Enjoy Inn

Enjoy Inn at Hamilton brings the long-held traditions of its Fortitude Valley restaurant to a contemporary setting north of the river.

Since opening some 30 years ago, the owners who hail from high end restaurants in China and Taiwan, turned Enjoy Inn into a Valley institution, with their children taking the reins at this slick incarnation at Hamilton.

Locals pour in for takeaway or to take a seat in the glass-sided wraparound space that features caged paper lanterns, traditionally carved stools, and modern table settings.

On the extensive menu are Enjoy Inn’s signature salt and pepper quail for entrée and Peking Duck for main, along with a plethora of Chinese favourites like lobster with ginger and shallots, sizzling Szechuan chicken, salt and pepper pork ribs, plus delicious dumplings.

Otherwise, there's braised pork belly with taro, fried mud crab with ginger shallots and chilli, stir-fried prawns with green tea and honey BBQ pork, or Moreton Bay bugs with black bean sauce; with desserts to follow such as deep fried coconut pudding with ice cream and crispy fried yam roll.
