Food wasn’t up to standard and it wasn’t value for money. Portion size was small. I’ve been to this restaurant several times when it was at Gabba and it was great. I was hoping for the same quality and standard but it wasn’t. My friend and I were disappointed. I always support businesses and people I know. Sadly I won’t be going back! Sorry 😞

Tried the pop up Detour next to Happy Boy and Snack Man. One word - fantastic.
We had the Omnivore menu and all dishes were great. The vegetables were sensational in particular - the pumpkin was to die for.
But hard also to go past the brisket, emu tartare and KFD.
All dishes were great, the staff laid back, friendly and knowledgable. It was busy but not packed - can’t understand why there weren’t more people in there. Five courses for $88 - a steal!

Set menu is such great value and offers the opportunity to taste a number of dishes. The food is in a class of its own, Emu Tartare, KFD, Gun Powder Waygu, just to name a few.
The setting is very intimate with beautiful timber walls and subtle lighting. Service was outstanding.

We dined on a menu type of each and both left stuffed! An incredible amount of food for the price you pay, the wagyu was incredibly well cooked, however pumpkin and carrot stole the show and is a must try. Incredibly pleased with the wine knowledge and service from the staff as well. A must dine in Brisbane.
