Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Brisbane City

"Predominantly known for their gluten-free, baked not fried donuts, Nodo has a knack for turning out perfect flavour combinations to support your daily dose of sweetness. Sit down to a six pack of Iced VoVo, vegan wild chocolate orange, strawberry hazelnut, blueberry lemon cheesecake, raspberry and white chocolate, and pumpkin maple – which is the only six pack we’ll be seeing anytime soon…"

"Doing big ol’ boxes to take away or individuals to snack in, Nodo commits hard to their gluten-free premise. Making sure you get to #eatdonutsforbreakfast they do new batches daily, but will only have stock until sold out. Might have to beat an old lady with a stick to get then."

"Catering to families of all ages, Victoria Park Bistro at Victoria Park Golf Complex offers family friendly alfresco dining at their hilltop venue and stunning views of the city across the rolling green golf courses. With a kid-friendly menu featuring delicious wood-fired pizzas and dozens of other yummy options, kids can also enjoy the on-site playground that includes a wooden cubbyhouse and farm tractor, as well as access to Victoria Park’s weekend kids’ games area, including GIANT games and a jumping castle. Of course, Victoria Park’s awesome putt putt mini golf course is also a lot of fun to play 9 or 18 holes before or after your meal (we suggest splitting it, and doing 9 before and 9 after!)."

"Riverbar is a popular Eagle Street Pier venue that fills with a city crowd on weekday afternoons. Fridays are by far the busiest but go in the afternoon for drinks in the sun with the breeze. Snacks like crispy potato wedges, crumbed chicken tenders and salt and pepper calamari are all under $20."

"Set up camp at a riverfront picnic table, grab an order of burgers, pizza and share plates, a few cocktail jugs, and make a day of it. Until that 3pm board meeting, that is…"

"A traditional Vietnamese street breakfast, this comforting dish is packed with Vietnamese lemongrass pork sausage, mushroom, tomato and tamarind sauce with sourdough."

"It’s not surprising that Sofitel’s fine-dining restaurant receives rave reviews on TripAdvisor. While the price may seem hefty to some, at the buffet you get to enjoy a mouth-watering array of fresh seafood. Sea-breeze-infused batches of shucked oysters lay on fresh crushed ice, alongside plates of marinated mussels and cooked king prawns."

"Don’t forget to stop by the Thyme2 Restaurant for breathtaking views of the city. Enjoy the towering cityscape over Anzac Square while dining in for either breakfast, lunch or dinner. The venue also offers a breakfast buffet that shouldn’t be missed."

"This stylish new venue in Newstead is the bubbly bar to go to for weekend drinks. The luxe interior design features a gold chandelier, intimate archways and a dreamy pastel palette. 32A Chester Street, Newstead"

"The Three Blue Ducks has flown north to open its third venue at W Brisbane. The new addition by Chef and co-owner, Darren Robertson features a wood-fired oven, a rotisserie and charcoal pit and a cold seafood section showcasing Moreton Bay bugs, spanner crab and oysters. The menu also features well-known dishes such as the spanner crab scramble with green mango, bean shoot salad, house-made sriracha and cashews and the corn fritters with guacamole, fermented cabbage, jalapeno, herb salad, labneh and poached eggs."

"Plant-powered couples can dine among their people at Za Za Ta. Dressed to impress for a romantic rendezvous, this restaurant is a winner, winner felafel dinner. Chef Roy Ner’s flavoursome, dishes are a sight to behold (and a taste to delight), telling the story of his Tel Aviv upbringing."

"Encounter the exotic at ZA ZA TA on Ann Street in Fortitude Valley – a place where worlds and cultures collide amongst a sprawling, colonial backdrop and buzzing open kitchen. This Brisbane bar and ki..."

"If you like ice cream then it’s a sure bet you have tried Baskin & Robbins. It’s a household name in Australia and known for its massively wide range of flavours and add-ins/toppings. They also offer coffee frappes with real coffee and arguably the best icecream in the world, Chocolate Mousse Royale (just thank us later)."

"Its cabinets contain the most colourful of flavours with everything from rainbow sherbet to green tea along with all of the classics we know you love. Check out the flavour of the month for something unique and if it’s a special occasion, order one of its famous custom ice cream cakes."

"Brunch is always a good idea ☺️😋🙈#gelareaustralia #brunch #pancakes. So, you’re strolling down South Bank during a sweltering day and beginning to crave something cold and tasty. Well, if you’re near this Gelare, then pop in and order one of their delicious delicacies such as the Nutella Berry Sundae, Strawberry Fields Sorbet, a waffleshake, or a blended fruit smoothie."

"Little Stanley Street’s Gelare nails its ice cream offering and also boasts warm waffles and golden pancakes. If you’re new to the venue, we suggest you try the Coconut Alley non-dairy scoop to-go (you can enjoy it along the river at South Bank). Gelare has vegan options as well."

"Founded in Western Australia, Geláre‘s secret formula is like no other. They boast no artificial ingredients and real flavours. Most importantly, this deliciously smooth ice cream contains no air."

"Tucked away in a nook of Newmarket Village lives some of the city’s best brews. While owner Adam works on the hand-crafted gelato, co-owner Laura whips up a host of creative coffee fusions. Serving up your regular black, milky espresso, batch filter or cold brew, the basics are done and done well."

"One of our favourite spots on the northside, Allora Black is a must-try for gelato lovers!. We’re a little bit obsessed with their butterbings gelato sandwiches. Think: creamy, homemade gelato in the flavour of your choice, sandwiched between two deliciously crumbly chocolate cookies."
