Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Olio Cafe & Bar is located in the Grey Street foyer of the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, making it a convenient stop in South Bank for visitors attending an event, exhibition or show. The venue offers coffee to go, a snack or dinner, with food prepared fresh daily in the Centre’s kitchens.
The café and bar presents a contemporary dining experience led by the Centre’s internationally recognised and awarded chefs. While the available website information does not detail a full menu, it positions Olio as a flexible option across the day rather than a venue focused on one particular style of meal. Its setting within the convention centre suits a quick solo visit, a pre-show catch-up or a meal before an event.
Olio is best suited to people already visiting the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, including event attendees and guests looking for a place to pause in the Grey Street foyer. The Centre also promotes a broader focus on fresh Queensland produce, seasonal sourcing and accommodating dietary requirements across its kitchen operations, although specific details for Olio’s current menu should be confirmed directly. Google users rate the venue 4.3 out of 5 from 250 reviews.
