Greca
Attention foodies: Brisbane’s favourite Greek restaurant, Greca, has reopened. Like yourself, we have also been craving their famed Oven Baked Lamb Shoulder ($43) that not only oozes with flavour, but, more importantly, it falls ever so effortlessly off the bone – just one of our favourites found on their set banquet menu. It makes sense that we cannot eat in Mykonos this year, but no-one said we can’t feast as if we are. Book now and you could dine in paradise for a night this weekend. For one night we can just imagine that the Brisbane River is the coastline of Santorini…

Commune at The Tivoli
Music fans, this one’s for you! The Tivoli have created an opportunity for you to indulge in a brand new, intimate venue take-over experience. The Commune at The Tivoli have transformed the historical art deco space into a private restaurant only allowing limited guests per night. For your visit you will have unlimited access to the venue and will be greeted with a glass of champagne on arrival, followed by a seated four-course shared meal, including a cheese and charcuterie starter from experts DALTON Catering & Events, and matched wines by Bacchus Wine Merchants. Guests can curate their own playlist through CrowdDJ by Nightlife, and have it played through The Tivoli’s world class sound system so it’s just like a live show.
If you’re not ready to leave the house just yet, you can instead enjoy takeaway brunch from one of these Brisbane cafes instead!
