Eclectea — Restaurant in Brisbane City

I held my 40th birthday party at Eclectea and could not be happier with how everything turned out!

Review TL;DR - If you're wanting to have an event in an amazing, fun, and airy venue with great food and drink, look no further than Eclectea.

From organising the food and drink plan beforehand, to Kara so generously making it a private function space for a few hours, and then the service on the day from the AMAZING staff, I couldn't have been happier.

I have to make particular mention of the food. The grazing platters at the start (meats, cheeses, fruit, nuts, dips) were a massive hit - my friends very much commented on the visual and taste "wow" of it. Later on the quesadilla boards were understandably quickly devoured. (And if they suggest the Brazilian cheese balls with garlic butter dipping sauce for your event, you just say yes - life will never be the same).

Finally, the venue itself was a talking point amongst my friends. Now I may have frequented Eclectea for a quiet Sunday arvo beer or two since its rebirth, so I know the feel and look well. But my Eclectea-newbie guests loved the decor, ambience, and soul of the place. Yes, I said Eclectea has a soul. Get on down, grab a drink, and you'll see why.

PS - To prove the bonafides of this review, if you check out their Facebook page, I'm the sartorially questionable ginger in the short-sleeved...

I live in the 4017 area, so of course I’ve been dying to check this place out after many recommendations from locals, and it was every bit as good as I had heard! They have the best the vibe, both relaxed and interesting decor and music inside and out. It’s like having a drink with friends on the deck except you don’t have to do anything. 😅 The food was delicious and they have plenty of vego options on the menu too, plus a wide and interesting array of drinks (the alcoholic lemonade was awesome). The staff are kind and helpful, happy to explain the ins and outs of their food and drinks and where it all comes from. With all their locally sourced craft beers and food, it reminds me why I love a small business that supports other local small businesses! Support...

I couldn't believe $46 for a small pizza , shame on you and he was charged 46.00 , all drinks were paid in cash ,how dare you bring other things that have nothing to do with you into a pizza price, the someone else was my partner as you know so don't say someone else, I'm a very kind person but given the way you sent back your comment, I left to save an argument on your premises so before you put something in text about me, there was a very good reason I left, that had nothing to do with the overpriced pizza except saving dramas which you should thank me for, ...
