Brisbane Breakfast Spots to Try
"This is a new gelato experience and is quickly becoming a loca favourite. Its authentic approach to gelato has the full range of what you would expect from a traditional Italian gelateria – sorbet, espresso, gelato cakes and of course, fresh Italian gelato. You can even watch gelato being made and served from its open-plan kitchen."
"Cake and ice-cream are absolute necessities in time of need and in time of play and La Macelleria Gelateria has Brisbane covered during the coronavirus chaos. You can now order from Uber Eats and Deliveroo your go-to flavour of gelato, sorbet, shakes and cakes. Explore their menu and go on and treat yourself!"
"Pancake cravings always seem to hit after midnight and the pancake Manor has every option under the sun to satisfy the quintessential late-night food craving. Located conveniently in the Brisbane CBD in what was previously a church building, the restaurant offers the perfect mix of contemporary vibes and old school charm. They also offer gluten-free pancakes."
"An oldie but a goodie, The Pancake Manor has been serving up fun pancake treats – both sweet and savoury – since us parents were wee tackers. And they’re still magnificent. They’ve got a zillion different variations on the simple pancake – plus they cater for gluten-free and vegan requirements."
"In 1979, the former St Luke's Church of England on Charlotte St saw the light and embraced the one true deity of pancakes."
"Since taking out prize after prize for its dark chocolate gelato, Milani House of Gelato has cemented its place on any list of Brisbane’s best. Owner Yue Lin, who trained in Italy under a Master gelato chef, sources the best ingredients available, and hand-makes the gelato each and every morning. Keep it simple with a scoop, or go all-out with one of their decadent desserts, like Death By Chocolate, stacked with chocolate and vanilla gelato, chocolate chips, chocolate topping, whipped cream and… more chocolate."
"From a European getaway, to studying under a Master Gelato Chef at the University of Bologna to winning the Grand Champion Dairy Product in 2017 for their dark chocolate gelato. Since 2004, Milani House of Gelato in Brisbane’s Hamilton has exceeded and aced every aspect of the much beloved gelati. Using local fresh ingredients, Milani House of Gelato creates divine flavours each morning."
"Go there after dinner and you will be lucky to find a table – find yourself in this situation however, and you can always get a takehome tub."
"Just as the Nasir al-Musk Mosque gloriously hails in Shiraz, the Rose Room is bringing a blush pink wonderland infused with intricate elements to Brisbane. The new neo-Turkish cafe puts a modern twist on authentic dishes in their speciality baklava berry pancake stack, breakfast pide, Turkish Delight smoothie bowl, Rose Room signature thickshake and the Sultan’s Turkish breakfast. Alongside the funky food is Turkish coffee (duh), plus a range of speciality teas and fresh juices."
"This lady makes baking look like a fine art with her range of gorgeously designed macaroons. Every shade and flavour can be achieved with these custom-made sweet treats, perfect as wedding favours or for events…or you know, a Saturday afternoon."
"The perfect neighbourhood coffee spot, Brooks & Stain is a local favourite that epitomises the idea of good food and even better people. Whether you are dining in or taking away, they have a huge range of goodies, all prepared and cooked on site!. If you are someone who loves the classics, they serve up a tasty eggs benedict, or switch things up and have a try of their homemade breakfast quesadilla."
"Mediterranean arches, white stucco walls, orange and coral fabrics – this isn’t the Amalfi Coast, it’s a new rooftop bar in Everton Park. After several Euro holidays, Tetto owner Tim Johnson wanted to bring a slice of summer back home with him. There’s a breeziness here (sometimes literally – most of the bar is al fresco) which bleeds through to the food and drinks on offer."
"On the subject of Everton Plaza, Corbett & Claude’s neighbours simply cannot be left off the list. Tetto Rooftop Bar is inspired by the colours, culture and cuisine found along Italy’s coastline. With an alfresco dining setting, it’s the perfect place to spend aperitivo hour over a few Aperol Spritzes and a smorgasbord of Italian cured meats and cheeses."
"Arguably one of the most iconic restaurants in the Brisbane dining scene, Gerard’s Bistro is among the latest venues to hit the fashionable James Street precinct. It’s a little Middle Eastern and a little hipster, but most importantly, it’s visually spectacular. An elegant blend of fine lines, sharp angles and smooth finishes are combined with a menu inspired by Head Chef Ben Williamson’s sabbaticals from southern Europe to northern Africa with a unique Brissy twist."
"When Gerard’s Bistro blew into town it created a dust storm. It represented change by embracing the ideology of the new wave of Australian dining that pulled the double white tablecloths off tables but maintained that focus on great food and wine. The combination of Gerard’s smart, casual swagger and a Middle Eastern sentiment that weaves throughout the menu makes for quite the dining experience."
"Bringing the chic Eurpoean beach vibes to the Brisbane River, this over-water bar and restaurant is a must-do. Located at Howard Smith Wharves, Mr Pervical’s serves up summery cocktails alongside your favourite eats. The best seats are found on the outdoor deck, providing optimal river and city views from underneath the Story Bridge."
"A night out at the well-heeled Lychee Lounge in the West End offers the chance to relax in an exotic oriental styled lounge after ordering some truly inspired cocktails from what has to be one of the best drinks menus in Queensland. It’s the perfect blend of the magic east in the heart of the West End and possibly one of the few places outside Japan where you can drink at a samurai-inspired bar.

"XXXX Gold is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most iconic and popular beers, first introduced in 1924 and still today brewed in iconic Castlemaine Perkins Brewery in the inner-suburb of Milton in Brisbane. Given its notoriety and legendary status both in Australia and abroad it is no wonder that one of the most popular things to do in Brisbane is to book onto a XXXX brewery tour which takes you through the 140+ year history of Queensland’s most enigmatic brewery. You’ll learn all about this classic brew, their world-class brewing methods, ingredients and, obviously, how to pour the perfect XXXX."
