Brisbane’s fresh foodie feasts with a twist

Vertigo

Having opened just last month, Vertigo is Brisbane’s first ever vertical restaurant. The elevated eatery sits four stories above the ground, overhanging the exterior of iconic Brisbane Powerhouse where guests don a safety harness before climbing into their seats, 17 metres above ground. The set menu by Brisbane Powerhouse’s Bar Alto is enjoyed by diners alongside epic views of the river and Brisbane city, before descending via the steps, or taking the ultimate leap over the side of the building via a secure dropline.

The only in-flight beer tasting experience in Australia, Straddie Brewing Co’s new BrewAIRY Tour mixes the beauty of Moreton Bay and North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) with craft beer. Departing from Brisbane, the private flight includes a carefully curated tasting of three Straddie Brewing Co. beers before landing at Dunwich, where beer enthusiasts spend more time tasting another tipple or two at Straddie Brewing Co., the island’s first and only brewery.

Taste of QAGOMA

Back on solid ground, culture vultures can stretch those legs and learn about Brisbane’s Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) from its early origins in the late 1800’s to the two architecturally celebrated galleries that stand today by booking the Taste of QAGOMA: Tour and Lunch Experience. The tour concludes with a belly-filling lunch overlooking the Brisbane River at GOMA Bistro. Originally slated as a pop-up dining experience GOMA’s new Farm-to-Table is extending its tenure, where a two and three course lunch champions locally sourced produce, Thursday through to Sunday.
