Southside is a multi-level Pan Asian urban oasis tucked away under the South Brisbane railway bridge in Fish Lane's Town Square precinct.
From the team behind Rick Shores at Burleigh Heads, Southside occupies a Richard Spence-designed building adjacent to a tropical urban garden..
The restaurant offers 2 levels of dining, with a private dining room on the third level that looks straight onto the train line. Serving East-Asian cuisine drawing on Chinese traditions, the menu features a range of dim sum noodle dishes and share plates, accompanied by wines from around the world.
The selection of Dim sum includes potato & truffle spring roll with spiced vinegar, lobster & chive or prawn & truffle hargow, chicken wonton with black vinegar & chilli oil or smoked pork & herb xiao long bao.
Noodle and rice dishes include Master Stock duck with house noodles and Benny's chilli, Char kway teow, Moreton Bay bug and lup cheong or Dan Dan noodle, wagyu beef and Strange Flavour sauce, while side include wok tossed morning glory and fermented chilli, smacked cucumber, shiso & sesame or charred roti bread.
From the share plate menu there's delicious choices like snapper, lotus leaf & soured onions; salt + pepper cuttlefish sandwich with house sriracha; Xin Jiang lamb 'kebab', roti bread & smoked yoghurt; king prawn, Singapore chilli style or Siu Yuk pork belly and native plum. And for dessert there are two options: pineapple custard bun or Vietnamese coffee tart.
