Top choice in Brisbane
Brisbane's riverside take on the night food market feels like a gastronomic carnival, its village of shipping-containers-turned-kitchens peddling everything from freshly shucked oysters to Japanese yakisoba, South American grilled meats, American mac-and-cheese and Sicilian cannoli. Add craft brews, live tunes and a handful of quirky retailers and you have one of the city's most atmospheric nights out.
To get here, catch the CityCat ferry to Northshore Hamilton.
