Eats and Treats in the Valley

Overview

Dessert can follow every meal, and don't anyone tell you otherwise. Breakfast, brunch, dinner — they can all be improved with a sweet treat after the main course. So can lunch, too, especially in Fortitude Valley between Monday, April 19–Friday, April 23.

For five days this week, if you're grabbing a bite in the middle of the day in the Valley, you can also nab a free ice cream as well. An ice cream van will be set up in the Brunswick Street Mall, and it'll be handing out 200 free desserts between 12–2pm each day. Obviously, there are a few caveats, though.

Firstly, you'll have to buy something for lunch from an eatery in the Valley — so in the aforementioned Brunswick Street Mall, Bakery Lane, Winn Lane, California Lane, Chinatown Mall and surrounding streets within the Valley precinct. You'll also have to spend at least $8.50 on your meal, and then take your receipt over to the ice cream van on the same day. And, you can only get one ice cream per day.

If you're wondering what you'll be licking, you'll have a choice. Get ready to chase down your lunch with a plain waffle soft serve, waffle rainbow sprinkle or waffle sherbet.
