Ekka, Done the Fish Lane Way
Let’s be honest. Brisbane’s favourite midweek holiday deserves more than sleeping in, tackling the washing or spending the afternoon scrolling on the couch.
This Ekka Wednesday, make the most of your day off with a wander down Fish Lane, where great food, good wine and long lunches are all on the menu. Whether you’re planning a leisurely lunch, an afternoon drink that turns into dinner or simply looking for an excuse to get out of the house, Fish Lane has your public holiday plans sorted.
If vibrant Southeast Asian flavours are calling your name, Chu the Phat will be open as usual throughout Ekka Wednesday. From dumplings and bao to fresh seafood, curries and signature cocktails, it’s the perfect spot to gather the group and share a feast.
Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch or making an evening of it, bookings are recommended.
Sometimes all you need is a great pub. Hotel Terminus has your Ekka plans covered with cold beers, classic pub favourites and a welcoming atmosphere perfect for catching up with mates or settling in for the afternoon. Also, their Fox Rooftop and Vixen Room will be open from midday, so you can enjoy the holiday to its full potential.
If your ideal public holiday involves French-inspired dining, beautiful wine and a slower pace, La Lune is ready to welcome you. Expect thoughtful dishes, a carefully curated wine list and the perfect setting to linger a little longer over lunch or dinner. Bookings are filling fast, so best get in quick.
There’s no better excuse to indulge than a public holiday, and Marlowe is serving up two crowd favourites all day long.
Their nostalgic Sunday Sundae brings together strawberries, cream and all the sweet, comforting flavours of that classic Ekka treat, while their much-loved Steak Night is running from lunch through dinner. Pair it with a glass of red, settle into one of the cosy booths and let your Wednesday feel like the weekend.
Transport yourself to the Middle East with a feast at Tarbouche. Their generous share plates, charcoal-grilled meats, fresh dips and warm hospitality make it an ideal destination for a long, leisurely public holiday lunch with friends and family.
Add a cocktail (or two), and you’ve got yourself an Ekka celebration worth remembering.
