Out
Brisbane boasts the
kind of dining diversity you'd expect from this culturally
colourful city. The atmosphere is delightfully al fresco with an
emphasis on original menus focusing sharply on fresh, unfussy food
and wines with flair.
The Moreton Bay bugs and fresh tropical produce are still undying
favourites that sit comfortably on menus next to exotic asian
delights, simple Mediterranean meals and traditional European
fare.

choice of restaurant settings is unlimited. Watch the river
boats pass by while tantalising your tastebuds at any number
of the city's stylish waterfront restaurants and brasseries.
If you can't quite decide on what tempts your tastebuds,
head for Brisbane's inner-city precincts and peruse the
menus of dozens of top outdoor eateries. |
|
You'll
find traditional Italian cafes, fast and fun noodle bars,
all-day breakfast joints, wine bars and truly outstanding
brasseries.
