Our first experience eating at The Green was wonderful. First we were very late but we were assured there would be a table for us. We ordered the set menu for 4 and enjoyed every dish. The eggplant tart tatin was especially delicious.

West End

About the restaurant

Some time ago, we decided it was time Brisbane’s West End had our very own tropical Covent Garden oasis…not long after, this little beauty was born! A contemporary gin house (with 500+ gins to indulge in), as well as one of Australia’s very few fully coeliac friendly / gluten free restaurants, right in the beating heart of West End!

Had a great meal the other night. My wife has issues with gluten and most artificial colours flavours and enhancers. It was a great relief to find a restaurant that takes this seriously. Will be back.
