Fodor's Expert Review Siggi's at the Port Office
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Socialites rub shoulders with celebrities at this charming restaurant and champagne bar in the Stamford Plaza Brisbane. Service is impeccable; decor capitalizes on the 19th-century Port of Brisbane Office architecture. Monthly five-course degustation menus showcase premium local seafood and seasonal produce, and might feature barramundi, duck, or truffles. Opt for the matched wines. The à la carte menu's ever-changing continental dishes could include ocean trout confit or slow-cooked Wagyu beef cheeks. Dessert might be a lemon tart or Siggi's signature crêpes suzette à deux, prepared at the table. There's a tapas menu for balcony and bar patrons, a tea room open during the day, and an extensive wine list.
