Chef Kym Machin has been making a mark in the food industry in Brisbane. He first appeared in the dining scene in 2012 opening Urbane and then Spring, then later on established another one in the west, Bare Bones Society in partnership with his wife, Jade. Now, in Corinda, his restaurant Same Same But Different turns a year old.
The name of his restaurant implies a subtle change from his first ever restaurant concept. It’s pretty much the same but they have done some changes on the food, taking it to another level.
The monochromatic establishment on Oxley Road catches the eye and shades of red balances the theme of the place. It is spacious and light that has indoor and outdoor seating.
They offer all-day breakfast such as the Morning Glory that consists of mandarin, camucamu and basil sorbet, aerated yoghurt, kefir jelly, acas and banana parfait.
You also have to try the Pablo Diablo with haloumi, potato, sour cream and hash cake, slow pulled roasted pork, avocado, shared corn and black bean salsa with spiced fried egg and green mole.
They also serve lunch. You can choose from delicious salads and hearty lunches that will fuel your energy throughout the day. Their poached free range chicken breast with pistachios, shaved fennel, ago, apple, celery, endive and organic apple cider is a must try!
They also have two signature house burgers – the Southern fried chicken burger and the Same Same beef burger.
The restaurant also offers kid’s meals, so there really is something for everyone here.
If you want to grab a cup of coffee, they source their coffee from Toby’s Estate. They also have a wide range of cold pressed juices, and other drinks that will keep you refreshed.
Of course, the place wouldn’t be complete without some delicious treats. Try their soft centered chock tart or apple tart tatin for that sweet kick!
