The Best Places in Brisbane to Take Your Dad this Father’s Day

Father’s Day is coming up and we all know that dads can be hard to please. Or maybe they just don’t really care. After years of receiving socks and ties as gifts, maybe they gave up on an exciting Father’s Day years ago.

Here at Concrete Playground we want to make sure that if nothing else, your dad’s stomach is satisfied on his special day. So here are our suggestions of the top five spots to take your old man.

Mundo Churrasco

If your Dad is the type of guy who likes to chew on jerky and mop up his steak juices with bread, then this Brazilian barbecue is the perfect place for him. Located in Bardon and open for lunch and dinner, Mundo Churrasco is a meat lover's dream. Order the ‘churrasco’ for an all-you-can-eat option with endless sides being topped up throughout your sitting. Waiters walk around with slabs of beef, chicken, and pork on large skewers and slice the meat off for you at the table, and keep coming until you politely decline. Not for the faint of heart, this meal is great for dad but you may end up with the meat sweats afterwards.

Lure on Latrobe

This destination ticks the ‘outdoor’, ‘laidback’, and ‘absolutely delicious’ boxes. Often found with a line up out the door, Lure’s popularity is well deserved. The food is amazing and the staff are welcoming and fun. If your Dad is an up and at ‘em kind of guy then this is the perfect place to go to break your fast. Get there early and influence your dad to get the breakfast burger. It's a guaranteed winner, and very reasonably priced so you can afford to pay.

Archive

Some dads have simple wishes, which may include a chicken schnitzel and a good pint of beer (or five). If this sounds like your old man then you have to take him to Archive in West End. With $10 chicken schnitzels, it leaves you open to try some of the unique boutique beers that they have on tap. There is always a great vibe, and live musicians singing foot-thumping hits. To take your dad back to his rocking youth, Archive is the place to go.

Corner Store Café

If your father is a green thumb then he will enjoy investigating the garden at Corner Store Cafe. Overlooking a herb and vegetable patch, Corner Store covers all of the ‘dad’ classics including burgers, curries, and a bowl of mussels for the seafood lovers. With food that never disappoints, your dad will be feeling very special after this Father’s Day lunch.

Hundred Acre Bar

If you have a large group to organise for Father’s Day then consider heading to the Hundred Acre Bar in St Lucia. With a diverse menu for both breakfast and lunch, including kids specials, the whole family will be pleased with your choice. Overlooking the rolling green St Lucia Golf Course and amongst their well-groomed gardens, it is a beautiful spot to enjoy a meal with the family…followed by a round of golf for the enthusiasts.
