Mina

This summery Italian restaurant, with its white interiors, striped white and yellow umbrellas and stunning terrazzo bar, is straight out of the Amalfi Coast. A new venue from the team behind Lina Rooftop and Salt Meats Cheese, Mina Restaurant & Bar is a reimagining of Eterna, which shut its Fortitude Valley doors late last year, and designed to be more chilled and family friendly than its predecessor.

Along with a scrumptious menu of Italian eats like arancini, calamari fritti, fresh pastas and Eterna’s famous Bistecca Di Manzo (steak florentine) and Porchetta Romana (slow cooked pork belly), Mina’s massive wood-fired pizza oven means that traditional pizzas are also on the cards, with both rossi and bianche slices to choose from. As for the drinks, you can sip on a classic or signature cocktail, or choose from the lengthy wine list.
