GET BACK TO BASICS WITH A PICNIC ALONG THE RIVER

There’s nothing more romantic than a picnic basket filled with goodies and a quiet spot with your loved one to enjoy the scenery. Among some of the best vantage points are Orleigh Park or Davies Park (both of which are within the Riverside West End precinct), where you’ll be able to set up under a jacaranda tree with excellent sites out to the Brisbane River.

TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT

West End is undeniably a cultural melting pot and an excellent locale for immersing yourself in some of the exotic cuisines on offer. Why not take your partner along for a date with a difference and try something new – from Turkish lemonade to Tasmanian octopus tentacles and snails in garlic butter – the best place for a sensory Valentine’s Day is undoubtedly West End! To explore your senses without venturing too far from home, head down to Montague Markets and choose from a range of different cuisines including Chinese, Japanese, Italian and American.

GET SPRUCED UP FOR A FIVE-STAR DINING EXPERIENCE

From Brisbane’s best French food to mouth-watering authentic Italian treats, eating in West End is a culinary experience that won’t leave you disappointed.

An elegant cafe and restaurant specialising in southern comfort food and hand-stretched pizza – you and your loved one will both leave satisfied after a visit to Voglia!
