Greenglass

Brisbane


Up a flight of stairs wedged between a discount chemist and a topless bar is this pared-back, loft-style favourite. Here, produce is king, translating into a French-inspired, Italian-accented menu that might offer crumbed, fried olives stuffed with cream cheese and capsicum or a classic Wagyu steak frites good enough for fastidious French palates. The enlightened wine list champions smaller producers.
