Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
GOMA Bistro is a riverside dining stop at the Gallery of Modern Art in South Bank, Brisbane, with an alfresco setting overlooking the city’s riverfront. Its offering centres on seasonal produce sourced locally, giving gallery visitors a place to pause before, after or between exhibitions.
The setting is closely tied to the surrounding art and cultural precinct. From the dining area, visitors can take in The Big Hose, a permanent, colourful play sculpture on the river bank by contemporary Australian artists Tony Albert and Nell. The work adds an interactive focal point for families, while the outdoor atmosphere also suits a relaxed solo visit or a catch-up after exploring GOMA.
There is no need to book: the bistro welcomes walk-ins and does not take reservations. It is open daily from 9am to 3pm, extending to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays, with reduced public holiday hours. The venue is closed on Good Friday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
GOMA Bistro is best suited to visitors already spending time at the gallery, as well as anyone looking for a casual meal in a distinctive South Bank setting. The combination of river views, locally sourced seasonal produce and a permanent public artwork makes it feel more connected to the gallery experience than a conventional café stop.
