"Flour & Chocolate Morningside proved so popular that they opened a second location in Northgate to feed their adoring customers. Serving up a wide selection of patisserie, breads and savoury baked goods, mouthwatering treats like cinnabuns and gonuts, as well as their new DIY baking packs to try at home, there’s something for everyone at Flour & Chocolate."

"Flour & Chocolate & apple crumble gonuts (their take on the cronut, we’re starting to lose track too). Each week brings new flavours with it, which means you could be biting into white chocolate pistachio, vanilla custard, or something completely different!. Rest assured, you won’t be disappointed."

"You know them for their brownies, but don’t forget the staples!. F+C’s croissants are the perfect ratio of soft:crispy, buttery:flaky, and frankly, we can’t get enough (though we do always pick up a brownie on our visit, too)."

"Tucked away in a historic brick bakehouse in Wilston, Crust & Co is a hidden Brisbane treasure. One of Brissy’s most celebrated bakeries, they’re known for their talented French and Italian staff. With a passion for creating high quality products and following traditional French artisan baking methods, this bakery is without doubt worth checking out."

"Le Bon Choix now bring French Renaissance-style sweets and savouries to four locations across Brisbane — Queen Street, Edward Street, Paddington and Racecourse Road. Silky macarons, glossy eclairs and a range of gateaux that would make Marie Antoinette proud steal the show on the menu. But it's not all about the sweet; the croque monsieur is pleasingly cheesy."

"Speaking of authentic French patisseries, Le Bon Choix is serving up some of the very best baked treats all across Brisbane. Open bright and early, Le Bon Choix will provide you with a top-notch croissant and cup coffee for breakfast (no judgment), morning tea or dessert, 7 days a week. Cue the croissant cravings."

"The city’s favourite French patisserie can be found on Edward and Queen streets (that’s right, there’s two). Le Bon Choix is in fact a good choice if you’re craving pastries, or maybe even a macaroon with your morning coffee. There’s also tarts and cakes and muffins, and the most delightful petit fours."

"General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of Allied forces in the South West Pacific, this museum focuses on Brisbane's role during World War II. It is a small but fascinating peek into a little known part of Australia's history when a million U.S. military personnel stopped over in Brisbane on their way to the front line. Opened in 2004, the MacArthur Museum has three main exhibits, respectively highlighting the war effort in Brisbane, the South-West Pacific campaign and General MacArthur himself. However, the museum is only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays."

"Few who pass the glass doors of MacArthur Chambers Hotel would know that it was from this building that General Douglas MacArthur directed the Allies in holding back the Japanese invasion."

"The commissariat store is the oldest habitable building in Queensland and considered as a heritage. The exhibitions in the building change from time to time, but everything focuses on the history of Queensland."

"One of the best Italian restaurants in Brisbane, Popolo Italian Kitchen and Bar focuses on creating an authentic Italian dining experience in the heart of South Brisbane. While drawing on the concepts of sharing and spending quality time together over meals, Popolo is all about food, family and friends. The specially designed share menu promotes local seasonal produce and high quality authentic ingredients – thereby delivering outstanding meals."

"You’ll be torn between getting lost in your date’s eyes and the sweeping city skyline views from your grassy spot out the front of Popolo as you tuck into one of their lush picnics. You could dine in the restaurant of course, but why would you when you could lounge on the grass, feeding each other cheesy balls (innuendo intended) of arancini, crispy calamari and freshly made pizzas."

"‘Persone’ translates from Italian to mean people, and at Persone, pleasing people is the name of the game. Great service, great food, and exceptional views, and it doesn’t hurt that Persone was voted as the best Italian restaurant in Queensland for 2020. You won’t want to miss out on this classic Italian dining experience."
