Embark on an epicurean adventure at the former power station with a large menu of mouth-watering meals inspired by local produce. Try the raspberry white chocolate pancakes or the pork belly omelette.

The dazzling river views and luxe dining vibes at Alchemy will boost your Insta feed. The menu includes awe-inducing plates like the goat ragu pappardelle. Here are some eateries besides The Brisbane Club that offer superior dining experience.

Alchemy

Alchemy is a low-key, comfortable pub with a small but inspired menu. It offers a wide variety of tap beer, wine, and cocktails in a cozy area. Located on the north end of 5th Avenue in Park Slope, the restaurant features dark wood and a refurbished antique bar. The food is excellent, but be prepared to pay a little more than the average neighborhood pub.

The restaurant’s name comes from the ancient art of turning base metals into gold. It also refers to any process of transformation or combination of elements that produces a new substance or effect. It’s an important part of science and history, and it’s still used today in many different ways.

The cuisine at Alchemy is modern Australian with French influences. The restaurant’s head chef Brad Jolly has several international accolades to his name, and the result is a delicious dining experience. The dining room is warm and inviting with a beautiful glass framed view of the river and Story Bridge. The service is top notch, and the desserts are to die for.

The menu at Alchemy is varied and includes items such as braised beef cheeks, filet americain, and medium steaks. There are also plenty of appetizers to choose from, such as pork spare ribs and Prince Edward Island mussels. For the sweet tooth, there are perfectly cooked souffles and puddings to enjoy with your beverage of choice.

Madame Wu

In a prime location on the Brisbane river, Madame Wu has stunning views of the city skyline and Story Bridge. Its sophisticated atmosphere and modern Asian fusion cuisine make it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or special occasion. The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, from appetizers to entrees. Guests can also enjoy cocktails and wine. The menu is divided into categories such as seafood, poultry, beef, and vegetables. The dishes are creatively infused with unique flavors and textures. The restaurant also serves a range of desserts, including macadamia and wattle seed cream and flourless chocolate cake with cassia ice cream.

Sylvia Wu opened her first restaurant, Madame Wu’s Garden, in 1959. She quickly became a celebrity, serving stars like Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow, and Elizabeth Taylor. Her restaurants were famous for their Peking duck and bird’s nest soup. She wrote cookbooks and appeared on television. She also threw herself into charity work. She was a tireless worker and had a strong work ethic. She died at the age of 106, and was survived by her two sons and numerous grandchildren.

Madame Wu features an assortment of share plates, banquets, and late-night dining on Friday and Saturday nights. The menu includes small plates such as fried taro cake with king brown mushrooms and miso mayonnaise, as well as mains like sticky Kilcoy beef with XO sauce. The restaurant also offers a selection of 150 wines in its walk-in cellar and a cocktail station that satiates after-work thirst.

Los Felix

In the heart of South City Square lies a rooftop oasis that encapsulates the true meaning of riverside dining. Designed to entertain and engage, Tillerman showcases premium local seafood crafted with Central European flavours alongside an impressive selection of cocktails and wine. Bring a date or group of friends and sit back on the couches in the astroturf garden while enjoying the vibey tunes and skyline vistas.

From the team behind The Maillard Project and Coffee Anthology, comes a breakfast hotspot that's bringing something a little different to Brisbane - a pastel paradise serving unique blends of brekkie goodness. From sweetcorn and chorizo fritters to mini bay lobster croissants, this one's definitely worth a visit.

Another newbie worth the trip to the CBD is Etna - an old-world style pizzeria and wine bar with luxe decor that's reminiscent of a European castle. Sip on a range of unique drops and indulge in dishes like the signature risotto All'onda with roasted pork, mushroom, mascarpone and truffle béchamel.

Taking inspiration from urban laneway culture, the latest addition to Howard Smith Wharves is Los Felix. Think fresh Australian produce with Coastal Pacific, Yucatan and Sonoran influences in plates made to be shared. The tight menu of soft corn tortilla tacos, sides and tostadas is paired with mezcals and tequilas, Mexican beers and refreshing frozen margaritas.

Allonda

Allonda, the newest incarnation of the lauded Euro-leaning restaurant and wine bar in Brisbane’s leafy suburb of Newstead, seats 90 and serves up food backed by a discerning selection of vino. The team behind Nota has brought a refined sense of style to this split-level space, transforming a laneway corner with a sleek vision of stone, pale wood and polished concrete.

The kitchen focuses on seafood and upscale Italian fare, with dishes like oven-roasted flathead served with burnt orange ghee and fried capers and a punchy chicken roulade with Roquefort, truffle, mushroom, pistachio and sugarloaf all up for grabs. Other highlights include a four-course fresh pasta menu that runs the gamut from risotto all’onda to rigatoni a la boscaiola and casarecce with beef ragu, plus table-filling showstoppers such as Margra lamb rump with smoked yoghurt and grilled Western Australian scampi.

Yanika, who steered Nota to two Glasses at the recent Wine List of the Year awards, brings a similar discerning eye to Allonda’s 150-bottle list that spans old and new world drops. A short list of cocktails and spirits, including plenty of top-shelf tequila and mezcal, rounds out the drinks offering.
