Walk up the river wall path to Kangaroo Point. The elevated position offers an unobstructed view of the CBD skyline to the west. Find a spot on the grassy banks or near the climbing walls where the light is starting to turn gold. This is the prime viewing window before the sun actually dips below the horizon.
19:32
Cross the Story Bridge to South Bank. The walk takes you through the parklands to Ahmet's Turkish Restaurant. It is one of the most popular spots in the precinct, so arrive promptly to secure a table. The kitchen is known for its painstaking quality, which means a longer wait for food, but the atmosphere and belly dancers on weekends make it worth the pause.
20:47
After dinner, head to Brew. This alleyway joint serves some of the best coffee in Brisbane by day and transforms into a trendy boutique bar by night. It is a relaxed, bohemian space perfect for winding down after the busy dinner service. Enjoy a micro-brewed beer in a welcoming environment.
Local tip
Ahmet's is busiest on weekends. If you are visiting on a Saturday or Sunday, the restaurant can get quite loud with the belly dancers. If you prefer a quieter conversation, consider a weekday visit or booking well in advance.
Check before you go
- Ahmet's Turkish Restaurant closes at 21:00 on Friday and Saturday, and 20:00 on other days. Ensure you finish dinner before closing time.
- Brew has no listed opening hours in the context, so check local listings for evening access.
