Whisk and Ladle - Brisbane

This is a laid back, funky bar Rotating taps highlighting some of the best beer that Queensland has to offer.

You can count on The Scratch to meet your craft beer cravings, which is hard to find in Queensland.

I hosted a pub crawl and my friend suggested a visit to ScratchThe place is very chill and everyone is welcome.

Surprising good place- really lovely service and good, well cooked portions. They make a good hollandaise too- excuse the half eaten photo- I was too pleasantly surprised and got stuck in. I had poached eggs with salmon on sourdough- it was really good. Partners big breakfast looked really good and he was quite through the meal which is always a good sign.

I have mixed feelings about this place, I really have tried to enjoy their food, guess since they opened I have been there a few times trying different dishes to see if I could find something I like but until now I got no luck. Although I really enjoy their coffee and all of my friends do as well, the food is not even close to the coffee quality. Today we were looking for a late breakfast and after trying to go to Fromage the cow and being told they were already on lunch menu we decided to come back to whisk and ladle and have something to eat. Today again the coffee was excellent, we had a long black, a soy cappuccino and a flat white. The long black was as strong as I like it, the cappuccino was creamy and had a nice touch of chocolate. The flat white, I didn't try it but despite looking nice my friend said it was average. We also ordered corn and zucchini fritters, Thai beef salad and the beef teriyaki stir fry. The corn and zucchini fritters they looked more like pancakes than what you would expect from a fritter, with almost no zucchini to be seen and a lot of dough to it. Also, they were more soggy than crunchy and felt like they had been made before and just heated up on the microwave. The tomato relish that came along was okay and the poached eggs were a bit over to my liking. Would give it a 1.5/5. The Thai beef salad was so sweet I felt like I was having a dessert and not really lunch, I was expecting a bit more heat coming from it and maybe some acidity to break the sweetness but I didn't get it. I ended up not finishing the dish because I couldn't bare the sweetness anymore. The good thing is that there was a lot of veggies and it's quite a big serving for a lunch menu. Overall would give a maximum of 2 out of 5. The beef teriyaki stir fry, was probably the best dish we shared among the table. Was not oversweet, but my friend said it tasted more like a sweet and sour sauce than teriyaki sauce. Again, this was a huge serve for 1 person and I saw my friend pushing himself to finish his last bites. Maybe about 3/5 would be okay for it. The only thing that keeps me coming back to this coffee shop is their coffee and the hope that I can find something to eat while I enjoy my coffee.
