Returning for its fourth year, Dine BNE City is a month-long showcase of the dining delights available in the inner city. From longstanding institutions to plucky newcomers, interstate heavyweights to hometown heroes, more than 55 venues will come together for an incredible array of exclusive offers and special experiences running between June 1–30. With such a range of incredible talent on show, there’s something on to suit every palate and fill every plate.
The festivities kick off on May 31, as outdoor dining event Fireside fills grounds of St Stephen’s Cathedral with party tunes, exclusive eats, and custom cocktails and drinks to warm you from the inside out. This enchanting event will take you on a culinary journey of sensory indulgence, as you sip and sample your way through moreish morsels from Babylon, Settimo, Donna Chang, Walter’s Steakhouse and Wine Bar, and The Gresham Bar. Trust us when we say this is one fiery party you won’t want to miss – tickets are on sale now.
Explore the daytime dining opportunities in The City with the Let’s Do Lunch series, which includes the likes of an Ottoman’s Lunch at Babylon, house-made gnocchi or speedy seafood risotto at Alchemy’s Express Lunches, or one of Pneuma‘s ever-changing daily main courses served with a glass of wine (or two). As the sun sets and The City lights up the nights, you can partake in a series of set-menu sensations as part of Dine BNE City’s Supper Club. Enjoy charcoal-fired king prawns served with scampi caviar at European-inspired restaurant, bar and delicatessen The Wolf, indulge in a three-course Italian experience at Bar Pacino, or heighten your senses with a unique blindfolded dining and drinking experience at Santa Monica’s Dine in the Dark. If you’re feeling thirsty get ready for Bar Safari, where Brisbane’s best boozers will be shaking and stirring a stellar selection of lip-smacking libations. From Souvlaki and Sips at OPA Bar + Mezze to fresh oysters and Dom Perignon at Rothwell’s Bar & Grill, there’s more than enough to have you shouting “cheers!”.
There’s also Dine BNE City’s exciting spread of exclusive ticketed events – show-stopping experiences that demonstrate the dazzling heights of Brisbane’s dining scene. Snag yourself a spot at the likes of Madame Wu’s 6FT6 Wine and Patient Wolf Gin Cocktail Dinner, the Brisbane Quarter Progressive Dinner, or Walter’s Saturday Winter Roast. Celebrate International Sushi Day with dinner at the Boom Boom Room, raise a toast to Van Diemen vintages at Tillerman’s Tasmania & Tillerman Wine Dinner, or enjoy an urban rainforest soiree at Gather in the Garden.
