The Jetty South Bank | River Quay, Shop 4, Sidon street South Bank QLD 4101
There’s a certain je ne sais quoi about dining at The Jetty South Bank. Sitting at the front of the restaurant, overlooking the dazzling Brisbane River and watching people walk by, has a slight resemblance to people watching at Jardin des Tuileries, but with food involved.
Located in South Bank’s River Quay precinct, The Jetty no doubt occupies a prime spot, offering sweeping views of the river as well as the cityscape. Following its recent renovation, the venue is sleek and open with a private dining area also having been added to the space.
The decor of the restaurant isn’t the only thing that has had a make-over as a new menu has been created to offer tantalising modern Australian fare with a relaxed vibe. In addition to the menu items, daily specials can also be found on blackboards displayed around the restaurant.
I couldn’t think of a better way to start my meal with a deliciously refreshing Passionate Fool($8) made with passionfruit, lime, mint & vanilla, shaken & topped with apple juice. As I was browsing through the menu trying to figure out what to order for Minibun George, our waitress advised us that they have a list of options for kids that are not listed on the menu including fish & chips served with salad ($13.50), which I ended up ordering for George. I loved the sound of the spaghettini with sand crab, confit garlic, chilli, lemon & parsley ($31) and I was so glad that I ordered it because it tasted absolutely amazing. It had a fair amount of punch that just had me going in for more. I received the plate thinking ‘holy moly, what a big dish’ but I left the plate completely clean. The Butcher’s Board on the day was Black Angus skirt steak, charred with chimichurri & watercress ($29), which is what the other travel bunnie had. Served with crispy chips, the meat was very flavoursome and tender.
Even though I was feeling quite content after devouring an entire plate of pasta, I simply couldn’t resist the sound of the orange frangipane tart with crispy mandarin and vanilla ice cream ($15), and you bet it was good. It was the perfect ending.
