasonable. it is hard to find a good meal under $30(sarah's comments added on july 31, must of had to many cones) these days and this place has all but one meal below that and the wine is very reasonable. you must have the sticky date with the butterscotch sauce. will be there again this weekend!

superb - flavourful food and intimate atmosphere. my friend had the pork and i had the turkey. both seasoned well and perfectly presented. well priced for the amazing service. will definitely come back.

i enjoyed dinner at the continental with my wife and daughter, the food was delicious, service and atmosphere impeccable. try the duck parpadelle.highly recommended.

consistently good. i've been going to continental for years and it's an old fave of mine. food is consistently good, great flavours, good sized portions, seasonal menu as well as the old continental classics. i love the way you often see multi-generations dining together. bustling, can be noisy when full. an institution!

as for the fries, let's just say we were coming up with innovative ways to decide on who was going to eat the last few! don’t be fooled by this french bistro’s dated exterior, inside you will find classic french food served by a friendly team.

ordinary food. food was ok but nothing very special. the restaurant was quite busy. i had cuttlefish and was a bit salty and steak looks like a pub meal. would need to improve the presentation of the food!
