Brisbane

Food and Wine

Brisbane has made a name for itself in Australia for its inventive and imaginative cuisine. With its own particular style - a fusion of classic and modern thinking, influenced by the unique fresh produce of a sub-tropical climate - dining out in Brisbane is a delight.

The atmosphere is typically al fresco and easy going. There’s plenty of variety, as the cosmopolitan mixture of European and Asian cultures throughout the city has resulted in a highly diverse dining scene. At the heart of Brisbane’s cuisine are Moreton Bay bugs (seafood), a must for any visitor.

In the heart of the city you'll find cafes, fast and fun noodle bars, all-day breakfast cafes, wine bars and outstanding brasseries. Down by the river in the inner city, Eagle Street Pier is brimming with restaurants and eateries, and the views are unbeatable. Other popular inner-city precincts include the city centre, Queen Street Mall and South Bank.

Around the city there's a wide choice of dining precincts to explore. In Fortitude Valley, the pedestrian mall has a vibrant outdoor dining environment. Also home to Brisbane's Chinatown, there's a vast choice of restaurants and cafes featuring Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Malaysian cuisines. For a young and happening vibe, try Brunswick Street towards New Farm. Or for a up-market scene, check out Park Road in Milton, Brisbane's first café society hangout, or Racecourse Road in Ascot.

Paddington and Rosalie lie only a few minutes from the city and have several exciting and adventurous eateries and pubs. On the south side of the river, Boundary Road in West End is home to a culturally diverse mixture of menus, while Stones Corner has good coffee shops to visit in between shopping expeditions. Down by the bay, only a short drive from the city centre, Manly Harbour Village is an ideal destination for discovering the fresh seafood wonders of Moreton Bay, as are other bayside suburbs such as Redcliffe, Bribie Island, Shorncliffe, Sandgate and Cleveland to the south.
