When the owners of Public took this dish off the menu with an aim to reintroduce a re-worked version, the public wouldn’t agree! They criticized, rebelled and brought back this killer dish on the menu ASAP!

The signature crab soufflé from Montrachet is truly a creative culinary creation that is sure to leave your taste buds ringing with flavours. The Dungeness crab is double cooked with cheese and cream to make it feel light.

The veracity of the soufflé to simply tag alone with any other dish like a plate of salad or a bowl of soup and together work a marvel so effortlessly makes it a must-try for everyone in Brisbane.

The Sand Crab Lasagne from IL Centro

It seems like the crab and Brisbane have something to do with each other! Yet another crab-based delicacy from Brisbane is the Sand Crab Lasagne from IL Centro which is believed to bring in a major chunk of the sales in that restaurant.

The sweetness of the crab combined with the tanginess of the Italian sauces and wrapped generously between layers of melting lasagne makes you fall relentlessly in love.

Salmon Sashimi Taco from Sake

Sake in Eagle Street is the place of the perfect marriage between Mexico and Japan! The combination of Japanese-style cooked salmon chunks wrapped in tacos and topped with salsa is the salmon sashimi taco.

A real beauty in its own stride, this dish is so unique to Brisbane and demands an indulgence instantly.

The Bombe from Stokehouse

Imagine a warm cushion of rich meringue engulfing frozen white chocolate on a sponge base and topped with strawberry sorbet. Slurpp! That’s The Bombe from Stokehouse and has been their iconic dessert for many years now. True to its name, the dish bursts with awesome flavours and is a treat to all the senses.

The cosy, quiet city of Brisbane has undoubtedly marched ahead in the culinary race and comes in as the sweetest surprise ever!
