La Bella Italian Cafe - Pasta with prawns, Rump Steak with chips and salad - Cleveland, Brisbane Australia

I spotted a new Italian Cafe in Bloomfield Street, Cleveland and their specials board

$10 lunches including:

• Barramundi with chips and salad
• Pasta with king prawns
• Rump Steak with chips and salad

I should have chosen the Barramundi, being the healthy choice, but I was in the mood for pasta and prawns and I am SO glad I did! The pasta was cooked to perfection, the sauce to die for and the prawns cooked perfectly. It was an amazing meal and there wasn't a morsel left on my plate!

Hubby chose the Rump steak with chips and salad and was very pleased.  I had a bite or two and it was a very tender steak cooked perfectly medium-rare as requested. The chips were great. 

I also enjoyed a Mocha coffee which really hit the spot!

Cleveland Sands: New menu, Steak Sandwich

I saw a sign outside the Cleveland Sands hotel that said

New Chef
New Menu

I looked over the new snack bar menu. A lot of prices had gone up. No longer $7.95 and $8.95 meals. There was a greater range and some interesting menu items.

I decided to try the Steak Sandwich.

I thought it was more of a steak bun than sandwich but it was very tasty nonetheless. A nice tender piece of steak, salad and a nice sauce. Not bad at all. I hope to go back and try out more of the menu sometime soon.

Cleveland Sands Hotel, QLD - Three Course Tuesday

Three course Tuesday - Garlic bread, 250g Rump or a Schnitzel plus Dessert $19.95

When I saw the flyer for the three course meal for $19.95 I suggested to my hubby that we go there on pay day. It was a cold night and we felt like staying indoors under blankets but pushed ourselves out for our reward meal.  

We went up to the counter and ordered, then took our seats. 

[ Bistro seating ]

Fairly soon our garlic bread arrived. YUMM!

[ Garlic Bread ]

Delicious garlic bread started the meal. We had two pieces each and it was soft inside and crisp on the outside, just the way i like it. Very nice!

Then the highlight of the night - the 250g rump steak with bernaise sauce.

[ Steak with bernaise sauce, salad and chips ]

Philip's steak was cold when it arrived, so it was sent back and replaced with a steak that had steam pouring off it. He was very pleased and ate all but a mouthful, knowing he had dessert yet to come.

The dessert came out when we had finished our steak and the fruit cake was steamed and covered in custard, with a dollop of cream and  sprig of mint.

[ Dessert: half-eaten fruit cake with custard and cream ]

I'm not one for fruit cake but I ate most of mine. Phil did a little better. We left very full and sated after our three course meals.  Great value, especially for a carnivore like my husband.

Sunshine on the bay - $15 lunch meals

Feeling peckish at lunch time I suggested to my hubby that we take advantage of the $15 lunch meals at Sunshine on the Bay in Middle St, Cleveland. There is a long list of menu items and it is hard to decide.

After viewing the menu I settle on some Sunshine Penne ($15) and hubby chooses a Steak Sandwich ($15)

Sunshine Penne includes green prawn’s sautéed in a homemade 

basil pesto w/ penne pasta, topped w/ fresh parmesan.

[ Sunshine Penne $15 ]

Steak Sandwich – grilled fillet steak, caramelised onion and barbeque 

sauce toasted w/ white or wholemeal bread. Served with chips.

[ Steak sandwich and chips $15 ]

We both enjoyed our meals and look forward to our next visit, hopefully for a crab mornay - which sell out all too quickly. I love my seafood and crabmeat the most. *drool*

Hogs Breath Cafe, Raby Bay Cleveland - Steak with mushrooms, Chicken Ceasar Salad

One of the many restaurants at the Raby Bay Marina is the Hogs Breath Cafe, Cleveland.  

I just love the interiors with heavily automotive theme including cars, license plates, oil cans etc. There are frames on the wall with vintage newspaper and magazine items. Corrugated iron ceiling, lots of wood including wood tables and chairs. A comfortable environment with friendly service. 

I decided to purchase a Chicken Ceasar Salad. Crumbed chicken with lettuce, bacon, croutons, parmesan and Caesar dressing, wrapped in a flour tortilla and served with Hog Tail Fries.

[ Chicken Ceasar Salad ]

Hubby chose a rump steak with mushrooms, corn, carrots, broccoli and mashed potato. He always loves the steaks at Hogs Breath Cafe as they cook the steaks the way he asks for, medium rare.

Cleveland Sands Hotel - prawn salad; rump steak, chips and salad

Our local hotel in Cleveland is the Cleveland Sands Hotel. Located on the corner of Middle Street and Bloomfield Street, right next to the library and close to shopping centres, the train station and raby bay marina. 

Today I feel like ordering something from the bistro and settle on a prawn salad. A good serving of prawns (9) and a well dressed salad. Fresh, light and tasty. I'm more than happy.

Hubby loves his steak and was very happy with how tender and juicy it was. I had a taste - YUMM!

They also serve bar snacks in the public bar, all under $9.95
