Goldfinch

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and snacks—the CBD's Goldfinch does it all, and they do it from a stunning, greenery adorned space to boot. Located underneath the Pullman Brisbane King George Square, this relaxed eatery offers you the option to grab breakfast or a snack in their streetside cafe, or settle in for a leisurely long lunch or dinner in their restaurant. If it's the restaurant you're dining in, make sure you ask for a table in the glasshouse-like section enclosed completely in glass with vines dangling overhead—you won't feel like you're in the city at all. 

The menu covers all bases, from fluffy buttermilk pancakes and spiced shakshuka for breakfast through to share plates for lunch and dinner. Order up dishes like glazed pork belly with fennel slaw, charcuterie and Moroccan lamb backstrap with hummus and roasted baby carrots, plus a stonebaked pizza or two if you're extra hungry, and make sure you save room for strawberries and cream Eton mess for dessert. 

The cocktails, meanwhile, are internationally inspired, with a list that features the Ibiza, a blood orange mojito and the Marbella, a decadent Jaffa martini. If you want to keep the party going, head up to their sister venue, Sixteen Antlers Rooftop Bar, afterward.
