The Fifty Six is a Cantonese and Chinese restaurant at Naldham House on Felix Street in Brisbane City. The venue presents traditional Chinese flavours through a contemporary style, creating a dining experience that connects familiar Cantonese cooking with a more modern approach.

The menu is shaped by Cantonese cuisine and influenced by Singaporean culinary traditions. That influence reflects the kitchen’s broader connection to the region while keeping Chinese food at the centre of the experience. Rather than focusing only on convention, The Fifty Six takes established flavours and presents them with contemporary flair.

Located within Naldham House, the restaurant offers an elevated city setting close to Brisbane’s riverfront precinct. Its position in the building gives the venue a sense of occasion suited to meals that call for a considered setting, whether that means a lunch in Brisbane City or an evening gathering. The restaurant’s setting and cuisine work together without moving away from its Chinese foundations.

The Fifty Six suits diners looking for Cantonese cooking with a modern perspective, as well as groups seeking a Chinese restaurant for shared dining. Group dining is part of the venue’s offering, making the restaurant relevant for organised gatherings and occasions that benefit from a central Brisbane location. For Gold Coast diners visiting the city, it provides a Chinese dining option within Naldham House.

Service is available for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday. Lunch runs from midday to 3pm, while dinner begins at 5:30pm and continues late. Reservations are available, and the restaurant can be contacted directly for booking enquiries, group arrangements and questions about the dining experience. The Fifty Six combines Cantonese tradition, Chinese culinary character and Singaporean influence in a setting designed for contemporary dining.
