Brisbane’s month-long food festival is officially back, with Dine BNE City returning this June to serve up its biggest program yet. Across 30 delicious days, more than 80 restaurants, bars and cafes throughout The City will roll out exclusive menus, special events and limited-time offers designed to tempt diners from morning through to late night. Here’s a taste of what’s in store …
Running from June 1–30, this year’s Dine BNE City program features a record 130 dining experiences, spanning everything from quick breakfast bites and long lunches to cocktail pairings, chef-hosted dinners and indulgent multi-course feasts. Whether you’re squeezing in a midweek catch-up, planning a date night or simply looking for an excuse to revisit an old favourite, there’s plenty worth booking in for.
New for 2026 is Morning Edition, a breakfast-and-brunch category bringing extra incentive to start the day in The City. Expect coffee and breakfast deals, elevated brunch offerings and easy pre-work stops, from $1 hash browns with your morning coffee at Gather Bistro and the soon-to-open Goldie, to corn tostadas paired with watermelon mimosas at Riverbar & Kitchen. Over at Mr Edward’s Alehouse & Kitchen, hefty bacon-and-egg or avo-and-haloumi burgers come with coffee for just $15.
The ever-popular Let’s Do Lunch category is also back, making midday plans far more tempting. Among the offers are truffle risotto with a house wine or beer at Stilts and ‘cha chaan teng’ style steak paired with wine at Central – both for $40. Over at Marhaba Cafe, loaded BLTs will come served with chips and a Bundaberg Brewed Drink for $22.

As the city lights come on, Supper Club events will take over with after-dark dining specials. At Mulga Bill’s, guests can settle in riverside with a hearty meat paella for two paired with wine, beer or sparkling for $41 per person, while Tillerman Seafood Restaurant and Bar is serving a late-night seafood set menu featuring ceviche, octopus and swordfish steak with a complimentary glass of wine for $49 per person. Over at Doughcraft, the three-course Nonna’s Favourites menu serves up arancini, lamb ragu pappardelle and tiramisu for $78.
Meanwhile, Bar Safari offers will bring the drinks-and-bites energy to venues across The City. Blackbird Brisbane’s ‘Adult Happy Meal’ pairs boujee chicken nuggets or a cheeseburger with fries and sparkling wine for $35, while Pompette Champagne Bar & Restaurant is serving up moules frites with beer, wine or sparkling for $40. At The Brasserie Bar at Naldham House, the Tapas and Tipples offering pairs mini cocktails with snacks like olives, prosciutto, manchego and chocolate truffles for $24.
A series of one-off events will also run throughout June, bringing chef-led experiences and limited-seat dinners into the mix. At Donna Chang, Donna’s Dumpling Academy blends hands-on dumpling making with a banquet-style yum cha lunch inspired by Cantonese and Sichuan flavours, while Blackbird Brisbane is hosting The Great Steak Showcase – a woodfired feast centred around premium Australian cuts, paired with sides and wine for $109 per person. Over at The Brasserie at Naldham House, the Marvelous Mushrooms Chef’s Table event will spotlight seasonal mushroom varieties across a creative multi-course dining experience for $150 per person.
