Sokyo brings modern Japanese dining to a luxe new level. It's all about delicate sashimi, standout sushi, and cocktails with a twist—ideal for an elevated night out with someone who appreciates the finer things in life. 

Quirky and romantic, Deer Duck Bistro is like stepping into a vintage baronial hall. Think antique furniture, soft candlelight, oil paintings and a degustation menu that’s perfect for settling in and savouring every bite with a special someone.

One of Brisbane's finest Italian Restaurants, Attimi by Dario Manca is cosy, refined and deeply charming. The Modern Italian menu is seasonal and sumptuous, the wine list is top tier and the intimate setting makes it feel as though you've got the entire restaurant to yourself.

Perched 10 metres above the river at the end of the Kangaroo Point Bridge, Stilts offers one of Brisbane’s most unique dining experiences. With panoramic views of the city, Story Bridge and river, plus a menu of locally sourced steak and seafood, it’s a date night spot that truly stands above the rest.

The epitome of fine French dining in Brisbane, Montrachet exudes all of the old world charm of a fine Parisian brasserie, and with a menu devised by a Michelin-trained chef. The nearest thing to taking your date to Paris without leaving Brisbane.

With sweeping river views and a bold, Asian-influenced menu, Supernormal is as impressive as its striking interiors. Designed for sharing, it’s a vibrant, stylish spot that brings a touch of Melbourne cool to Brisbane’s date night scene.

Dining at Perspective is something else entirely. With just 12 seats and a seasonal tasting menu crafted by head chef Callum Lomas—who’s legally blind—it’s intimate, theatrical and genuinely moving. One for those nights when you want to do something really special.

Whether you're crossing the river for cocktails or heading to your favourite hidden gem, the Lexus LC 500 turns an ordinary drive into an exhilarating experience. With a naturally aspirated V8 engine, and an intuitively designed cockpit, every trip becomes unforgettable.
