Introduction to Aquitaine Aquitaine Brasserie was inspired by a love of water and classic French food. We have taken a modern and relaxed twist on the world-renowned style of French cuisine, offering it in a contemporary dining setting complimented with simply breathtaking views spanning the river, city skyline and Goodwill Bridge.
We aim to provide the very best product available to our customers, and a part of this commitment includes using sustainably fished seafood, as well as organically farmed fresh produce and meats.
Our kitchen team meticulously prepare almost everything in house daily, from making breads and desserts, to smoking and curing our own charcuterie meats.
Where possible we deal directly with the farmer to get the best possible product in the freshest available condition.
The TeamOur team of chefs, headed by Sam Lonsdale, are passionate and driven to ensure that time between farm and plate is kept to an absolute minimum. They are focused on achieving the best quality produce in peak condition. We deal directly with as many growers as possible. We nurture our local relationships to ensure we continue to work in a sustainable way.
Our front of house team, headed by Jason Manson, has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to European cuisine and fine wines. If you need specialist advice or assistance when trying to match your beverage with your meal, then you have come to the right place.

Customer Reviews
“Taste Sensation, Eye Candy, Location Location” Reviewed 15 March 2015
This was the most amazing dinner I can remember. Every part of every dish was spectacular and beautifully presented. The desserts were works of art and cost no more than a boring old dessert anywhere else. The service staff were sufficiently attentive even though the restaurant was packed, but they stood out due to their extensive knowledge and explanation of the menu.
“Oh yeah! I will be back!” Reviewed 14 July 2015
Exceptional, first class. Sunday lunch post a shocker of a breakfast at Next Door Kitchen Bar. Service 10 outta 10, food and easy 11 outta 10 and if you’ve read any of my other reviews this must be well deserved. The sardines and the mushrooms were our entrees yummo! Great flavor, plated like a work of art. Mains the bouillabaisse and the bride opted for the scallops and lamb entrée for her main. I have eaten bouillabaisse a hundred times well….almost and this was right up there with the best, fresh seafood, beautifully cooked broth packed with rich flavours and again yum yum yummo. The bride’s lamb and scallop equally fantastic she was beside herself…until our shared Saverin Puffs with all sorts or yummies arrived. It was a fabulous finish to a wonderful meal. As ARNIE might say “I’ll be back”.
“Amazing” Reviewed 3 June 2015
Definitely will make my way to this restaurant again. Amazing food – like works of art, not to mention delicious! Highly recommend sharing a dessert as the portions were huge. The staff were really friendly and could answer any question thrown at them. Lovely restaurant and location.

Aquitaine have new owners and they really know their stuff! The food is to die for. Very sophisticated and adventurous. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fine dining quality with a warm and casual setting. All of the dishes were works of art in both flavor and presentation. Also great value and what a view. I can’t recommend this place enough. Do yourselves a huge favour and experience the Aquitaine ride.
“Best French food we have tasted for a long time” Reviewed 14 March 2014
My husband and I have been on a lookout for a good French restaurant in Brisbane for many many years. We used to go to The Little Frog in Coorparoo about 20 years ago and since they closed, we haven't been able to find anything close to their delicious food, until now. My husband and I shared entrees of snails, always our favourite and ashed goat’s cheese. Both were great but out favourite will always be snails in garlic butter. Then I had the pork belly, yum, yum, yum and my husband had the duck which he could not stop raving about how delicious it was. After that I was full but my husband ordered his most favourite French dessert, crème brûlée. The only criticism he had about that was that there was not enough of it. Maybe I shouldn’t have had the teaspoon full I had to taste, although it did look like a pretty hefty serving to me. The biscotti and fruit really enhanced it. We will definitely go back again. The service was fantastic and special thanks to Tilly our waitress. She explained each dish to us which made it very easy for us to order.
