Catalina Restaurant – Novotel Brisbane Airport-DFO

Enjoyed a Saturday breakfast here recently. The food is superb and for the shoppers out there it’s right next to DFO. Enjoy breakfast before heading off for a shopping spree, or shop first and finish here for an enjoyable lunch.

The setting is lovely, very relaxing. One side of the restaurant is mainly glass. Tables have plenty of room between. There is after all nothing worse than having to negotiate chair movements with your neighbour just to get in and out of your table.

For the gadget lover, there is a pancake machine, which, with the push of a button, will produce a freshly made pancakes. With a choice for breakfast of full or part buffet, or a la carte, the restaurant caters for everyone. Food choices include gluten free.

A full buffet will set you back $29 but is most definitely worth it. The food is fresher, full of variety – including the beverage selection of hot and cold drinks. I particularly enjoy the smoothie shots. Very tasty. A large choice of pastries and muffins, which I did not try, however they did look deliciously fresh.

Staff were friendly, helpful and cleared plates regularly. I would be keen to try a lunch or dinner here sometime.

Another big plus are the sparkling clean bathrooms.

For the early bird, this one opens at 5,30am and you do not need to be staying a the hotel to dine here.
