EXPERIENCE BRISBANE

If you’re a fan of food (let’s be honest, who isn’t?) then the Eat Street Market Northshore is the best place to head in the evening. Made up from more than 60 disused and refurbished shipping containers, each has been converted into a unique gastronomic restaurants. No matter what it is you’re craving, you’re certain to find it here.

From exquisite Southeast Asian cuisines to delectable dishes from Europe and Australia, every taste is catered for. The atmosphere of Eat Street Market is relaxed yet vibrant. Enjoy live music and street performances throughout the year while kicking back and relaxing with a beer or two.

If you are not ready to end your evening just yet. Why not head on over to the Treasury Casino to try your luck before heading back to the Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central. It is only a 4 minute taxi ride away from the hotel and is a great way to finish your evening. Who knows… you might just have luck on your side.

Brisbane City Botanic Gardens is the perfect place to enjoy the peace and serenity of nature at her finest. Often said to be one of the most beautiful and significant landscapes in Queensland, the 49 acres of immaculate gardens awaken the senses. Spend a few hours exploring the ornamental ponds, Weeping Fig Avenue, and the exotic Bamboo Grove. 

An hour or so at the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens gives you the perfect opportunity to disconnect yourself from work for a while and just let your mind relax and enjoy. Open 24 hours a day, this inner city escape offers up a completely different look and feel at night. In the evening, the pathways are lit up and provide a great place to enjoy a coffee under the stars.

Yes. You read that right.  Streets Beach is Brisbane’s only inner City beach area. The white sands surrounding the sparkling blue lagoon is the perfect place for a mid-morning dip or post meeting swim. Streets Beach opens at 6 am with the best time to visit being between 10 am and 12 noon.

Nestled amongst the South Bank Parklands, this man-made slice of heaven is free to use for all. There is a beautiful picnic area nearby, which is great for enjoying an alfresco brunch overlooking the city skyline with your colleagues.

La Cache à Vín is a little gem tucked away in the streets of Spring Hill. Thierry Galichet and Head Chef Bruno Richeux have created an all-French bistro experience. Everything from the classic French wine cave, to the wooden floors and timber furniture spell out ‘class’. 

The menu is as exciting as the place itself. Here you’ll find many French favourites. For starters, enjoy a plate of fine foie gras, escargots or tender fresh scallops. Mains (or plats principaux as the French would say) include Cassoulet Toulouse (white bean casserole), Poulat au Vinaigre (baked spatchcock with vinegar sauce), and Poisson de Jour (black mussels with vanilla beans and sautéed leek). 

Enjoy a plate of artisan French cheeses and save a room for some classic French desserts. You can also purchase bottles of wines that you enjoyed the most from the wine room located by the restaurant’s entrance.
