"Critical review carves gap between Brisbane restaurants"
"Although Sydney's and Melbourne's glamorous dining scenes have dominated the Australian Gourmet Traveller 2010 Restaurant Guide, released last night, Paddington's Montrachet and Surfers Paradise's Absynthe were each awarded two coveted chef hats.
The unique modern-take on French cuisine at Absynthe in the Q1 Tower secured the restaurant 37th place on the Gourmet Traveller's Top Restaurant 100 list, while Montrachet ranked 47th.
This year Absynthe and Montrachet climbed four and two places respectively on the prestigious list, while their competition staggered behind."

The top 100 ( click to see the full list) Absynthe are #37
Top 10 by Region ( click to see full list) Absynthe are #1 for Qld Regional
The Stars ( click to see full list) Absynthe was awarded 2 Stars.
"Stars are awarded to restaurants which we have found to be genuinely and consistently exceptional in their food, wine and hospitality. We award only 100 star ratings, so some restaurants which have previously held stars may have been edged out by others lifting their game or by newcomers. The three-star rating labels a restaurant as one of Australia's great restaurants, the equal of the world's best, and a destination in itself. Two stars makes an establishment a superior dining experience in all respects, worthy of a detour. One star means there is an element of pizzazz as well as professionalism which raises an eatery beyond the everyday."
