PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAThe flair and element of audience participation is a great drawcard for people the world over who enjoy theis unique, hands-on and involved style of dining. Award-winning Morgan’s Seafood and Teppanyaki in Scarborough has earned the reputation for serving Brisbane’s freshest and finest seafood – the fish here comes almost literally straight off the boat and into the kitchen. The popularity of this restaurant is indeed testament to its character and is a favourite location for families and people seeking exceptional fruit de la mer. However, many diners flock to Morgan’s especially for the Teppanyaki Room, which lends some creativity and Japanese skill at the hands of master chef Kim Eldridge. Patrons experience firsthand what it means to eat food on the fly as they are summoned to catch flying morsels of varying velocity and flavour.
By combining delicious cuisine with this fun and exciting component, Morgan’s is always alive with big groups wielding chopsticks and laughing merrily. Diners can choose from an a la carte menu or from some of Morgan’s diverse multi-course banquets with up to eight courses of Asian-influenced fare. The Moreton Bay bugs cooked in miso sauce with Dijon mustard come highly recommended and are possibly among the best found in Brisbane. Make sure you sample the sizzling cuts of barbecued meats as well as the wonderfully tasty sashimi/sushi dishes. Whatever you choose, be it combo, banquet, main or teppanyaki, Morgan’s will always ensure a memorable dining experience.
