The Balfour Kitchen & Bar

Classic Brisbane Queenslander architecture. Beautiful wooden detailing. Breezy verandah dining. The Balfour Kitchen & Bar delivers serious subtropical atmosphere. Those tracking New Farm’s culinary circuit point to this spot for its intimate rooftop views and killer al fresco energy. The kitchen fires out vibrant, flavor-packed sharing plates—think perfectly seared barramundi, crispy bao, and a Vietnamese coffee brûlée that nails that rich cà phê sữa đá profile. Design purists obsess over the heritage aesthetic, while weekenders show up for the flawless high tea service and creative cocktails. Snag a table on the deck. Order a platter to share. Total Queensland perfection.
