Eat Like a King

Overview

Trying to pick where to eat in Brisbane in March? No matter which reason has you out of the house and looking for a bite, a trip to Bowen Hills means feasting your way through Eat Like a King. All month long, King Street's restaurants are doing specials, including dumpling banquets and five-course French feasts.

At Winghaus, for instance, you can start with mac 'n' cheese croquettes with smoked bacon and blue cheese for $12 — or bring your mates for a $115 feast that includes ten pork riblets, corn ribs, ten classic wings, ten fried wings, nine different dipping sauces and three blue-cheese dips. Il Verde has a $49-per-person deal for at least two, which covers polenta chips and arancini to share, a pasta and a pizza dish, and two glasses of house wine or beer. And burger joint Super Combo is slinging an $18 burger-and-shake option.

At Fat Dumpling, pork dim sim, scallops and prawn dumplings, deep fried wonton all cost $9 each, or you can go with the $38 chef's banquet, with that price covering a glass of house wine. Montrachet is plating up its five-course chef's menu for $145, while Xin Chao's $38 option features spring rolls, pork belly bao, grilled chicken vermicelli, and either a beer or glass of wine.

Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq, El Camino Cantina, Kul-Cher, Six Acres and Bar Gusto are each getting in on the action, too, so you can't say that you don't have choices. At King Street Bakery, you can even score discounts on take-home meals — because why miss out just because you're eating in instead?
