Our Favourite Restaurants, Tell Us Yours

What is your favourite restaurant?

Going out for dinner is always a wonderful experience if you go to the right restaurant.

As someone who loves wonderful food and a great experience when dining, my favourite Brisbane restaurants in no particular order are:

  • Ecco Bistro in the city, this bistro run by Philip Johnson is always fantastic, we have been going for more than ten years and are always delighted.
  • Restaurant Rapide at Camp Hill, Sam and Annie do a great job, we feel like family when we go for dinner!
  • Arriva on Merthyr Road New Farm, great Italian, the best pizza I have had outside Italy. I also love their pastas, make sure you book early or you will miss out.
  • Montrachet. A wonderful French restaurant in Paddington with an amazing ambiance and great wine. If dinner is just for two, ask to sit at the bar.

In Melbourne, my favourite place to go is The Grill at Grossi Florentino. If I am in Melbourne, I will try and organise my schedule to allow time for a lunch here.

For an out of this world dining experience in Melbourne, you must go to Vue de monde, simply sublime. Expensive YES, one of the best restaurants in the world, YES. Save your dollars before you go and just go. Enough said.

Let us know your favourite restaurant, we are always looking out for something new to try.

Happy dining!

Importance of Fantastic Images for Your Website

Have you ever noticed how many websites have poor quality images throughout the website? So many websites could be improved with personalised, high quality images. Fantastic images encourage your website visitors to keep exploring your site and ultimately make contact with you.

I found a great article today by Nicky Jurd, Partner, cityofcairns.com. Nicky writes for a great site for small business called flying solo. In her article, Nicky discusses the importance of great photography for websites. She gives basic points on how to improve images for the average punter with a camera. Ultimately though, you get what you pay for and the images from a professional photographer will be the best. Comments received on the article echo Nicky's views on the need for great photos, they help make for a more effective web presence and successful marketing campaign.

Check out Nick's article here.

Food and Lifestyle Photography for Foodies





Do you and your loved ones share a love of food?

The language of food is communicated in many ways. It whispers a thousand words. It comforts, seduces, consoles, excites, communicates, loves, nourishes and celebrates. Above all, it binds us together.

A Day in the Life Images offers a unique product especially for food lovers.


Allow A Day in the Life Images photographers to capture your unique language of food, as you and your loved ones source ingredients from farmers markets and fine food stores, to create, plate up, and share a sumptuous meal. Your meal may be inspired by a treasured recipe from generations gone, or a family favourite that brings you together around the table.


Imagine images of couples sharing a tiny morsel, children licking bowls, Grandma making pastry, Dad pouring wine, brothers around the barbeque, Mum enjoying the aroma of fresh herbs, stirring, measuring, pouring, whipping...the list goes on. It can be anything you want it to be. Remember, it is your language of food.

Your story will be presented in a beautiful fine art book, accompanied by sumptuous words, courtesy of our resident writer Karen Reyment, who holds a Graduate Certificate in Food Writing. This will complete your story, which will be treasured, today, tomorrow, and always by generations to come.

Contact us now at A Day in the Life Images to discuss how we can capture your passion for food and good times.
