Arc Dining

Brisbane


Reminiscent of a designer beach shack, Arc is the top dining option at Howard Smith Wharves. Floor-to-ceiling windows deliver smashing bridge-and-city views, a perfect match for Arc's beautifully executed menus. Local farmers, smaller producers and ingredients from an on-site kitchen garden are celebrated in dishes like albacore crudo with bush tomato and celeriac, or goose prosciutto with asparagus, peach and macadamia.

Wines lean towards organic, sustainable and minimal-intervention drops. Book ahead.
