2006 Casual air satisfies, by Laura Stead:

An article in the Northern News (Thursday 19th, January 2006) by Laura Stead provides a closeup on Cafe Conti, as a casual dining experience on Brisbane's northside. The article features a lovely photo of Louise Penfold, and Jeremy Schoch (manager and head chef respectively). Jeremy was kind enough to provide a 'chef's tip', stating:

"Experiment with flavours because you never know if you don't try. Don't be scared to try new things."

 

2005 Good Life review, by Alison Cotes:

A Wonderful Reward

"It's a question I'm frequently asked: Where can we go for a celebration lunch that offers more than just snacks but isn't a posh restaurant and won't break the budget?
My current favourite has to be Cafe Conti in Wilston, the latest incarnation in a series of excellent cafe/restaurants on the site -- remember Thierry Galichet's Medium Rare, and later John and Amanda Scott's Continental Cafe?
Lin and Graham Penfold are proudly carrying on this honourable heritage, and cater for everyone from the parents-with-prams brigade to people like us, who were celebrating our survival after a complex and stressful enterprise..."
