Ever suffer from decision fatigue? With life seemingly demanding more than ever from each of us, sometimes having to make choices can be overwhelming.

And that’s where La Lune Wine Co’s “staff’s mystery wine choice” comes in.

Inside this cosy, rambunctious wine bar, tucked away in South Brisbane’s foodie alley Fish Lane, the charming, highly knowledgeable and solicitous team are here to help with the mental anguish of dealing with too many options and take you on a journey of discovery and great tastes.

Our tour guide for the night is co-owner Bailee Dewes, whose passion for vino and matching customers to the perfect drop is captivating, and would soon have even the most diehard control freak relinquishing all restraint to be part of the experience.

With the instructions only to bring us two glasses of wine: one a great riesling and the other, whatever she loves drinking right now, she returns with a clutch of bottles in each arm. With exuberance and unpretentious explanations that withhold any sommelier snobbery, we’re given tastes of each of our options.

Executive chef and co-owner with Dewes, Paul McGivern, has created a European- influenced, succinct, share-style menu, written as simply a collection of ingredients with Dewes and her team on hand to explain each dish and tempt diners with lavish detailed descriptions.

Yellowtail kingfish ($26) tastes like it’s been plucked straight from the ocean, cut thick for meatiness, and balanced by the punch of pickled kohlrabi, and the citrusy kick of jammy yuzu kosho, made by fermenting the Japanese fruit with chillies and salt.

Or there are the unmissable black lip mussels ($22), baked with nubs of pork and fennel sausage, a scattering of breadcrumbs and garlicky butter, which melts to form the must-drink sauce.

This is a menu of uncomplicated, familiar fare elevated with top-notch ingredients and deft technique; traits exemplified in the celeriac and kale risotto ($32) which arrives as a creamy puddle of delicately flavoured rice, stringy with melted comte cheese.

It’s the elegant foreword to the simply sensational, harissa-glazed roasted quail ($34). A bird far too often overcooked and dry due to its diminutive size, this version is moist and plumper than freshly-filled collagen lips.

While the wine-lined walls, timber accents and dark green-grey colour scheme almost demand you settle in for more vino, for those who must finish with a sweet, there’s a classic chocolate tart ($18). The cooling, cocoa-y centre is brought into harmony with a lively raspberry sorbet.

La Lune Wine Co is a quiet achiever in Brisbane’s dining scene, but with simple, sophisticated food and brilliant staff, the decision is clear, it’s a winner.
