Bacchus Rydges South Bank

Located on the city's esteemed South Bank, Bacchus occupies a significant place in the city's fine dining scene.

It's rooted in timeless luxury with sweeping dining rooms hosting elegant leather-clad furniture, tables fitted with individual lamps a la The Orient Express and giant globular lanterns that add an element of drama and intrigue. With majestic entertainment spaces too, as well as a showstopping bar with waiters dressed to the nines, Bacchus is every bit as regal as its name suggests.

The royal banquet lives up to the reputation of Bacchus. Honing in on exclusive and humble ingredients, the chefs make the likes of snapper, duck, lamb and pumpkin their focal points and create gastronomic creations around them. The mains take an Italian route with mushroom risotto, octopus ravioli and duck with cannellini whilst the grill works its magic on sirloin steaks, lamb rump and scotch fillet.

Excellence is what they do and you'll quickly see that no detail is left to chance. And whilst you indulge in a carrot sorbet dressed in a ginger consommé, thank the gods for this gastronomic gift in the heart of Brisbane's glistening fine dining scene.
