Bisou Bisou

Bisou Bisou is a stunning contemporary French-inspired brasserie and bar in the base of the glamorous X-Hotel in Fortitude Valley.

The stylish interior features exposed brick archways, chic floral seating, mood lighting, frosted glass panels and a banquette along one wall.

Along one side is a window to the open kitchen and adjacent is the elegant aperitivo lobby bar where diners can enjoy a pre or post dinner cocktail, bar snacks or late night dessert.

The delectable menu takes French tradition and gives it a contemporary creative twist, all the way though from breakfast to lunch and dinner. On the breakfast menu you'll find the likes of Assiette de Fruit, Croque Monsieur or Madame or loaded croissants.

For lunch or dinner you can start with pork or salted herb & cod croquettes, steak tartare, chicken liver parfait or charcuterie.

For Mains the choices include steak frites, roasted vegetable ratatouille, classic pot cooked mussels with a choice of sauce, served with a crusty baguette; and rotisserie chicken (half or whole) with a choice of sauces.

Meanwhile there's a choice of more eclectic dishes like pork schnitzel, barramundi, vegan bowl or bacon cheeseburger.

The cocktails are a highlight of the drinks menu - think lemonade daiquiri with kaffir lime sorbet; white chocolate and macadamia negroni, or the signature  Bisou Bisou Martini (gin, Lillet Blanc, yellow Chartreuse, St. Germain elderflower liqueur & pepperberry tincture with Parisian olives). And the wine list takes you on a trip through the leading wine regions of France as well as a selection of boutique wines from Australia.

Good to know - Bisou Bisou is French for 'kiss kiss'. The owners of this slick, French brasserie are also behind Donna Chang, Boom Boom Room Izakaya and Blackbird Bar & Grill.
