Talk to Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk and he’ll tell you Brisbane diners enjoy some of the freshest produce in the world with Queensland the major agricultural and horticultural contributor nationally during the winter months.
“Brisbane has one of the shortest distances between ‘paddock and plate’ and the Brisbane Market is Queensland’s largest centre for distributing fresh produce for Brisbane restaurants, cafes and takeaway outlets," Lord Mayor Graham Quirk says.
“With the quality of catch taken daily from the pristine waters of Moreton Bay it’s little wonder so many Brisbane menus boast high-quality fresh seafood dishes.
“It’s also not unusual to see our restaurants offering Lockyer Valley vegetables, Kilcoy beef, Buderim ginger, Stanthorpe fruit and an abundance of other local agricultural and horticultural produce.
Brisbane Marketing CEO, John Aitken says figures show locals and visitors alike are embracing the local foodie culture.
“The latest ABS Retail Trade statistics show the largest increase in Brisbane’s retail trade activity is occurring at cafes, restaurants and takeaway food outlets,” Mr Aitken says.
These deals are a great opportunity to dine out at old favourites, try new restaurants or treat yourself without breaking the bank. Also the perfect way to organise a group dining experience without wondering what the bill will be like at the end.
