Balfour Kitchen

Top choice in Brisbane

Should you nosh in the dining room, on the verandah or among the frangipani in the courtyard? This polished cafe-restaurant creates a very Queensland conundrum. From breakfast to dinner, prepare to swoon over dishes like French toast croissant with roasted stone fruit, spices and crème fraiche and ocean trout with eggplant, lotus tea, pineapple, turmeric and macadamia. Book ahead.

After dinner, hit the intimate rooftop bar ( 6pm til late Wednesday to Sunday) for Story Bridge views and impeccable cocktails inspired by Queensland luminaries.
