Overview
It's been a big year or so for Delfina's Bistro. First, they set up shop at Emporium, and started serving up hearty meals with a gourmet twist. Then, when their mouthwatering mix of modern Australian and European cuisines proved a hit, they expanded their menu and operating hours, adding weekend brunch to the mix.
Onwards and upwards must be the restaurant's motto, because they're not stopping there. In fact, they're not staying at 1000 Ann Street in Fortitude Valley at all. Come the end of July, they're shutting up their existing location, and shifting their entire operations up the road.
Well, not just up the road to 959 Ann Street, but to the Alex Perry Hotel and Apartments. And part of the fun of getting into bed with a luxury accommodation provider is that anyone staying on the premises overnight will soon be able to enjoy their delicious dishes in their rooms, on their rooftop bar and in their plush beds as well.
Indeed, the new setup will include in-room gourmet hampers of house-made breads, relishes, jams, butters and cheeses, plus the ability to order a barbecue dinner and have a chef cook for them on the rooftop — or arrange for the ingredients to be delivered to you so you can cook it yourself. Drinks-wise, Delfina's will be making the hotel's flavoured sparkling waters, syrups, soft drinks and cocktails, too. And whether you're checking in for a night, or just dropping by for a tasty bite or beverage, you'll also be able to actually sit in the kitchen while you tuck into whatever takes your fancy. Now that really is home-style eating.
Find Delfina's Bistro at the Alex Perry Hotel & Apartments, 959 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley, from the end of July. Check out their website and Facebook page for more information.
