David Pugh’s classical training in fine hotels in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom is reflected in his menus at the two Brisbane restaurants, Two Small Rooms and Restaurant Two, where he is supervising chef and partner with Michael Conran. Their association began in 1993 at Two Small Rooms in Toowong, established by Michael six years earlier. From this BYO corner shop they cater to a range of clients from suburban dwellers to overseas travellers looking for ‘something that is fairly Queensland ’. Restaurant Two, their city premises and three times the size of Two Small Rooms, was awarded three stars by the 2004 Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide and dubbed a ‘CBD icon’. Conran and Pugh have also collaborated to publish their recipes in Two Small Rooms and a Kitchen 1997.
