    Harvey’s has become something of a Brisbane establishment. It has a reputation for consistent high quality food and excellent service provided by professional staff. Harveys offers good value for money in my view. My fuse and I dive there on a regular basis and are never disappointed. An excellent wine list is also a standout with a good selection of reasonably priced quality wines, beers and spirits. Breakfast is at Harveys is without doubt the best in town. PJ, the chef, makes the best scrambled eggs in Brisbane. Like Paris mash, these are Paris eggs. My favourite restaurant in Brisbane. Highly recommended.
