Brisbane’s newest riverside dining spot, Mulga Bill’s, has officially opened at the Landing Plaza, right where the Kangaroo Point Bridge meets the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens.
Launched just in time for Valentine’s Day, the eatery has already made its mark, sharing on Instagram:
“We’ve been spreading the love across Kangaroo Point Bridge and beyond this Valentine’s Day, and there’s plenty more where that came from! We can’t wait to welcome you soon.”
A Concept Inspired by Banjo Paterson
Named after Banjo Paterson’s famous poem about a daring bicycle rider, Mulga Bill’s embraces the active transport theme of the newly opened Kangaroo Point Bridge. It offers a relaxed, yet high-quality dining experience catering to both casual visitors and adventurous explorers.
With a menu designed to fuel both early risers and evening diners, Mulga Bill’s serves up wood-fired pizzas, premium steaks, and fresh seafood. Coffee lovers can grab a takeaway from as early as 6:00 am, while those looking for a twist on their morning meal can enjoy their newly introduced ‘Brekky Pizza’—because who says pizza is only for lunch and dinner?
A Culinary Team with Expertise
Under the leadership of venue manager Alex Abson, previously of Massimo Restaurant & Bar, and Head Chef Riccardo Andrini, formerly of Yamas Greek + Drink, the venue delivers a thoughtfully curated menu celebrating premium local produce with Mediterranean flair. Breakfast highlights include wood-fired eggs, açai bowls, and the signature brekky pizza. For all-day dining, guests can enjoy wood-fired paella, fresh seafood served tapas-style, and a diverse range of gourmet pizzas.
The drinks menu complements the main offerings with an impressive selection of beverages, from expertly brewed coffee and refreshing smoothies to breakfast mimosas, mocktails, and cocktails. Beer, wine, and spirits round out the options, ensuring something for everyone.
A Destination Dining Experience
Mulga Bill’s is just the first of two new ventures by Tassis Group along the river, with overwater restaurant Stilts set to open this week.
The Kangaroo Point Bridge, which officially opened in December, has already proven to be a popular addition to the city, recording over 300,000 crossings in its first month alone. Mulga Bill’s is perfectly positioned to take advantage of this foot traffic, offering a vibrant dining experience at the heart of the action.
