Subscribe The Best Places to Eat in Brisbane: Your Suburb Guide
Sometimes a good meal (or progressive feast) starts with the right suburb. These are the best places to eat in Brisbane right now.
Whether you’re looking for ‘somewhere in the middle’ of a well-distributed friend group, or just fancy a wander before you choose your final destination, picking a suburb first and restaurant second is always a good shout. It means you can embark on a progressive evening with no reliance on one single venue. Sip pre-dinner drinks before moseying over to the main event and on to dessert, all without having to jump in the car or catch a train. If you like the sound of that and are ready for a foodie adventure, head to one of these culinary hubs aka the best places to eat in Brisbane right now.
Paddington
Paddington has a well-earned reputation as one of the best places to eat in Brisbane. Close to the city’s fringe, quaint cottages and leafy streets are drip with charm, and you’ll find cafes, bars, restaurants and bakeries on each bustling corner. With walkable streets, op shopping and boutiques to explore, there’s always a reason to wander around this suburb.
Try Remy’s for burgers, Grappino for Italian, and Yavanna for pub-style vegan fare.
Fortitude Valley
Fortitude Valley is Brisbane’s answer to Melbourne’s Fitzroy. On top of fashion, events and bustling bars, you’ll also uncover a slew of restaurants covering everything from refined Italian to top-tier Japanese. A wander through the precinct will take you past fine diners, late-night haunts and cheap and cheerful eateries. Be sure to pop your head into a bar or two whilst you’re here — Fortitude Valley is the nightlife capital of Brisbane after all!

It’s also home to iconic annual food festivals like the Paniyiri Greek Festival, and one of Brisbane’s most popular weekend markets for fresh produce, hot brekkies and rejuvenating juices.

Rosalie
Rosalie has a community-focused, charming appeal and is definitely one of Brisbane’s most family-friendly locations. But one of our favourite things about this little leafy ‘burb, is that it’s still conveniently close to Brisbane’s inner city areas, and it’s surrounded by tasty places to eat.
You’re right on the edge of Caxton Street and Milton, which are known for their abundance of eateries, but don’t forget about the businesses within Rosalie that are not to be missed. Combine dinner with date night by catching a flick at the Blue Room Cinebar, or nibble on a cheese platter at the Wine Experience bar.
Woolloongabba
An up-and-coming area that blends convenience, lifestyle and recreation with ease, Woolloongabba is one of our top picks for foodie-friendly suburbs.
Home to hidden bars, top-notch Italian eats and some seriously tasty Thai, Woolloongabba isn’t just a destination for a sports match. Some of our favourite venues to visit here are Sunsets Rooftop Bar, Coffee Supreme, 1889 Enoteca and Sasso Italiano.
South Brisbane
South Brisbane is easily one of the most vibrant parts of our river city and is the absolute best place to head for anyone seeking easy access to Brisbane’s arts and culture as well as some of the best restaurants.
Pop over to South Brisbane to taste your way around the globe, with a diverse range of cuisines, and endless date night opportunities.
