Eating Out at QAGOMA

Updated: Jan 01, 2025

GOMA and Queensland Art Gallery, renowned world class art galleries in one of inner city Brisbane's most picturesque settings, are also dining destinations in their own right, with a casual riverside bistro, garden courtyard cafe and an upscale restaurant serving art on a plate.

Whether you're after a casual bite to eat or an elegant sit down lunch with a glass of fine wine, QAGOMA has you covered:

GOMA Bistro

GOMA Bistro boasts a unique and leafy riverside setting with al fresco dining under soaring poinciana and fig trees, views of the city and the Kurilpa Bridge - an idyllic spot to relax and partake in the casual foodie's menu and a coffee or glass of wine or beer. Open daily from 10am-3pm, menu items include Banh Mi (with a choice of 2 delicious fillings), light meals such as Corn croquetas, smoked cheddar, green tomato and jalapeno jam and Main meals such as Fried chicken, XO jam, salted wombok & lime mayo. There's also a daily selection of sweet treats available from the cabinet.

GOMA Restaurant

Tucked away on the western riverside of GOMA, the chic minimalist restaurant with ceiling to floor glass windows and dazzling gastronomic dishes is one of Brisbane's best kept dining secrets. Open from 11.30am-3.30pm Thursday to Sunday, this is perfect spot for a glass of boutique wine and a leisurely lunch.

QAG Cafe

Take a seat in QAG cafe's cool interior or under the trees in the secluded Sculpture Courtyard, with its playful water feature and beautiful bronzes from the Collection and enjoy a well-brewed coffee or glass of wine, light meal or indulgent sweet treat. Open from 10am-3.30pm daily, the tranquil dining oasis is the perfect place for a contemplative retreat between art viewings. On the menu are gourmet Turkish sandwiches, dishes such as Green peppercorn chicken, kohlrabi, vermicelli & plum dressing or Orange ricotta dumplings, elderflower labneh, radicchio, pomegranate & purple potato, as well as a daily dessert and pastry selection.
