Spice Central Kitchen & Bar

Tucked away one street over from Fish Lane in the bottom of the South Bank Novotel, sits Spice Central Kitchen & Bar, one of Brisbane's best-kept secrets.  A central show kitchen is the hub of this polished to perfection fine dining experience where you can watch the world-class chefs at work.  Park up at the bar and get a cocktail from their expertly curated menu (the chilli coconut margarita is honestly God tier) and attempt the impossible feat of narrowing down your choice of main. 

The lush greenery around Spice Central Kitchen & Bar whisks you away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and entirely into dishes like tare-glazed twice-cooked pork belly with apple and radish slaw, crushed hazelnut and pork crackling or the grilled chicken breast with porcini mushroom potato pave, sautéed greens and red wine jus. The staff are straight-up wine experts, so not only are you bound to find a drop you like, but one that's expertly paired with your meal.
