Christmas at Brisbane Quarter

The festive season is rolling into Brisbane Quarter with long lunches, clinking glasses and relaxed summer energy, making it the ideal place to gather your favourites for end-of-year catch-ups, family gatherings or Christmas feasts in the heart of the city.

Festive group feasting
Brisbane Quarter’s restaurants bring their own flair to festive-season dining, turning every catch-up into something worth celebrating. The Lex leads the way with bold, produce-driven dishes made for sharing, all served in a sleek riverside space perfect for leisurely lunches or breezy year-end toasts. Persone keeps things elegant with polished Italian favourites, warm hospitality and river views that make any gathering feel like a special occasion. Phat Boy brings playful Thai flavours and colourful cocktails to the table, Brisbane Phoenix delivers generous Chinese banquets and luxe private dining rooms ideal for groups of 12–30, and Tenya’s Japanese buffet keeps things relaxed, delicious and easy for larger parties.

Christmas Day Dining
At Persone, Christmas Day lunch takes on a distinctly Italian flair. Guests can settle in for a generous celebration featuring antipasti, half lobster, porchetta and the timeless favourite panettone. A flowing drinks package, carols and a visit from Santa add to the festive mood, creating a warm and spirited way to enjoy the day with family and friends.

Over at The Lex, Christmas lunch unfolds as a shared four-course experience overlooking the river. Expect a line-up of standout dishes – from Bay bug remoulade and Mooloolaba prawns to expertly cooked Warwick sirloin – all paired with premium wines and topped off with a visit from Santa.

Festive High Tea
W Brisbane is putting a playful spin on the season with its much-loved Festive High Tea, featuring imaginative sweet creations, savoury twists and a build-your-own gingerbread house station. Keep an eye out for the mischievous W Elf, who adds a cheeky layer of fun to the experience.

Live Christmas carols
Adding a festive soundtrack, Brisbane Quarter’s roving carollers will appear from December 11–13 and again from December 18–20, surprising diners with joyful Christmas harmonies as they wander through the precinct – a cheerful finishing touch to every celebration.
