Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Brisbane City

"Brainchild of Restaurateur Jonathan Barthelmess, the highly anticipated Brisbane venture GRECA brings a crystalline focus to great food and fun times to the Brisbane foodie scene. Nestled within the heritage Howard Smith Wharves precinct, GRECA provides an interactive dining experience in the midst of the city’s waterfront entertainment mecca. GRECA serves a contemporary take on the traditional Greek taverna (think Kalamata olives, grilled whole sardines, calamari, lamb ribs and Greek doughnuts) while the menu is focused around communal eating, Mediterranean style."

"A gorgeous Brisbane restaurant with views of the water like no other, Greca isn't just setting a supreme dining scene. Join this seafood favourite for Mediterranean cuisine as you enjoy chargrilled meat, swordwish and sardines aplenty."

"Ask any Brisbanite what they consider to be the best al fresco dining location in town, 9/10 of them will answer, ‘from the verandah of my mum and dad’s pre-war Queenslander’. Luckily, the folks at Balfour Kitchen have come up with the brilliant idea of situating their restaurant on the verandah of a gorgeous Queenslander in New Farm. So now mum can have the night off, but we can still enjoy outdoor dining in the best way possible."

The traditional and time-honoured methods used in this kitchen create the perfect harmony of flavours and textures every single time, most loved in their classic chocolate or pistachio and rose cake."

"Always doing things differently, Paddington Social serves up fresh Thai fare by night, and decadent pastries, coffee, breakfast and lunch by day. Their famous croissants (that take three days to make, BTW), come in an ever-changing array of flavours – we’ve seen yummies before like baklava, strawberry cheesecake and hot dog – and are always nabbed up hella quickly!. The hard part is choosing which croissant you want, the easy part is consuming it in three flakey bites."
