Why South Bank is Brisbane's Premier Dining Precinct

Sage Yellowfin at 24/164 Little Stanley Street has been part of the South Bank dining landscape since 2013. Fresh Queensland seafood platter Brisbane options, Moreton Bay bugs, hand-shucked oysters and an outdoor terrace make it a consistent choice for both locals and visitors.

South Bank Dining: What Makes It Worth It

🦞
Queensland Seafood
The best South Bank restaurants put Queensland seafood front and centre — Moreton Bay bugs, king prawns, fresh oysters. Sage Yellowfin sources daily from Queensland suppliers.
🌊
Waterfront Setting
South Bank sits on the Brisbane River. Restaurants with outdoor terrace access capture something that inner-city venues can't match — riverfront air, parkland views, and space after dinner.
🎭
Pre-QPAC Dining

🌿
After-Dinner Walkability
Unlike suburban restaurants, South Bank puts you within five minutes of the Parklands, GOMA, the Gallery of Modern Art, and the riverside walkway. Dinner isn't the end of the evening.
