I've travelled widely, and this outstanding restaurant ranks in the top three I've eaten at anywhere in the world. Hands down the best restaurant in Brisbane. Outstanding food, outstanding service and an outstanding location. Ask for a table by the window for a breathtaking view of the Story Bridge.

Sensational. The meat especially was amazingly cooked. I had three courses and none disappointed. The pork belly separated at a touch of the fork. Likewise the duck confit. I asked for the restaurant signature dessert and the creme brûlée and ice cream were superb.

Then there was the service. Most of the staff seemed to sport a French accent and they were truly lovely.. happy to discuss the menu or drinks at your discretion.  They seemed to be in attendance when they were necessary and in the background when not.. that's more difficult than it sounds.

And of course the view.. well that's in the name of the place and pretty cool too. Good on the council for mixing up the colours of the lights on the bridge.

It was a great night for talking and laughing.. supported well by the restaurant.

Prices?  I think we spent mid 7s for five of us for three course dinner and drinks.

You should def give it a go.

 Verified One of the best food and service waterfront restaurant
坦白講，這間餐廳很浪漫，窗口枱有的是绝佳景觀。食物是很好， stuffed quail 是有創意。Market daily fish 是新鮮及煑得剛剛好。Ristto 入味。Crumble 甜度適中。 最好的是侍者禮貌，有笑容及恰到好處的招呼。 This is a must try restaurant in Brisbane.

We had such a wonderful experience at La Vue Waterfront Restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing — beautifully prepared, delicious, and full of flavour. Everything was fantastic from start to finish.

We had foie gras and quail for entree, absolutely delicious.

For main course,duck a l'orange and the lamb, both amazing. The Lamb sauce was incredible!

For dessert we shared the profiteroles, delicious!!!

All these with the beautiful view of the story bridge!

A special mention to Chef Ronaldo, the owner, who was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and such an amazing host. His passion for the restaurant and genuine care for his guests really made our experience even more special.
It’s not often you find a place with both exceptional food and such warm hospitality. We truly enjoyed our time at La Vue and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful dining experience in Brisbane. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️
