Brisbane silly season dining - Christmas/New Year eating out

It’s the season when we love to gather together and share the love.

But sometimes it’s difficult to find a place that’s open during what’s known as ‘the silly season’.

These establishments have said they will be open between Christmas and New Year but I suggest always call first and inquire. Restaurants are notorious for changing their hours or shutting up early if there’s no trade around. Unless mentioned – assume they will probably be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. You are warned!

Want to kick up your heels on New Year’s Eve more..

Here’s the list, and yes, I’m checking it twice. Please leave a comment below if you discover a restaurant that says it will be open but isn’t, or have others to add.
