Great Australian Bites 2016

Overview

So, you haven't been to River Quay — and you don't know where River Quay is. It's the pocket of South Bank that now houses a host of restaurants, plenty of grass and a great view of the river, and it's the place to be from January 23 to 26.

For four days, the eateries in the area — aka Aquitaine Brasserie, Cove Bar & Dining, Popolo and The Jetty — will showcase their wares, offering not only a sample of everything that makes them great, but a feast of Queensland ingredients as well. A lineup of live performances provides just the right kind of mood music, and a fireworks display brings everything to a close on Australia Day.

If Great Australian Bites sounds like the perfect way to while away an afternoon, that's because it is. Who doesn't love taster plates piled up, pop-ups, local artists and scenic sights, after all? No one, that's who.
