Dining Safe in the Suburbs

The BCC data reveals two different areas of concern, food poisoning incidents and general restaurant hygiene.  While it’s difficult to confirm the source of gastro, BCC audits Brisbane restaurants for food handling practices and commercial pest control standards, awarding each a star rating.    Look for highly rated Eat Safe restaurants to minimize your risk, and enjoy a good takeaway locally.
