The latest endeavour from The Black Lab Coffee Co. crew and the sister of Paddington’s Blackout is a Moroccan-inspired espresso bar, pouring specialty coffee and single origin hot brews on tap. To pair with your cuppa will be Blackout’s famous breakfast muffins, house-baked croissants, and Butterbing cookies, with picnic rugs and milk crates available to enjoy your order at the nearby park.

This renowned family business has opened its first store in the Sunshine State, bringing along its famous Hungarian delights. What began from a 70-year-old recipe for kürtőskalács (commonly known as chimney cakes), is now a charming bakery serving handmade pastries, slab cakes sold by the weight, and gluten-free options with a twist in West Village.

Within worn bricks and rustic timber, Clarence is the humble passion project of two Nineteen at The Star veterans, who sought a reprieve from posh limitations in a cosy neighbourhood restaurant. Taking cues from neo-Parisian bistros, the produce-driven menu will change weekly with pared-back dishes like green beans with white peaches, almond cream and marjoram, alongside a curated wine selection.

It might not be in Brisbane, but Byron Bay’s new seaside Italian restaurant is certainly worth the drive down south. From the team behind the iconic Icebergs Dining Room, comes fresh and simple dining in a celebration of local producers and community. Menu highlights include orecchiette with rock lobster and their take on the Moreton Bay Bug roll, served on a potato bun with vadouvan mayo. Belongil Beach @belongilbeachitalianfood
