James Street
District overview
James Street / Inner East
James Street is the most commercially polished dining strip in Brisbane. It runs through New Farm and holds a cluster of national-calibre restaurants alongside wine bars, delis, and a weekend market. The street rewards attention — Graze and +81 Sushi Kappo both call it home, and the precinct continues to attract serious operators.
