Madame Wu

Madame Wu is an upscale Asian restaurant and bar in Brisbane CBD, positioned with views across the Brisbane River towards the Story Bridge, Kangaroo Point and the city skyline. The setting combines contemporary design with vintage-inspired details, giving the venue a polished but considered feel rather than a purely formal one. Guests can choose between the main dining room, bar, fully covered alfresco terrace and private dining space, with room for more than 200 people across the venue.

The food is centred on modern Asian fusion and is designed for sharing. The menu draws on classic Asian influences while using Queensland produce, with the website specifically pointing to dumplings and duck among its offerings. Desserts continue the approach, pairing familiar flavours with an Asian influence. Rather than presenting a long list of signature dishes, Madame Wu’s description focuses on how the menu works as a complete dining experience, with Executive Chef Brendon Barker leading its development.

Its layout makes the venue suitable for different kinds of visits. The dining room and bar provide options for a more intimate meal or drinks, while the alfresco deck and private spaces give larger groups more flexibility. The venue also caters for functions, making it a practical choice for celebrations, workplace gatherings and other group occasions. The river and Story Bridge outlook add a strong Brisbane sense of place without the venue relying solely on its views.

Madame Wu will appeal to diners looking for a stylish city setting and a modern take on classic Asian cuisine, particularly groups who enjoy sharing food. It also offers enough variety in its spaces to work for a relaxed drink, a meal with friends or a private event. For reservations and function enquiries, the venue provides contact details through its website.
