Local tip
For an open-air setting, a booking in Babylon Gardens places dining and drinks on the venue’s two-tiered riverside terrace.

Babylon Brisbane is a Middle Eastern restaurant and riverside bar at 145 Eagle Street in Brisbane City. Set beside the Brisbane River, the venue combines Levant-inspired cooking with a contemporary dining setting spread across three levels.

The restaurant focuses on bold Middle Eastern flavours, charcoal cooking and generous dishes designed for sharing. The menu draws from the culinary traditions of the Levant, with food prepared around wood-fired meats, open flames, seafood and roasted vegetables. Slow cooking, grilling and fire-based preparation bring depth to the menu, while house-made baklava provides a sweet finish.

Several dining environments give Babylon Brisbane a flexible character. The main restaurant provides a more structured setting for a meal, while the surrounding bars and terraces create space for relaxed drinks, casual dining and longer gatherings. The riverside position adds an open, urban atmosphere, with the venue designed to work across daytime meals, evening dining and social occasions.

Babylon Gardens is the venue’s outdoor-focused area, arranged over two levels with a bar and terrace setting. The space is suited to alfresco meals, cocktails, late gatherings and celebrations, with views towards the Brisbane River. Its menu features Middle Eastern and East Mediterranean-inspired bites alongside wine and signature cocktails.

For larger occasions, Babylon Brisbane offers private dining rooms, terraces and function spaces. The events offering is designed for corporate gatherings, milestone celebrations and smaller private occasions, with food, drinks and service planned around the event format. The Gardens can accommodate up to 500 guests, making it suitable for occasions that extend beyond a standard restaurant booking.

The venue suits diners looking for shared Middle Eastern food, charcoal-grilled flavours, terrace drinks or a riverside setting for a group occasion. It can also work for visitors travelling from the Gold Coast who are planning a Brisbane meal, drinks gathering or event near the river. Table bookings and function enquiries are available through the venue.
