Best dining options with a view - Brisbane

Everyone loves a view; it sells houses, books hotel rooms and gets bums on seats in restaurants. And with Brisbane’s nickname the “River City” you would have to assume we are spoilt for choice when it comes to dining with a view.

Besides it’s a crime to stay indoors during a Brisbane summer so why not get out and make the most of these venues, chug back a beer, sip on a cocktail and enjoy the uninterrupted views.

Brisbane’s dining scene has reached new heights in recent years - so where are the best restaurants with a view?

Here is a sample of some of the best river view dining selections that Brisbane has to offer:

• Byblos – Portside Wharf Hamilton
Modern Lebanese eastern flavours, impressive liquor collection and wharf side dining.

• Bavarian Bier Café
An oldie but a goodie. Prime location, Eagle St Pier with views overlooking the river (of course), the Story Bridge and the city – oh yeah good nosh too.

• The Jetty Oxford
Day or night this affordable dinning option offers riverside views, good food at great prices.

• The Cliffs Café
This place screams, “pick me I come with a view” breakfast, lunch and dinner view. They also have a sunset menu until 5pm (a must do for an early supper with wine).

• Bay Window
This little gem is in the Manly Harbor Village precinct with a raised veranda and uninterrupted views out to sea. Perfect for a bucket of prawns and a lovely glass of chardonnay.

These are just the tip of the iceberg. There are loads of riverside dining restaurants all just as amazing as each other; however what sets each of these restaurants apart is atmosphere, trendy types who visit these pleasant surrounds and obviously the food.

All of which you’re going to add to your list of places to visit and dine with a view.
