A guide to dining in Brisbane...

Brisbane is quickly gaining a reputation as having some of the best small restaurants and cafes in Australia. Every month, new Brisbane restaurants open to try and capture the locals market. So as locals we’re pleased to list just a few of the lunch and dinner spots that we really think are worth a visit. After your morning with Hot Air Balloon Brisbane, we cant think of anything better than a long leisurely lunch, people watching before a lazy afternoon nap or maybe a spot of shopping in Queen Street Mall or the West End.
