Naldham House is a 140-year-old heritage building in Brisbane’s CBD that, for 25 years, was home to the members-only Brisbane Polo Club. Today it’s home to Naldham House Brasserie & Terrace, inspired by the grand hotel lobbies of the world and the brasseries of Europe.

The elegant dining room has a blend of booth and table seating, centred around a grand piano. The kitchen serves starters like a beetroot tart with goat cheese, ricotta and hazelnut; followed by beef cheek bourguignon pithivier; and a hefty 800-gram côte de boeuf. Outside, a 120-seat terrace has its own menu of potato and mortadella croquettes; and a Wagyu cheeseburger.

Club Felix, on the first floor, offers a late-night supper club experience with cocktails, an extensive champagne list and snacks like jamon and Comté toasties and fried whiting sandwiches.

For cocktails, you might order the Cafe Felix (spiced rum, coffee, vanilla syrup, Brookie’s mac cream and grated chocolate), or the Newton’s Law (vodka, apple liqueur, apple juice, citric and milk). A Coravin system allows guests to sample premium wines like Krug and Chateau d’Yquem by the glass.
