Brisbane’s fine dining scene

Here are my favourite fancy schmany spots in Brisbane!

Komeyui, Spring Hill

Komeyui is my mum and I’s absolute favourite fine dining spot in Brisbane.
You have to try the seasonal omakase. IT IS DIVINE.

Not tryna be dramatic or anything but .. Komeyui has ruined all high end Japanese restaurants for me… forever…
Pictured first is my favourite dish – the tuna sushi. It just melted in my mouth. My mum’s favourite dish is the oysters. I’ve also tried the al a carte which is great too!

SK Steak & Oyster, James Street

This was my favourite restaurant since it opened! As a family we usually go here for birthdays (although now Komeyui is a strong contender for mum and I). You can’t go wrong here! My favourites changes all the time, but currently its the Tuna with mayonnaise and capers as an entree, and the sweet corn agnolotti as a main.

Fat Cow, James Street

June, 2024
We tried out the new steakhouse, Fat Cow 

My brother knows his steak, so I decided that when I’m out to dinner with my brother this year I’m going to leave the ordering completely in his hands. And, so far, so good!

The food here was delicious, and we ate our way through a very very enjoyable steak. Here’s what we ordered (and I wouldn’t change a thing): As our entrees we opted for the artisan bread with moo jus and smoked butter, beef tartare, and chargrilled prawns. Three of us shared the absolutely delicious wagyu tasting experience (and there were left overs – yay!), dad ordered the lamb, and we had a side of mashed potatoes, fries, and mixed vegetables. Dessert was a chocolate tart and cheese cake.
Can confirm the leftover wagyu in warmed up turkish bread was super delicious the next day.

Stanley, Howard Smith Wharves

Took mum here for her birthday and we all absolutely loved it. One of my favourite Chinese restaurants. I can’t choose a favourite dish because they were all so good. I’d love to come here again for lunch or an early sunset dinner as there’s a nice view of the water.

Gemelli, James Street

We’ve been here many times with friends and family, and it never disappoints. Our go-to’s are the Margherita pizza and Gnocchi.

Adam reckons it’s the closest thing in Bris to authentic Italian pizza. Big call!
But he might be right. Especially since he said that right after his trip to Italy.

Sono, Portside Wharf

Another of my family’s faves. It’s just so. good. every. time. There sashimi platter is a must. We also love their spicy tuna sushi, duck, and dessert. And, as you can see we love there mocktails too!

Other restaurants I love

Same Same, Beccofino, and for a casual eat, Factory 51 for their Margherita and Gamberi pizzas.
