Treat dad to a feast fit for a king - here’s where to celebrate Father’s Day lunch in Brisbane this year.
With Father’s Day quickly approaching, that means one thing, it’s time to treat Dad to a delicious feast! Whether you want a cool, casual setting or something a little fancier, there are plenty of places putting on a spread on Sunday 1st of September.
It can be hard work organising the whole family, but with the cool mix of events happening around the city, there’s an event on the calendar for every kind of dad.
We’ve scoped out a variety of fun feasts, from casual pub lunches to something a little fancier at one of Brisbane’s best bars and restaurants. Wherever you end up taking Dad, he’s guaranteed to have a lovely time. So without further ado, here are our top picks for Father’s Day lunch in Brisbane.
Victoria Park
Plan some quality time with pops this Father’s Day at Victoria Park! Make the day all about dad by booking a buffet breakfast in the Marquee, or opt for à la carte dining in the bistro, before taking to the green. The Bistro will be dishing up classics like wood-fired pizza, sirloin steak or confit duck leg.
If your dad is the competitive type, book in the fam for a game of putt-putt, or head to the driving range to hit some balls. There will also be a photo booth on site for some family snaps, a jumping castle and face painters for the little ones.

Plus, LiTO are pulling out all the stops to spoil dad – think a glass of Two Hands Shiraz, poured straight from the magnum at the table. Or, enjoy a Burleigh Big Head Zero Carb Lager, with a Burleigh-branded schooner glass to take home.
