Seafood restaurants in Brisbane
Moreton Bay prawns, coral trout, mud crab, and the daily catch from Queensland's east coast — Brisbane sits next to productive seafood water. Venues that emphasise local catch are often those closest to the source: river-facing rooms in the CBD, and markets-to-table operations in South Brisbane and the Valley. Useful starting points depend on menu style and budget.
