South City Wine Bar & Bistro

Tucked into Woolloongabba, South City Bistro brings a sultry, old-world mood to Brisbane.

Dim light glints off emerald marble as romantic oil paintings and dark timber panelling set the stage for lingering conversation. It’s a reimagined European neighbourhood spot at heart - intimate and made for those who savour a refreshing beverage and something delicious alongside.

The menu moves with effortless charm from briny oysters with mignonette to oven-baked sourdough and cultured butter. There’s a continental wink in tins of Ortiz anchovies and Pollastrini sardines, while share plates lean refined - premium MB nine beef tartare crowned with yolk, and smoked kingfish rillette with crème fraîche and pangritata on charred sourdough.

Larger appetites find comfort in a King River Wagyu burger layered with Comté and capsicum relish, or the classic satisfaction of a butcher’s cut steak frites. Hand-cut chips and a crisp Cos salad with anchovy dressing round things out with bistro poise.

Settle into the glow and allow the night to unfurl at its own pace. Book in, take your time, and follow your fancy!
