Where You Can Once Again Dine Out - South of the Brisbane River
With Queensland easing COVID-19 restrictions over the weekend, allowing restaurants and cafes to welcome back dine-in customers, dining out in Brisbane is once again possible. Though before you start celebrating, know that not every Brisbane eatery has decided to reopen their doors.
For many restaurants and cafes, particularly small businesses, the current rule which allows for only a maximum of ten people in a public venue at a time, simply does not make sense financially. Though there are many eateries which have reopened their doors to dine-in customers once again.
So, if you’re well and truly over takeaway-only feasts and keen to dine out, check out these Brisbane eateries listed South of the Brisbane River (find a list of eateries located North of the river here) which are welcoming back diners with open arms.
Note for the majority of restaurants and cafes listed bookings are required to be made ahead of time.
