Live Jazz every Friday night

Re-acquaint yourself with anold friend.


on the cover.

When it comes to great steak, fine wine and marking a special occasion, Southbank Grill, located on Palmer street inside the Rydges Hotel, has something of a ‘cult’ following in the Townsville dining scene.

With a dearth of steak and grill restaurants popping up around the city, ‘The Grill’ has stuck to its guns, providing a real dining experience rather than your run of the mill ‘steak and chips’ meal. Starting with the pressed white table cloths and leather club arm chairs, the dining room is part New York steakhouse, part rocky mountain ski lodge. Slate feature walls and low lighting provide a classic and cosy feeling, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were anywhere but Far North Queensland.

Embracing the location, the dining room gives way to the ‘Grill Deck’ overlooking the hotel swimming pool and lush gardens. Sheltered from the afternoon sun, the deck is a great spot for a pre-dinner cocktail. You can also dine al fresco, perfect on a Friday night when Larry and guys from the Usual Suspects play their regular Jazz spot.

In the 8 years since it opened, Southbank Bar and Grill

has had a firm focus on great steak. With the supply of good quality beef coming to Townsville improving each year and local diners screaming out for it, now more than ever, is the time to sample the best Australia has to offer.

In the 12 months since Executive Chef Kenneth Burton joined the property he has recognised change on both sides of the counter- “We have really seen our guests interests pique when it comes to the produce particularly our beef and seafood. Paddock to plate dining is alive and well in Townsville” and on suppliers- “Our local wholesalers are really understanding this movement too. The guys at Wulguru meats approached us with some amazing ‘King Island’ Beef and while ‘Angus’ has been the ‘Beef Du Jour’, we couldn’t say no. It’s Hereford and it’s just stunning.’

Kenneth has drawn on a wealth of experience to create a menu that showcases quality produce. Cutting his teeth in 5 star Hotels across Europe (and even the odd Michelin Star restaurant), New Zealand and more recently Rockhampton, the Townsville dining scene has been an exciting change. “There is a real diversity in what’s on offer, dining trends are changing quickly and

‘the grill’ sticking to its guns.

Tomahawk750gm 1824with crispy onion rings and house made relish


its great to be a part of that progression, its nice to have guests looking for an experience, and for us to be able to be creative as we can in trying to provide it.’

King Island beef features prominently on the Grill menu but in the spirit of variety, there are a few other regions on offer in the signature stakes (no pun intended).

The 750gm 1824 Tomahawk comes from the renowned Australian Agricultural company. Featured on the cover, it is straight out of a New York chop house. Served with crispy onion rings and house made relish, its quite impressive on the plate. Says Burton, ‘there are some bigger steaks out there, but we are really focused on quality. The Tomahawk can be shared between 2 or not, we’ve had a couple of Cowboy’s come in and their dining partners ended up with a couple of onion rings!’

The second signature dish, Death By Angus, has been a crowd favourite across a couple of menus now. There’s no ‘grabbing your own cutlery and taking a number’ with this refined expression of grill cooking. Victorian Angus eye fillet, braised Angus short rib, and a delectable petit Angus pie really are a Beef experience unlike any other

in Townsville.

There’s no doubt that Southbank Grill is all about the beef, but it doesn’t stop there. There is plenty of great local seafood to be had in Townsville and there is a great selection on the menu. Soft shell crab is a stand out, line caught white fish, and North Queensland Scallops are all fresh, straight off the boat. There are a couple of pasta dishes and the chicken with macadamia cous cous and duck 3 ways are poultry at its best.

Southbank Grill is open 7 days for breakfast and dinner, the bar opens at 4pm and the kitchen from 6pm. Bookings are recommended, especially for Friday’s Jazz spot. Another little ‘trick’ is to join the Priority Guest Rewards program, it’s absolutely free and you get 20% off dinner there and any other Rydges Hotel or Resort. For reservations call 4726 5207.

review.local food. local people .by Janet Lodge

The North Queensland Farmers Market is officially a success! Busy shoppers gathered once again last Saturday to buy local produce from surrounding North Queensland producers.

This new venture has been running fortnightly since the 23rd June this year. The first week was quite chaotic, with a tremendous attendance by eager shoppers (estimated at around 10,000 people). The market is still busy, now with more stall holders, increased variety of produce and more room for shoppers to move about.

There is an impressive array of produce from areas such as: Gumlu, Rollingstone, Bluewater, Ayr and Majors Creek.

The market has a cheerful atmosphere with stallholders very happy to engage with customers and provide information on their wares. The Pirrone brothers from Ayr have brought along cartons of pumpkins, capsicum, squash and cantaloupes. Graeme and Kevin Phillips from Rainbow Gardens in Majors Creek have juicy limes and deliciously sweet passionfruit available. ‘Nonna’ Lina Gincomi and Louise Milne from Ingham have provided a wicked selection of cakes, cannoli and even homemade pasta for sale.

There are 8 varieties of apples, herbs, pineapples, aubergines, sweet potatoes, granola, organic meats, vine ripened tomatoes, jerky, fudge, preserves, chilli sauces, honey, coffee and sourdough breads available. Also, if you would like to grow your own food, seedlings and plants can be purchased.

Townsville is lucky to have such a wide variety of produce available in this specialised market. As one farmer stated “most of the food in our supermarkets have travelled more than I have”. I have to agree – buy local and reduce food miles.

Currently the market is held every second Saturday, adjacent to the North Shore Shopping Complex. There may be plans to hold it every week, due its resounding success. It is open from 6am until midday.

The new cocktail list has been in full swing for about a month down here at Heritage Bar. Along with a larger classics section showcasing some fantastic premium spirits from around the world and a few molecular cocktails utilizing liquid nitrogen, I have added a few new originals created by the bar team.

One of the new cocktails “The Randy Alexander” drew its inspiration from one of our regular guests who helped us create it. What we have ended up with is an amazing mix of fresh lime and raspberries with a hint of lychee and a large measure of Sagatiba cachaca, all rounded off with some fresh sage leaves. Served straight up this drink is a wonderfully refreshing cocktail; that can be enjoyed at any time, so come see us from Monday to Saturday and try one.

Keep shakin, Josh.
