Mews, Brisbane, QLD

"Modern, decidedly Brisbane and unlike anything the city has ever experienced before; Mews brings urban laneway dining to Brisbane’s vibrant Howard Smith Wharves.

A playful approach to cooking puts a new twist on locally-inspired dishes and nostalgic ingredients, all served with a side of the unpredictable. Mews embraces the sharing nature of dining by offering share plates that can be enjoyed together and providing exciting dishes that prompt conversation, all while working in partnership with southeast Queensland’s best artisans, farmers and fisherman who share the same beliefs of local, responsibly grown food. Through working with independent local growers, Mews has developed a menu focused on sustainably sourced meat and fish, while leaning in to a sustainable, plant-forward approach free of pomp or pretension, that celebrates the beauty of ingredients.

Mews’ hero wine list has been curated to highlight the very best of Australian wine, with a focus on small growers making great wine, sustainability sourced from the world over. The extensive list showcases small, up and coming producers, as well as some of the country’s most iconic bottles and unique drops. The small but mighty list of signature cocktails are all decidedly Brisbane, paying homage to Mews’ iconic location under the Story Bridge. You’ll never go thirsty here.

Located in Brisbane’s Howard Smith Wharves, Mews is the buzzing neighbourhood’s latest gathering space. Inspired by laneway-style dining, Mews embraces art and architecture, all while having a little fun with it. Take a seat outside on the alfresco terrace and soak in the crowds from arguably Brisbane’s best people-watching spot. Stylish yet relaxed, Mews offers a true neighbourhood meeting place, where everyone is welcome to gather and stay connected to what matters."
