The Umami Edit: A Deep Dive Into Flavour

This winter, Fish Lane’s finest are serving up rich, savoury and soul-warming flavours with The Umami Edit, a curated menu series celebrating the fifth taste in all its complex glory.

Across the precinct, our restaurants and bars have crafted exclusive dishes and cocktails that hero earthy mushrooms, bold spices, miso, truffle, and more. Whether you’re sipping, snacking or indulging in a full feast, there’s a deep and delicious experience waiting.

Check out what each venue is offering:

Bar Rosa
Bar Rosa keeps things classic with a luxe risotto featuring a rich porcini mushroom ragu, sweet peas, and creamy mascarpone – all for $30.

Bird’s Nest
Bird’s Nest is dishing up truffle fried rice loaded with assorted mushrooms – rich, warming, and packed with depth ($21). Wash it down with their bright and bold yuzu kosho martini ($24) for the ultimate flavour contrast.

Chu the Phat
Chu the Phat is serving up deep, savoury comfort with stir-fried mushrooms braised in rich jorim broth, paired with steamed tofu ($34). Round it out with their cocktail creation, Umami Dream – a bold blend of miso paste, white crème liqueur, Cointreau, Baileys, and coffee, crafted to hit all the right notes ($20).

Hello Please
Hello, please bring the umami – with crispy shiitake and tofu agedashi in a black bean consommé, finished with ginger and shallots ($35). They’re also pouring a soy salted caramel old fashioned ($24) – familiar, but with a twist.

La Lune Wine Bar
Over at La Lune, the mushroom and foie gras pithivier wrapped in golden pastry is a must-try, served alongside sautéed Swiss chard ($30). Pair it with a glass of Farr Pinot Noir ($22) – earthy, elegant, and a perfect match.

Lune Croissanterie
Lune Croissanterie is blurring the line between sweet and savoury with a truffle potato pull-apart loaf layered in croissant pastry, cured yolk sauce and parmesan, plus a miso cherry cruffin filled with roasted miso custard, cherry gel and black sesame ganache.

Maeve Wine Bar
At Maeve, the risotto alla parmigiana gets a savoury boost from smoked bacon and miso-roasted mushrooms ($35). Their soy salted caramel old fashioned ($24) is the perfect sweet-and-salty finisher.

Midtown Bar Brisbane
Meet the Martini Umami – a bold blend of Bulldog Gin, fermented pickle brine, and dry vermouth, finished with a porcini mushroom and sea salt rim and garnished with a pickled onion. It’s briny, earthy, and unmistakably umami ($24).

Next Episode
Next Episode goes full flavour with a cocktail of exotic mushroom and butter-washed vodka, miso caramel, lemon, and oolong syrup, garnished with shiitake mushroom and rosemary truffle oil. It’s savoury, buttery, and wildly complex – all yours for $24.

Southside
At Southside, the Cavalier Cobbler brings a punchy mix of Lula white rum, passionfruit, peach, five spice, and amaro ($25). On the food front, dig into wagyu beef gyoza with chilli bean and Sichuan pepper ($26), or go meat-free with the Kung Pao tofu – fiery, flavourful, and loaded with cashew crunch ($34).

Whether you’re a die-hard savoury fan or simply curious about the fifth sense chefs love most, The Umami Edit in Fish Lane is your excuse to explore something unexpected.
