Top choice in Brisbane
Sydney’s cult-status, produce-driven eatery has checked into Brisbane’s W hotel, complete with river views. Here, morning coconut chia pudding might come with honeycomb, while the in-house coal pit and wood-fired oven add complexity to dishes like fermented-chilli-glazed roast chicken with corn puree and pickled radicchio. While we love the al fresco balcony, traffic noise makes an indoor table more appealing. Book ahead.
Libations include local craft beers and wines on tap.
