we've been on a quest to try banquets around Brisbane and have visited about five different restaurants as of now. Pompette easily and with no doubt ranks at the very bottom of our list in terms of price/value. We had high expectations considering the establishment is rated 4.8, however the food was very disappointing. To start with, the baguette was HARD (every other establishment excelled here, serving fresh bread straight out of the oven, but not Pompettee).. that's a horrible start and it sets the mood for the rest of the dishes. We didn't taste a single dish that left an impression on us.. perhaps the salad dressing was good, but the remaining dishes were bland. The fish didn't taste like much, the steak didn't taste like much and overall just a disappointing experience. Very confused on how this establishment is so highly rated. We were happy with the service and ambience.. zero complains about the staff.. but the whole point of going to a restaurant is the food, and hopefully to taste something special. In that regard, Pompette ranks at the very bottom of our Brisbane banquet list.
Went here recently for my sister's birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We were in the (semi) private dining room. This place exceeded my expectations. We did the banquet which was excellent - all courses were delightful and i would order the banquet again. Please avoid nearby restaurant called 'Alloria' which was truely an expensive disaster. Great flavours and textures at Pompette. Excellent attention to detail. They were able to accommodate for our group's different deitary requirements including pescitarian and non-beef eating people. I highly recommened!! Usually places in great locations are over-rated but this place was a win. Cant wait to go back
Lunch special was nice. Like the fish dish the most. The texture was so tender. The steak was ok. The only thing that I didn’t like is the dessert which was too sweet and nothing special. The service was nice too. Overall, it was nice experience. Would love to try other menu next time.
My partner and I went on a French-inspired date in Brisbane CBD, so we went to Pompette. Place was beautiful. Service was good. And food was great! I easily fell in love with their Souple A l'Oignon. I loved it!!! Loved their bombe alaska dessert too! We went on Friday and saw they were busy, which was given since they’re in a prime location :) So I suggest making a booking ahead of time to make sure you get a table.
The photos of this restaurant alone were enough to make us curious. Some of the reviews regard this food as “nothing special” but we would say the complete opposite. We have traveled across Australia for a couple weeks now and this was easily our favorite dining experience. The host and our waiter Valentin created such a welcoming and fine dining experience. Trust their recommendations! We got the espresso martini, the Sauvignon blanc, and a non-alcoholic wine which were all superb. For our apps we had the le saumon, and the salade ceaser crab (which was the only thing we didn’t LOVE). For entrees we had the crevettes, the French onion soup, the escargot, and the soufflé au comte which were all divine. For our plate we decided on the steak au poivre which was easily one of the best steaks we have ever had. To finish things off we had the Black Forest chocolate moose and the crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was incredible, even better than what Ive had in France. Thank you Valentin and Pompette for such a memorable dining experience.
