OVELLO BAR & KITCHEN

Boasting Australia’s largest spritz offering alongside a moreish coastal Italian menu, those seeking a chic, yet casual dining experience need not look further than Ovello. From the stone-baked pizza made with a 37-year-old mother dough to the child-friendly mini mocktails, Ovello’s pièce de résistance is The Duchess – Australia’s most expensive spritz that goes for a casual $299.

Rumba

From the team who brought you Lina Rooftop, Soko Rooftop, and Mina Italian, a Cuban and Latin American fiesta awaits on St Paul’s Terrace. Embodying an energy like you’d find on the streets of Havana, an extensive cocktail menu with sangria jugs pairs seamlessly with the flavourful share-style dishes and pinchos served on skewers.

The Nixon Room

The latest venture from the crew behind Gourmet Traveller’s 2023 Queensland Restaurant of the Year, Essa, is a laneway bar hidden within a fig-lined alley off Robertson Street.
