If you’re a Southsider, we’ve got pretty big news for you.
Brisbane’s one-stop entertainment and foodie destination is getting a facelift this month. The best part? It’s bringing a delicious blend of flavours right to your doorstep ‘til late each and every night.
Westfield Carindale is revealing all the big (and tasty) changes to its dining lineup this month and we’ve got 7 (yes, 7) of our fave new and locally loved spots to make a beeline for this September.
Claw BBQ
Firstly, quick question. Do you want your kilo of prawns with lemon garlic butter or Louisiana hot sauce? Claw BBQ has set up shop in Westfield Carindale, meaning your seafood and ribs fix are much closer to home. And the best part? Every Tuesday you can dig into unlimited wings. Just because.
Expect full bellies and one helluva dining experience to end your future shopping trips.
Viet House
Some refer to pho, Vietnamese iced coffee and rice paper rolls as the holy trinity. And to them, we say you’re absolutely right. Viet House will be bringing the zesty, fresh flavours of Vietnam to Carindale later this month. We suggest having your pho friend on standby to try their broth ASAP for pho and yap.
Betty’s Burgers
Everybody loves good neighbours, and Betty’s Burgers is just about the best neighbour you can have. This month, Betty’s crew are moving into Carindale and bringing their stacked burgers and thick shakes with them. Prepare for smash burgers on pillowy milk buns and layered with oozy, melted cheese just at your doorstep.
Fun House
When was the last time you went to the arcade with your friends? We already know the answer was too long ago, so consider this your sign to reconnect with your inner child. While it may not be food, we couldn’t leave Fun House off the list. Stacked with classic and immersive arcade games and bowling for all ages, the team have been busy refreshing the space to reopen later this month—just in time for school holidays and late nights with friends.
Sandwich Studio
You know that feeling when you find the newest sando shop on TikTok, but it’s always a 30-minute drive away? Well, Southsiders rejoice because Westfield Carindale is bringing you just that—a new local sandwich shop to get your mitts around. Sandwich Studio have launched a menu packed full of Italian inspo—we’re talking indulgent slabs of Porchetta, creamy fresh mozzarella, summer-fresh basil and tomatoes sitting pretty between fresh-baked bread.
Sushi Jiro
No shopping trip is complete without a round of teriyaki chicken rolls and a bottle of grape Ramune to go. The team at Sushi Jiro are entering the chat later this month, bringing their restaurant’s vibey atmosphere and styling to Westfield Carindale. Expect fresh, trip-to-Japan-worthy sushi dished up in the most fun sushi spot you’ll find. Grab a seat in front of their expert sushi chefs and order aburi and sashimi to your heart’s content. Bonus tip: these guys' poke bento boxes are worth the return trip shortly after in our opinion.
Yum Cha
Carindale locals will know and love Yum Cha. But don’t fear, the local haunt remains the same, but with a new and revitalised venue opening later this month. Our menu recommendations? Don’t skip the Cheung fun (sheets of paper-thin noodles wrapped around succulent bites of char sui pork) or the always famous custard egg tarts.
Now the only question is which spot will you pick first? Find the new foodie hub just outside Event Cinemas on level 1 with all the details on the new destination here.
