vaquero dining

delicious drinks, amazing food & great service made this celebratenightperfect, and one to remember.
was only my second time there and would highly recommend.

my most amazing dining experience in brisbane in a long while. went on a fridaynighta couple weeks ago, so found an hour wait for a table. we were easily accommodated at the bar, and decided to order there. great staff! amazing cocktails ! outstanding food! the hot smoked oysters, with white bloody mary and chilli watermelon, was an outstanding starter. hope to go back and try the the 'meringue snow man' ...as it looked amazing going out to other tables. sadly i could not fit dessert 😊

had a lovely dinner here with the husband lastnightand you know you're onto a gem if it's packed on a tuesday night! despite being only open for 3 months, they're frequented by lots of regulars. the service from the moment we arrived was impeccable especially after we asked to change tables. the food was just spot on and topped off by the knowledge of the waiter/host for the day (marco), we were nothing but impressed😉 we had the manchego custard, morcilla arancini sticks, sheeps brains (our fav) and lamb ribs. yuuummaayy!! we loved both their drinks and food menu cos it stood out and was different to what's being served in other restaurants. plus, everything was a shared-plate basis which we think is amazing..you just get to try more 😉well done, guys! keep up the good work and will be sure to visit again soon 😉

our vaquero dining experience was nothing short of stunning from start to finish. the decor strikes a balance between soft and rustic; it feels romantic and cosy. i loved the morcilla arancini; a contemporary take on the traditional arancini - delicious. we ordered the beef short rib and pork dish to share and both were exceptional. the wine list had great variety, with some interesting glasses from which to choose. the service was flawless; vaquero's staff are friendly, helpful, and know their stuff. thanks for a greatnight- we will be back!

vaquero is hands down the best new restaurant that i have been to in brisbane in 2016.

i snuck in here on an unassuming tuesdaynightat the suggestion of a friend with absolutely no idea as to what i was about enjoy, my expectations were low as we were in suburban brisbane afterall!

this, however, is a beautiful fine dining establishment, hidden by the guise of the euro style albion butchery at its facade on busy sandgate road. once you enter the restaurant through this secret door you are transported into a refined dining space, outdoor courtyard and bar that has old world charm and designer euro chic with a warm inviting and intriguing feel. i just know that i want to taste the whole menu!

the menu consists of delicate sharing platters for the table to share from starters, mains & deserts. i won't comment on how amazing each of the dishes were, i just recommend ordering an assortment matched with their plentiful & delicious wine list to enjoy with some great company.

i highly recommend searching out this amazing little secret in albion before it becomes a challenge to get in!
