Little Big House

Brisbane


Celebrity chef Matt Moran is behind this upbeat, sprawling venue, a history-packed Queenslander with wrap-around verandah, lush foliage and festive festoon lighting. While the building may be old, the vibe is young and easy, with tropical retro cocktails, alcoholic slushies and shared punches on the drinks list. Booze-friendly bites range from chicken-parma spring rolls and jerk-spiced chicken wings to burgers (vegan burger available).
