Best French Bakery in Ipswich

"There’s a healthy alternative to doughnuts in the CBD and while the thought of that may put a bad taste in your mouth, we assure you the doughnuts will not. Nodo’s claim to fame is 100% gluten free (get it, no-dough), and ‘baked not fried’. Ok, so they’re practically round cakes with a hole in the middle, but they’re still delicious."

"Where: 1 Ella St, Newstead, 25 Samuel St, Camp Hill, 300 Elizabeth St, Brisbane City and Shop 65/114 Grey St, South Brisbane. Nodo Donuts take the guilt out of eating a doughnut, or two, or dozen?. They make Brisbane’s best gluten-free doughnuts."

"The snaking lines of locals come the weekend is a testament to Flour & Chocolate’s pulling power. Specialty sourdough comes in a number of variations, like caraway and rock salt, fruit and walnut, and chocolate from time to time, but there’s plenty of other baked goods to bask in, like focaccia, bagels, brownies and doughnuts. 4/621 Wynnum Rd, Morningside"

"Probably my favourite place in Brisbane to indulge in a tart, cake or other heavenly treats!. Flour & Chocolate, based in Morningside, serve up the most delicious and good-looking patisseries you’ve seen south of the equator. Not only does the food taste good, but Lachlan and his team of wonder-chefs are absolutely lovely too!"

"For those lucky enough to have travelled to France, a trip to Chouquette will bring back memories of the quickly adopted daily ritual of visiting Parisian patisseries and boulangeries. If you manage to step past the first counter displaying a mouth-watering array of reasonably priced petit cakes you’ll find a selection of pastries, fresh baked artisan bread and the all-mighty coffee machine. We recently crowned Choquette king of Brisbane’s best croissant, and rightly so."

"After making a name for themselves in New Farm, this traditional French bakery and patisserie opened a second outlet on Edward Street to the cheers of city workers and dwellers. It would be hard to find a more authentic croissant in town, with the team at Choquette making all their baked goodies from scratch, and with a whole lot of French love. J’adore is an understatement."

"This fine lady has a history but Christina Aguilera and Co have nothing to do with it. Formerly occupied by the National Bank (“NAB”) and later on by Rays Canary House and Bird Hospital, you’ll no longer find bank tellers or injured feathered friends on the premises (unless they’re dining next to you). Instead, you’ll find owners Howard and Sonja Searle lovingly serving hungry locals and keen brunchers."

"Basically a bunch of cool cats serving quality coffee, The Tiller is dedicated to educating keen beans when it comes to knowing the process from farm to cup, and their brews speak for themselves."

"Gallery of Modern Art, South Brisbane|© Fairfieldstation/WikiCommons. Opened in 2006 to complement the Queensland Art Gallery (QAG), the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) has quickly become one of the largest modern and contemporary art galleries in Australia, its reputation reaching far beyond the country’s borders. With highlights including works by Ai Weiwei, GOMA was inaugurated by the 5th Asia Pacific Triennial and has since offered a diverse range of temporary exhibitions (including Andy Warhol, Picasso and his collection, and Cai Guo-Qiang’s Falling Back to Earth), as well as a widening collection, featuring works by both international and Australian artists like Anish Kapoor, Yayoi Kusama, Martin Creed, Damien Hirst, William Robinson, Fiona Hall, Tracey Moffatt and Rosemary Laing."

"These two galleries at South Bank, jointly referred to as QAGOMA, form the centerpiece of Brisbane's cultural precinct. Holding more than 17,000 artworks by national and international artists, QAGOMA has a particular focus on contemporary Asian and Pacific art. Recent exhibitions include a collection of painted car hoods from a Western Desert community known as the Kayili artists and a selection of video art by Indigenous Australians."

"QAGOMA is also located in the Cultural Precinct of South Bank. It houses over 16 000 works of Modern Art. Entry to the Children’s Art Centre is free."

"Queensland's most important heritage building, this 1862 showpiece was designed by estimable government architect Charles Tiffin as a residence for Sir George Bowen, Queensland’s first governor. The lavish innards were restored in 2009 and the property now offers free podcast and one-hour guided tours; the latter must be booked in advance. The first floor houses the William Robinson Gallery, dedicated to the great Australian artist and home to an impressive collection of his paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture and ceramics."

"When Queensland separated from New South Wales in 1859, it needed a new building to house its independent government. Today, you can learn about colonial life in Queensland by taking a tour of this building, Old Government House, and its grounds, including the drawing room, storeroom, and servant's hall. The museum also has a variety of historical artifacts, as well as video and multimedia exhibits."

"Phytomer Le Spa is a luxury Brisbane day spa offering indulgent treatment packages that make a perfect gift. Balance your system and recover from stress with a massage and facial, with spa packages including grazing platters and even champagne!"

"Ask for the Aquarius Health & Medispa signature body wrap and you’ll be whisked away to a magical carefree place of serenity. It’s really that good. Mum can take her pick from hydrating and nourishing, or purifying and detoxifying."

"The Thai Foot Spa is also a popular spa in the mainland capital. Their therapists specialize in the promotion of a feeling of wellness that is achieved through an ancient inspired healing process. To be exact, this process is called Asian reflexology."

"Taking in both the corner location as well as the building next door, Famished on Frasers is always popular with parents and families. With the choice of indoor seating in the cafe or in a lovely room of the adjacent building or outdoor seating on the deck, we highly recommend booking for larger groups and reserving a room to yourselves. There’s a kids’ menu and a whole box of colouring supplies and activities to keep them occupied."
