Incredible Modern Chinese. A bit of a special occasion place as it's more on the pricey side $30-$40 for mains. Their duck buns are to die for and their views are gorgeous.

This is my absolute favourite restaurant in BNE. I go here for my birthday every year and special occasions.
It's modern Thai and it's just out of this world. It's walk-in only after 6:30pm, but you can still order a cocktail and nibbles.
The atmosphere here is incredible, service is great, cocktails and wine list are amazing, but the food is the absolute star here.

Drinks & Nightlife
Great open space bar with the best views of the river & Story Bridge. Drinks are basic prices and they have 4-5 food trucks permanently there to choose from, so dinner with a view is cheap.

This is BNE's newest hotspot. It's got a huge deck and grass area that runs along the river. They brew the beer on the premises and make awesome pizzas. This place is buzzing most nights, so go here if you want to be out amongst the locals.
They do brewery tours daily from 2pm and even do beer yoga on the lawn Mondays from 5:30pm. So awesome.

Sightseeing
This river walk actually starts underneath the Story Bridge. You can head towards New Farm (following the signed walk along the river & a few back streets) all the way to Newstead Park.
Or you can walk the other direction along Riverside (past all the bars & restaurants of Eagle St Pier) and through the City Botanical Gardens across the Goodwill Bridge to Southbank.
You can also ride city cycle bikes & scooters along the river walk, which are abundant in the city.

Entertainment & Activities
As a local who isn't super thrilled about heights, I haven't done this. However, I hear it offers some amazing views, especially if you book at sunset.
