GOMA Bistro

Brisbane


The Gallery of Modern Art's casual, breezy bistro is a blissful spot for an energising coffee or, better still, a cooling vino. Tables face South Bank's lush riverside parkland and the city skyline, with roaming ibises and curious goannas offering free entertainment. While the locally sourced, globally inspired food menu sounds appealing, dishes don't always hit the mark, so consider eating elsewhere.
