4 Dreamy South Bank Spots For A Romantic Riverside Date Night

Looking to impress your next date? South Bank’s riverfront dining scene is serving up serious romance with cracking views, epic food and the kind of vibes that’ll have you locking in date number two before dessert arrives. From Italian feasts to seafood spreads, these spots are perfect for sunset sips and loved-up eats.

OTTO Ristorante
Want to dial up the romance? OTTO Ristorante is the move. Sitting absolute riverfront, it’s all sweeping views, vibrant interiors and fine Italian fare that’ll have your date swooning. Order the Mafaldine Puttanesca, loaded with confit tomatoes, olives, anchovies, capers, stracciatella and buffalo mozzarella, and pair it with your favourite vino. The views are stunning, but trust us, the food steals the show.

Popolo
If you’re dreaming of the Italian Riviera but only have a night to spare, Popolo is your go-to. This South Bank gem has the river views and the eats to match. Start with crispy porcini mushroom arancini, then dive into melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi Sorrentina as the sun sets. Good food, good wine and good vibes guaranteed.

The Jetty
For chilled but still a little fancy, The Jetty hits the ultimate spot. You’ve got riverside views, modern Australian eats and some of the best cocktails in Brisbane. Feast on Moreton Bay bugs, market fish or the crowd fave reef and beef. Our hot tip? Order the Lemon Meringue Drop cocktail and thank us later.

River Quay Fish
Seafood lovers, this one’s calling your name. River Quay Fish dishes up fresh, modern seafood with knockout city and river views. Start with the seared scallops, follow with perfectly cooked barramundi and toast the sunset with a crisp glass of rosé. Date night = sorted.
