Directly underneath the ABC and near the giant Wheel of Brisbane, Champ Kitchen + Bar is a hideaway from the hustle and bustle of South Bank. In the background are the busy ABC journalists rushing in and out all day and in the foreground are tourists and Brisbanites standing under the Wheel of Brisbane, some waiting to climb on board and the others contemplating on whether its worth the $15. Then there is Champ Kitchen + Bar where you can escape for breakfast and lunch every day.

For breakfast we suggest the crab omelette. It comes with Chinese sausage with red pepper, onion and Asian herb salad and a warm soy mirin drizzle ($17.50 each). Enjoy this with some Irish breakfast tea ($3.60 each). For lunch the smoked cured salmon with avocado, sea grapes with radish salad ($16 each) paired up with chocolate fondant, rhubarb and crème fraiche icecream ($15 each) is a strange but delicious combo. From Thursday - Saturday Champ also turns into the perfect evening bar.
