One Fifty Ascot Bar & Eatery | Brisbane, AUSTRALIA


Saturday night - the rain had stopped, and the bar at One Fifty Ascot was packed with well-dressed punters ready to celebrate the night away. Once housing for a Brisbane culinary institution, this former Baguette location has been injected with new energy, and the space feels open and stylish but with a relaxed vibe.  

We were seated at the back of the restaurant which provided an excellent vantage point for people watching and drooling over plates of food being carried around by smartly dressed waitstaff. I started the night with The Last Bison ($18), made with Zubrowka vodka, peach schnapps, passionfruit, lemon & cloudy apple juice. It tasted as delicious as it sounds. The other travel bunnie and I shared some scallops ($22) for an entree. Served with carrot ginger puree,  shadows of blue ravioli, caramelised leeks, those delicate scallops were sweet and plump. Being a major scallop lover, I was in heaven and savoured every bite.  

As for the mains, the other travel bunnie decided to go for the filet mignon ($38), cooked medium rare and served with straw potato cake, tarragon butter and red wine jus. It was a solid option. I opted for the market fish ($37), being Coral Coast barramundi on the night. Served with ratatouille, fried potato dumpling and herb salsa, the fish was crispy-skinned and incredibly tender. The restaurant provides for the little munchers too with a dedicated kids menu that offers a nice selection of dishes. Minibun George thoroughly enjoyed a plate of wonderfully cooked fish and chips.

Dinner wouldn't be complete without dessert and One Fifty Ascot has a delightful selection of desserts, ranging from creme Catalanand cheesecake, to affogato. Given that the serving portions of our mains were generous, we decided to share a chocolate brownie ($15), which was rich and satisfying.

One Fifty Ascot is without a doubt an excellent addition to Racecourse Road's dining precinct, and with the introduction of their Lunch Club, I will definitely be a regular.
