Riverside dining

Renowned restauranteur Andrew Baturo has launched his latest venture in Brisbane’s Riparian Plaza. With Head Chef Suwisa Phoonsang at the helm, Tillerman is the ultimate riverside seafood destination, aimed at creating a relaxed ‘holiday style’ experience. Although seafood takes centre stage, the menu has wide-reaching appeal with dishes featuring only the freshest and most premium produce alongside sometimes exotic ingredients. Mixed seating with high and low tables, banquettes and mini-booths delivers options aplenty with riverside views from all tables, while at night Tillerman is a venue to enjoy Champagne by the glass or delicious cocktails under the glow of the Story Bridge and city lights. tillerman.com.au
