Libertine

The verdict

Libertine at The Barracks, from Brisbane restaurant prodigy Andrew Baturo, has been on the scene for just over 10 years, and they do fusion like nobody's business. In fact, they are one of Brisbane's only French-Vietnamese restaurants and they are on a serious mission to bring this refined cuisine to the masses.

Not only is Libertine a great date night option, but it's perfect for functions, with private dining areas and a menu that is just made to be shared (like Vietnamese food itself). The heritage-listed dining room, part of Brisbane's beautiful Barracks complex, is ornately decorated in a French Colonial, Bordello style. Their banquets, meanwhile, are legendary among inner-city circles, and ensure you'll leave stuffed to the brim after five to seven courses of flavoursome fare.
