Overview
Brisbane Festival is well and truly upon us with theatre, music, art and creativity flowing through the streets of the inner city areas. On your Brisbane Festival adventures we know you will be looking for a delicious bite to eat, so we have come up with our top five places for you to eat during this wonderful month in Brisbane.
Watt Restaurant + Bar
If you've seen a show at the Powerhouse then we recommend that you visit Watt. With a delicious seafood-focused menu, and glorious seating looking over the Brisbane River, you are bound to make your Bris Fest experience a whole lot more delightful by enjoying the laidback vibe here.

Verve Cafe
If you're out in the city at Metro Arts, then you may as well pop into Verve Cafe located in the underground section of the building. Likely to be very busy at this time, you should book ahead, unless you're happy to sit at the bar, and drink from their wide selection of cider. Dimly lit and hidden away, Verve is the kind of place you can go to hide out for a while, so is the perfect place for a performer. The Italian food is delicious and they are very inclusive of gluten-free needs, providing GF pasta and pizza bases. A lively and fun atmosphere to start off your night of theatre.
109 Edward St, Brisbane City; 07 3221 5691; www.vervecafe.com.au
Piaf Bistro
Close to all of the action in South Bank, Piaf is a breath of unpretentious air. Playing the beautiful music of French namesake Edith Piaf, and serving delicious and inexpensive French cuisine, this little bistro is a simple yet elegant place to dine, or to stop for a class of tasty French wine.
