Utterly Chic Private Dining Rooms in Brisbane for Your Next Soiree

There’s nothing better than heading to a delicious restaurant with a group of your besties, whether it’s just to catch up, or to celebrate a special occasion. But, in a crowded restaurant with competing background noise, it can be tricky to enjoy that quality time reconnecting with friends. 

Many of Brisbane’s best restaurants boast private dining rooms that both elevate your experience and make it easier to gossip with the gang. 

So the next time it’s your turn to book the outing for the group chat, take a scroll through our guide to the best private dining rooms in Brisbane.

Azteca 

Azteca is one of our favourite openings of 2024, and they have everything you need to make for a memorable dining destination.

With a kitchen helmed by Chef Zac Sykes, diners can expect a Latin American atmosphere with Asian fusion dining, complete with polished interiors that transport you, with live greenery, semi-private dining pods and a secret private dining room, concealed behind a handcrafted Aztec wooden door. 

Your dining room comes with music that can be tuned up or toned down to your preference, and all you need to do to reserve the space is book in for one of the outstanding banquet meals. Vegan, vegetarian and pescetarian diets are easily catered to, making planning your night out a total breeze.

The Lex 

Dine in style at the 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.

The menu is loaded with modern Australian fare, spanning elevated snacks, top-quality Wagyu, fresh seafood and hearty vegetable dishes.

Towards the rear of the restaurant, running alongside the tall glass windows, you’ll find one of the most beautiful private dining rooms in Brisbane for your next special event.

Boom Boom Room

Head underground in Brisbane’s CBD and discover one of the best Japanese restaurants in town, Boom Boom Room! With an enviable Japanese whisky list, sip on some incredible spirits and cocktails while you dine on authentic sashimi and yakitori plates.

This inner-city restaurant is also the perfect place for events or group dinners, as you can book a private dining room in one of the old bank vaults for a unique night of top-tier food and drinks in an elegant setting.

The vaults seat eighteen guests, so if you need a touch more room, consider the Trumpet Room. Its stunning centrepiece Rex Table adds an opulent, old-world charm whilst seating 21 guests comfortably. 

Sitchu Tip: Vegan banquets are available for the plant-based pals in your party!

Donna Chang

With a nod to Sichuan flavours and authentic Cantonese dishes, Donna Chang is one of our favourite haunts for Asian fusion food. Modern Chinese dining meets inner-city elegance, in a glamorous setting housed within a heritage-listed building on George Street. 

Step upstairs, and you’ll discover possibly the most charming private dining room in Brisbane’s CBD. 

Donna Chang is the ideal spot for your next dinner date or night out with the girls, while you share plates of fresh seafood, dim sum and braised pork belly.

e'cco bistro

A true stalwart of the Brisbane dining scene, e’cco bistro is an award-winning and hatted restaurant. Helmed by renowned Brisbane legend, Philip Johnson, e’cco serves up unpretentious fare that focuses on simply made food, crafted from the best possible ingredients.

And when we say simple, please know that a meal here is anything but underwhelming. Feast on carefully plated seafood, Wagyu or vegetables, reimagined into inventive dishes that combine flavours in progressive (and delicious) ways.

When it comes to booking your private dining space, you can opt for a table for twelve with a curtain drawn for privacy, or the upstairs space which seats up to 35.
