Otto Ristorante

Restaurant

This elegant Italian restaurant lives in the former Stokehouse Q site. It's a perfect fit – one of the city’s best restaurants deserves one of its best locations. Whether you're here for the main event or the more casual Otto Osteria, you're in for some superlative drinking and dining .

Bar Rosa

Restaurant

The team behind Julius and Beccofino has opened a wine bar devoted to small Italian plates and rotating pastas. But isn’t the kind of a wine bar with a bible of bottles – come for a concise selection that won’t make your head spin.

Chu the Phat

Restaurant

A 300-seater with the heart of a late-night market stall.

El Planta

Restaurant

A permanent home for some of the city's best vegan tacos, with slick wines, cocktails and Mexican beer to match.

Southside

Restaurant

Salt and pepper cuttlefish sangas, Moreton Bay bug char kway teow, fancy wines and spicy cocktails – all in a jaw-dropping three-storey space from the Rick Shores crew.

Hello Please

Restaurant

Hello Please opened back in 2016. But since moving to its permanent Fish Lane location, it's had a real swagger. The fit-out is sleek and bold in equal measure, offset by a sunny awning that garlands the exterior. On the food front, old favourites such as the crispy chicken ribs are joined by new dishes such as katsu eggplant bao and cacio e pepe udon.

Restaurant

A reimagined Hellenic taverna from the founder of Crust Gourmet Pizza.

Ramen Danbo

Restaurant

A contender for Brisbane's best ramen.

Ol’ School

Restaurant

Next-level fish and chips from the Hello Please team.
