LOCATIONIn the heart of Brisbane’s scenic South Bank.
PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIADecks Restaurant banishes the humble backyard family barbecue and plastic pergola with its impressive culinary efforts and wonderful setting. In picture-perfect parkland surrounds, Decks is located on a charming open-air verandah that hugs a refined, modern Queensland-style venue. Sights of the Brisbane River make it a superb dining destination whether tucking into freshly-shucked natural oysters, salt and pepper calamari or a 250gm Queensland Charbray-bred rib-eye fillet. There’s also good cocktail list and a thoughtful selection of wines, and the friendly and professional staff constantly ensure that all of your needs are met.
With a passion and focus on the freshest local seafood and prime beef available, this restaurant makes quality ingredients and produce its star components – and this stands out. A range of platters offer a marvellous way to chat while sampling some of Queensland’s finest seafood – prawns, crumbed baby calamari, grilled Atlantic salmon, sea scallops, crumbed whiting – with a big serving of piping hot chips. If you’re more meat than ocean, try the fillet mignon which comes perfectly wrapped in ribbons of bacon and set on a potato gratin with sweet semi-roasted cherry tomatoes and farm-fresh sugar snaps. The restaurant also offers a weekend breakfast menu and a daily lunch. Decks is a great place to enjoy great food.
