Local tip
A river-facing table is worth requesting when making a reservation, particularly for an evening meal.

Stilts Dining is a modern Australian restaurant set high above the Brisbane River at 147E Alice Street, Brisbane City. Positioned on the Kangaroo Point Bridge, the venue connects dining with views across the river, Brisbane’s cityscape and the surrounding landscape.

The restaurant takes inspiration from the Queenslander home, particularly the raised structure designed to catch breezes and stay connected to the outdoors. That idea carries through to the setting, which combines an elevated position with a relaxed yet polished dining style. The atmosphere suits lunch overlooking the river, evening meals and celebrations that call for a more considered setting.

The menu focuses on Australian produce from land and sea, with premium locally sourced ingredients at its centre. Australian steak and seafood form the main culinary direction, alongside the creativity of the kitchen team. The approach is contemporary without moving away from the character of Queensland produce, making Stilts a fit for diners seeking a modern Australian meal in a distinctive Brisbane setting.

Dining options include à la carte service, lunch specials and banquet formats. The venue also caters for functions and events, with spaces suited to intimate celebrations, wedding receptions and larger occasions. Private dining rooms are available for a more contained gathering, while the venue can also be reserved in its entirety for an event.

Stilts Dining works for special-occasion meals, business lunches, group celebrations and visitors looking to pair Australian food with a city and river outlook. Its location makes it a Brisbane destination rather than a Gold Coast neighbourhood restaurant, although it offers a straightforward dining option for Gold Coast visitors spending time in the Queensland capital.

With its bridge-top position, Queensland-inspired identity and focus on steak, seafood and regional ingredients, Stilts presents modern Australian dining in an elevated riverside setting. The combination of a broad outlook, flexible dining formats and event facilities gives the restaurant a role in both everyday meals and planned celebrations.
