The Summit
Love the idea of dining atop a mountain, but too time-poor for a road trip?
Perched atop Mount Coot-Tha, The Summit Restaurant boasts sweeping views of natural bushland and lush greenery, with clear views over the Brisbane City skyline and surrounding suburbs from its vantage point among nature.
“When you’re standing at The Summit, you can see for miles — from the city to the bay and out to the hinterland — and we wanted the menu to reflect that sense of scale and beauty.” – Chef Kym Machin
The heritage-listed venue has recently undergone a multi-million dollar refurbishment, introducing stunning tones of green and gold in a spacious indoor dining room, a chic bar, and a spacious verandah for fresh, alfresco dining.

Supernormal
Recently named in Conde Nast’s Best New Restaurants in the World hot list, Supernormal has officially made world-wide waves.Calling the iconic Queens Street riverfront precinct home, the waterfront views are a winner every time.
Whilst the menu shares a lineage with the Melbourne flagship, offering appetisers, raw bar, dumplings and large share dishes, this Asian-influenced restaurant has adapted its menu to reflect local produce, and the interior design cues hint at the Queensland landscape and climate.

The Lex
Dine in style at the W Hotel’s signature restaurant, The Lex, which channels the energy of a New York City grill, but with all the sophistication and flair you’ve come to expect from the Marriott family.
When you’re not tucking into a Tomahawk steak or the most chic tater tot you’ve ever consumed, you can admire the sweeping views of Brisbane City and the river flowing by.
The W Hotel, 81 North Quay, Brisbane
Babylon
Babylon is a sprawling Middle Eastern-inspired restaurant and bar on the banks of the Brisbane River and is a natural addition to our list of Brisbane CBD restaurants with a view.
This riverside venue cascades down three levels, encompassing multiple bars, terraces, and vibrant dining spaces. The interiors are inspired by the once-thriving metropolis, as well as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Think abundant greenery and timber, juxtaposed against silky upholstery — sophisticated yet relaxed.
If you’d rather be closer to the water, book in at Babylon Gardens, the venue’s waterfront alfresco bar and a more casual dining spot for those seeking a CBD dining destination or a post-work drink.
