Mark your calendars, fire up the group chat and work up an appetite because Dine BNE City returns for its sixth tantalising year – bigger, bolder and more indulgent than ever.
Brisbane’s dining scene takes centre stage from 1 – 30 June 2026 with a flavour-packed program featuring a record 130 exclusive offers and special dining events across more than 130 of Brisbane City’s top restaurants, bars and cafes.
Locals and visitors can eat, drink and explore from morning to midnight with wallet-friendly dining deals, special events and a month of vibrant flavours and delectable dishes.
This year, the Dine BNE City program welcomes a brand-new Morning Edition offering, featuring day-starting deals from $1 hashbrowns with any drink at Goldie, the newest café on the block at 360 Queen, to indulgent brunch experiences.
Returning favourite Let’s Do Lunch serves up irresistible midday offers, making quick City catch-ups and long lunches more tempting than ever, with classic meal-and-drink pairings and curated banquets serving wagyu steak, fresh pasta, bao, burgers and more.
Supper Club invites night owls to settle in after dark at some of Brisbane’s best restaurants, including Sokyo and Central, and enjoy exclusive dinner menus such as Nonna’s Favourites at Doughcraft, a three-course feast that conjures the tastes of Italy for only $60 per guest.
That burning 4pm question is answered by Bar Safari and its lineup of signature drink-and-bite pairings, including a Mini Meze platter and two house drinks for $35 at Babylon.
For those chasing something extra special, Dine BNE City hosts a series of Special Events, delivering one-off dining experiences and limited-time menus throughout the month.
They include Donna’s Dumpling Academy, where guests step inside the kitchen for a chef-led masterclass before a banquet under the chandeliers, and The Great Steak Showcase at Blackbird Brisbane, where award-winning Executive Chef Jake Nicolson hosts an indulgent evening celebrating three of Australia’s finest cuts cooked over wood fire, served alongside curated sides paired with wine.
Councillor for Central Ward Vicki Howard said Dine BNE City showcased the strength of Brisbane’s hospitality scene across the city centre.
“Brisbane’s incredible restaurants, cafes and hospitality venues are part of what makes us Australia’s lifestyle capital,” Cr Howard said.
“The CBD is full of hidden dining gems and Dine BNE City is a great opportunity for people to get out, try something new and support our amazing local businesses.
“If you’re looking for more to see and do this winter, why not book into a new venue and see what makes Brisbane such a great place to live, work and relax.”
Joining the Dine BNE City lineup once again in 2026 is Michael Tassis, the founder of Tassis Group, which operates 13 dining venues across Brisbane.
“We’re incredibly proud to have a number of our venues participating in Dine BNE City this year and to be part of a program that brings people back into the heart of Brisbane to enjoy great food and hospitality,” Tassis said.
“In a busy world, sitting down over good food and drinks gives people the chance to slow down and enjoy meaningful time together. That’s what hospitality is all about, and we’re proud to keep delivering those moments through Dine BNE City.”
Dine BNE City is the perfect excuse to explore every corner of The City and discover the venues helping shape Brisbane’s thriving hospitality scene.
