What's New This Week

This week is full of classic favourites hooking up with new twists. From out of town eateries rocking up on our doorstep to Pulp Fiction inspired bars (we are milk-shaking with excitement), you’re going to need to get a head start on this list right now. We’re sure your boss won’t notice if you leave for lunch and never come back.

Montrachet Boulangerie | Bowen Hills

Ooh la la! Say bonjour to the newest member of the King Street family (and prep your wardrobe for Eiffel Tower-sized cravings). Set next door to Montrachet’s newest digs, the boulangerie will unveil a suite of French pastries, lunch baguettes, and fresh, French-style bread. From eclairs we’re e-clamouring to get our hands on to duck sausage rolls and brisket pies, we’d like to say a fond au revoir to all other bakeries, our waistlines, and any breakfast food that isn’t filled with chocolate cream. It’s been real.

Cheeky Poké Bar | Newstead

Because who doesn’t love a cheeky poké bowl once or thrice a week? Opening on December 15, Cheeky Poké Bar will bowl you over with their fresh selections, including the likes of miso bone broths and wonton tacos. You’ll be wonton to eat your way through this menu that’s for sure.
