Maude. A name now synonymous with fine wine and elegant tapas, she's the only person you need to know for romantic and intimate evenings in Coorparoo.Maude keeps it simple with a pared-back bistro setup that is all-white and effortlessly sophisticated in appearance. Save for the immense neon display of its name, the restaurant itself boasts very little in the way of decoration, preferring instead to enjoy life low and slow with great food and wine.The first thing you'll probably do here is order a glass of wine, Shiraz from New South Wales, malbec from Argentina and other rich reds from Tuscany. Expertly designed with the food very much in mind, you'll find that they complement each other perfectly. To pair with your wine is a small selection of European nibbles. Rich flavours come in the form of lamb sliders, whilst seafood gets a look-in with calamari. And are Italian tapas ever complete without arancini balls. The same goes for the lemon meringue, but you knew that already...
