10 of the Best Restaurants with a View in Brisbane

From sparkling riverfront rooftops to breezy mountain lookouts, Brisbane is home to a host of stunning dining spots where the food is just as impressive as the view. And with the Lexus NX - refined, powerful, and built for city adventures - getting there is part of the experience.

Here are 10 of Brisbane’s best restaurants with a view, where scenery and flavour go hand in hand.

Originated in Melbourne, Supernormal brings its signature pan-Asian flair to the banks of the Brisbane River. With its sleek interiors and floor-to-ceiling glass framing the city skyline, diners can dig into iconic dishes from lobster rolls to a 1.1kg grilled wagyu ribeye. 

Perched high above the river on the iconic Kangaroo Point Bridge, Stilts is a true love letter to Brisbane. More than just a restaurant, Stilts captures the essence of Queensland through its locally inspired menu, with each dish framed by panoramic views of the city, Brisbane River and beyond. 

At the heart of Howard Smith Wharves, Stanley serves Cantonese-inspired dishes in a stunning setting. The two-storey restaurant overlooks the river and Story Bridge - best enjoyed from the deck with a cocktail in hand.

Perched on Level 23 of The Star Brisbane’s Sky Deck, Aloria blends European elegance with relaxed Australian charm. With sweeping views of the river and city skyline, this rooftop gem celebrates local, seasonal produce cooked over woodfire and grill - where dry-aged beef and fresh seafood shine.

Perched on the banks of the Brisbane River, OTTO is where Italian elegance meets riverside sunshine. The menu celebrates fresh, seasonal produce - from burrata to handmade pasta - while views of the Goodwill Bridge and city skyline create the ultimate long-lunch backdrop.

For city lights, rooftop vibes and bold Asian fusion flavours, Madame Wu is a local icon. Overlooking the river and Story Bridge, it’s perfect for after-work drinks or dinner with a view. The Peking duck pancakes are a must, and the cocktail list might just tempt you to linger a little longer.

With its lively open-air design and vibrant izakaya-style menu, Yoko Dining brings the buzz of Tokyo to Brisbane’s riverfront. Sit on the terrace and watch the ferries glide by as you share plates of sashimi, tempura and Japanese-inspired cocktails. 

Sitting right on Eagle Street Pier, Massimo offers Italian coastal dining at its best. The bright interiors and uninterrupted river views feel straight out of the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy fresh seafood, pasta and more paired with a crisp wine and that signature Brisbane River breeze. 

Perched high atop Mount Coot-tha, The Summit Restaurant & Bar boasts some of Brisbane’s most breathtaking views - from the city skyline to its distant landmarks. Refined yet relaxed, it’s the perfect spot to soak in the scenery over a yummy breakfast, long lunch, sunset drink or special occasion dinner. 

Nestled along the riverfront, Naga Thai brings a fresh, modern twist to Thai dining. Think zesty flavours, tropical cocktails and prime river views framed by lush greenery. 

From riverside rooftops to sky-high dining rooms, Brisbane’s restaurant scene proves that great food deserves a great view. And with the Lexus NX as your companion, the ride is as impressive as the city skyline.
