Mr Chester Wine Bistro

I don't know why it took me so long to review this place. I used to live next door to this bar, I would have long days at work and stumble home after, I would walk in Mr Chester asking for whatever they have in the kitchen.<br/ I never been disappointed. I always thought this place serves the best pasta in Brisbane. <br/ I went back today after nearly 7 months. <br/ To my surprise, Mr Chester does not only serve the best pasta, they also serve the best gnocchi in Brisbane! <br/ <br/

My friends and I went to Mr Chester on the weekend for lunch and ordered a cheese platter and prosciutto pizza to share. We also ordered a glass of wine based on the recommendation of the friendly staff and it was just what I was wanting. <br/ <br/ The pizza was delicious but I loved all the different things they added to the cheese platter. I can’t wait until we can visit again and try more of their wine and food. As well as order another of those cheese platters! <br/ <br/ There’s plenty of seating as well for large groups and it’s central right off the heart of the Valley.

So I have a friend who is a really big fan of wine bars. Over the last several months she had compiled a list of wine bars that she had wanted to try in Brisbane and asked me to join her on this venture. Intrigued, I agreed. First up on our hit list was Mr Chester which had opened a couple years back on Ann Street in Fortitude Valley. Taking a quick uber over after work, we were quite famished when we arrived.

Went here with the partner for a Friday night pre-dinner drink.We ordered wines, as well as the burrata and fresh sourdough. Deliciously light and creamy, the burrata was a good accompaniment to our wines and wetted our appetites for the rest of the evening.Friendly and efficient service. Casual ambience with assorted limited indoor seating. Reasonable prices.Overall, a good wine bar.

A great hand-picked wine selection which offers something for everyone. The knowledge and insight offered from behind the bar definitely adds to the experience. <br/ <br/ We were blown away by the food. Simple food with the best ingredients and an impossible amount of flavour. We had the Vegan Pizza, Steak Tartare and the Parmesan Fettuccine and we will order all of these again!<br/ <br/ These guys are passionate about what they do and it shows in the product and service.
