Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Ipswich

"The highly popular Eleven Rooftop Bar has made way for the pop-up restaurant and rooftop bar Maya Mexican. Bright and stylish, the terrace comes with a lush setting where you can enjoy sublime views over Fortitude Valley and the CBD. Inspired by the Maya region of Mexico, the rooftop menu is packed with tasty small plates and larger dishes created by chef Leisa Smith, as well as a wide range of tequila, mezcal and Margaritas."

"Ride the elevator to the 11th floor and step out into a marble foyer, now you are at Eleven – a sophisticated bar and restaurant in the sky with uninterrupted views of Fortitude Valley and Brisbane City. This is a place to dress up for, so take note – collared shirts and leather shoes are a must."

"Muse over the chalkboard wine list deciding between two whites, two red and a rosé – all boutique, all Aussie - before sitting down to a knock-out Chinese dinner. Prawn and pork wontons, green beans with pork mince and half a duck is a great way to get you started. Happy Boy is always buzzing, hence why it's moving to a new digs (1 East Street, Fortitude Valley) very soon, but the original is still wok-frying in the meantime."

"Housed inside an airy space and featuring an outdoor deck, this Fortitude Valley eatery is a popular spot for drinks and dumplings before hitting the surrounding bars and clubs. They serve up regional Chinese dishes alongside classic crowd-pleasers like mapo tofu, roast duck pancakes, and crispy pork belly. The wine list focuses on small Australian producers, while beer lovers will find craft brews on offer, too."

"We dare say you’ll be a happy boy (or girl) after visiting this joint. (Sorry, that was too easy.) What isn’t easy are the dishes that Happy Boy whip up. Everything is cooked with the utmost care – from salt and pepper quail eggs to gong bao chicken, you will be presented with perfection."

"Facing the busy streets of Milton, Deer Duck Bistro invites you to quite the opposite – an experience of elegance and style. Inside, Deer Duck Bistro will not disappoint with their vintage decor and renowned modern degustation menu. Inviting guests with a twist of fine dining meals accompanied by well-thought out wine pairings to enhance the seasonal flavours presented ever so delightful."

"Opt for the delightful a la carte menu or go all out with the five-, six-, or nine-course vegetarian degustations at Deer Duck Bistro!. No matter which you run with, you can expect absolute flavour bombs like oil sand tacos with orange and fennel salad, wakame, Savoy cabbage, blueberry, guacamole, and Thai chilli sauce. This is just the veganning, Brisbane."

"Moodily lit with eclectic décor, 
Deer Duck Bistro’s menu is filled with 
modern European style dishes in 
a degustation experience. Hidden away in the suburb of Auchenflower it is well worth a visit."

"it seems like just yesterday that E'cco Bistro was a newcomer to the Brisbane dining scene, yet here we are 20 years later and it's still going strong. E'cco is a place where history and quality food combine for a venue that offers its own distinct ambience; despite being recently renovated at the end of 2014 with newly modern decor, the sense of antiquity and cosiness created by the building containing it remains the same. It's one of the more warm and romantic venues on this list as opposed to some of the more boisterous offerings and is thus a great choice for the likes of Valentine's Day or Mother's Day (score some free points with the important females in your lives, fellas)."

"It goes without saying that E’cco Bistro is one of the best restaurants in Brisbane. Its location may have changed but the essence of excellence that the place has always maintained hasn’t gone anywhere — in fact, it has only grown. The new and improved contemporary space reflects a progressive food offering of carefully considered vegetarian options like gorgonzola gnocchi topped with pine nuts and pea, spinach and fennel risotto, as well as perfectly charcoal- and wood-roasted dishes from the South American Scheer Parrilla grill."

"You can’t help but drool just thinking about it… Panko crumbed mac ‘n’ cheese, poached eggs, hollandaise, shallot crumb, and your choice of bacon, chorizo, salmon, or halloumi."

"The contemporary Australian menu at The Summit Restaurant & Bar makes the most of Queensland’s seasonal delights, and the view over the spread of Brisbane from the CBD to the bay is memorable."

"Another of the top Brisbane attractions for gin lovers has to be the Dutch Courage Officers’ Mess on Alfred Street in Fortitude Valley. A recently opened cocktail, gin, and tapas bar was inspired by the British colonial outposts of the late 19th century. This hidden gem provides a friendly alternative to the pulsating nightlife scene just a few blocks away."
