fittings and an art gallery. Here are some of the places that offer private dining rooms in Brisbane
for an exclusive experience.
Kenjin
If you’re looking for a place where you can enjoy an intimate dinner with
friends or colleagues, you can consider hiring a private dining room. These
rooms can be found in many restaurants around Brisbane and are designed to
accommodate your guests. The prices of these venues vary depending on the food
and drinks you want to serve. Some restaurants also provide catering services.
Located in one of the city’s most historic buildings, City Winery has an
impressive range of private dining options. The restaurant’s main dining room
is a converted warehouse and features operable walls that offer flexibility for
different functions. The Cabinet Room is a more formal space that was once the
meeting place for the State Cabinet. The room can seat up to 60 guests and has
spectacular views of Queens Park.
Moo Moo The Wine Bar + Grill is another Brisbane venue offering private
dining for groups of 10 or more. Its signature Angus room pays homage to the
restaurant’s most precious ingredient with dark timber, black table cloths and
designer light fittings. It is the perfect setting for a hearty, modern
Australian menu.
e’cco
e’cco is an acclaimed Modern Australian restaurant with a private dining
room. The space seats up to 42 guests and features stripped brick walls and
rows of wines. It is a stunning venue for groups that want to have a special
dinner in Brisbane. The menu includes a variety of classic dishes and wine
pairings, such as roast pork belly with spiced eggplant relish and chili
caramel.
The multi award-winning e’cco is a Brisbane institution with 23 years
under its belt. The restaurant has moved from Boundary Street to Newstead and
picked up a more casual fit out, a progressive menu, and a Brazilian charcoal
grill to boot. The new e’cco is still an outstanding choice for those looking
for a top-notch meal and service in a contemporary setting.
The Red Lantern Room at Madame Wu is a small, intimate sit-down space
that can accommodate up to 24 people. Located in Old Mineral House, the space
is perfect for a group that wants to experience fine Asian cuisine. The menu
includes a range of appetizers, entrees, and desserts.
Agnes
A darkly hued brick warehouse in an unassuming corner of Fortitude Valley
serves up modern Australian wood-fired feasts in a slick and moody space that
compliments the drama, spectacle, and ancient skills involved in cooking over
fire. Lauded chef Ben Williamson has joined forces with restaurateur dream team
Tyron Simon, Bianca Marchi, and Frank Li (Same Same, Los, Honto) to create this
backstreet beast, where menu highlights include oysters baked over coals in XO
and nduja butter and wood-roasted duck with caramelised sweetbreads.
The sommelier, Lilly Heenan, has hit her stride here too, with a list
that balances the demands of a varied clientele and embraces the artisan in an
intelligently assembled collection of smaller producers with lo-fi leanings and
those committed to natural farming. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better
glass of wine anywhere in Brisbane.
Book yourself a spot in the upstairs private dining room to enjoy one of
their banquet menus designed by the restaurant’s executive chef. This intimate
and sophisticated room seats 22 and comes with dedicated floor staff to look
after your every need.
Gerard’s Bistro
Gerard’s Bistro on elegant James Street is currently closed for
renovations, but you won’t have to go without your favourite dishes during this
two-month hiatus. Neighbouring bar Gerard’s Bar will be serving up a revamped
menu that bridges the gap until the restaurant reopens.
If you’re looking for an intimate dining experience with a beautiful view
of the Brisbane CBD, then this is the place to go. The space has a glass wall
that looks out to the main dining area, so you’ll feel like you’re part of the
action but still ensconced in your own bubble. It can accommodate up to 30
people for a seated event.
The food here is a mixed bag, but the cauliflower dish is definitely
worth a visit. The menu also includes smoked cod, pilchards, and the like, but
it’s the decor and the atmosphere that make this place stand out. Designed by
Elie Moubarak, the space is eclectic and full of off-centre angles, which give
it an architectural vibe. The dark lines and timber finishes are complemented
by modern culinary tastes and Middle Eastern influences.
Blackbird
Blackbird is a stunning restaurant and function venue in Brisbane with
180 degree views of the Story Bridge and Kangaroo Point cliffs. It is also
known as one of the best weekend party hotspots and a fabulous fine-dining
destination that gourmands rave about.

Jones boardroom, which seats up to 24 guests around a heritage cedar table. The
