The Brisbane Hotel opened in December 2004, and quickly became the 'it' place, for foodies and barflies alike. The restaurant menu is extremely varied, dubbed by chef Anthony Schell as 'Australian classics with a modern interpretation,' made only with WA ingredients. Some of these dishes include succulent Moroccan spiced lamb, eggplant and tomato pizza; his famous prawn linguine; and a traditional (and scrumptious) rhubarb and apple crumble with vanilla ice cream. If these culinary delights aren't enough on their own, they can be enjoyed whilst bathing in the sun of the beer garden during summer, or tucked - all warm and cosy - in the subtly lit restaurant in winter, complete with blazing fire and upbeat background music.

Definitely best for an afternoon lunch
I know this bar gets very busy at night so that's why my partner and I decided to come here for a leisurely afternoon lunch. We ordered 4 share plates and they were all lovely, especially the arancini balls! They were the best I've had in Perth! Service was good although they did get our order confused, something that may have been fixed by actually writing the order down to start with. But all friendly and couldn't really complain, I left happy.

The Brisbane
Consistency is what the Brisbane is all about. The Chicken Cesar salad I had today (Monday 22nd March), was exactly the same as the Chicken Cesar salad I had a year ago. Menu hasn't changed all that much in that time either which is OK, as they have something for pretty much everyone. A couple of Fish dishes, namely Salmon and Barramundi, 300 Gram Scotch Fillet, Linguine etc. As well as a selection of Pizza's. Food is above average but is missing the wow factor, which is something all pub type food is missing. Always nice to chill out at The Brisbane. It has been accused of being a tad too pretentious at times, but a quiet lunch with a couple of friends is not one of those times. Pete Murray coming out of the all weather speakers is a good choice of background music and conversation is easily maintained. Initially only one waitress served patrons at around 1:40pm, but she was friendly, efficient and we didn't have to wait long to order food and drinks. Overall it's a great place for lunch but it gets way busier on Friday and Saturday nights when the atmosphere is lost, communication becomes hard and the wait for drinks increases ten fold. On the whole a good place for a relaxed lunch. Good service and reasonable prices.

Never disappoints
I took my Dad here for lunch, along with my brother. I had talked up the meals and atmosphere and was a little nervous that the Brizzy would not deliver. Fantastic. This place does the best Steak sandwich in Perth and the prawn, chilli, pasta dish was superb. The wine is a bit pricy (though the self-branded house wine was actually pretty good)and the service was relaxed and friendly but very professional. Even the bar staff are friendly without exception and seem to love their job.

The bar on a Saturday night does not make a good restaurant!
Due to the current popularity of The Brisbane as a trendy watering hole, I would definitely give it a miss as a restaurant. Mid-week may be fine, but Saturday night it was a nightmare!
We waited ages for our table, which was in the beer garden. We were surrounded on all sides by standing drinkers, and also smokers! (I thought food service areas were definitely no smoking zones in Perth now!)
The poor wait staff had to fight their way through crowds of people from the kitchen, through the bar and down crowded steps into the beer garden. They did the best they could under the circumstances. It was so dark we could not see the food, and so loud we could talk only to the person next to us, and that was at the level of shouting. I went home with a sore throat!Food was OK. Scotch fillets were cooked as ordered, but not great cuts of meat. Pad thai with pork belly salad was thoroughly enjoyed by one diner, but disliked by another (pork belly pronounced "slimy"). I tasted it and felt the thai flavours were authenic but very strong on the dried shrimp. Lamb was "OK, but nothing special". The spanish doughnuts were fun, and shared with much laughter by the table.
I have eaten here before and had better experiences.
On a Saturday night, The Brisbane is a funky, loud and busy bar, NOT a restaurant- don't expect one.

Really good food and service for a pub!
I have eaten here quite a bit over the last 2-3 years.
The food is consistently good in terms of quality, preparation, freshness and presentation. It's a welcome change from normal 'pub' food.
The service is good, the waitstaff know the food and wine and have always been pleasant and helpful.
The Caesar salad is one of the best in Perth! In fact all the salads are good as are the pizzas. The fish and chips are well worth a try if you want a calorie boost!
The 'beer garden' is fantastic in the warmer months for dinner it has great atmosphere.
I will be going back.

Food is great, service...not so much
We found the service was very ordinary. Bookings were mixed up, the menu finished earlier than the time indicated on their website. The food we did order was worth staying for. However, in all, not somewhere we would rush back to. Perhaps best to visit mid week.
