Look out for the iridescent glow on Oxford Street in Bulimba – you'll be rewarded with a playful diner serving modern, Cantonese-inspired fare, longnecks of Tsingtao, and a tidy selection of small-producer wines.

This Southeast Asian rooftop diner is headed up by a former Longrain chef. Try prawn and pomelo betel leaf wraps and soft-shell crab stir-fried with curry powder and Chinese celery, alongside an extensive list of wine, beer and spritzes.

Poke bowls and sushi bowls for all.

The Jetty Oxford moves to Italy.

Just when you thought pizza and ice cream couldn’t get any better.

Once a grungy warehouse, Bellissimo’s Bulimba site is now a beautiful all-day cafe with hanging greenery and loads of natural light. Come for brunch classics and the brand’s award-winning coffees during the day, and from Thursday nights, Mediterranean-style share plates, craft beer and wine.

A beautiful, Swiss-inspired bakery and patisserie from The Pawpaw Crew. It serves stacks of jam-filled doughnuts, croissants, cruffins, tarts and signature triple-tier baby cakes.

Come to this crumpet-centric cafe for Nutella, strawberry and toasted coconut crumpets; smoked salmon, dill and cream cheese crumpets; crumpet toasted sangas; and a one-kilogram crumpet loaf (did we mention the focus is crumpets?). Also, there’s Tim Adams coffee and Leaf tea.

Ben Williamson-designed sangas washed down with Blackstar coffee.

Step in for wood-fired pizzas and 12 taps pouring an imaginatively named range of beers.

A beer bar where Australian drops are king.

Gelato made with fresh, natural ingredients, just like it's done in Italy.

A bookshop where time seems to slow down.
