Food scene
The Montague Markets are located opposite the property and are awesome! There is everything you could need from Woolworths, Pharmacy, BWS, restaurants, coffee shop, massage, hair dresser and barber. The Italian restaurant Voglia is absolutely delicious! Ample seating but they do not require reservations. Open for daily and for dinner Thu, Fri and Sat nights.

A fabulous pub just 1 block walk from the apartment that is always full with locals and their pooches! Cheapest cocktails around and good pub food. Live entertainment Friday and Saturday evenings I think. Very festive!

Fellons Brewery is a hugely popular and busy brewery located under the beautiful Story Bridge! Social, scenic, on the river, great pub food.
There are quite a few lovely and upmarkets restaurants next to it on the river including Mr Percivals. A favourite for cocktails

Sightseeing
A must visit for anyone coming to Brisbane. Southbank has wonderful walks, restaurants, pubs, markets on the weekends, a beach and kid / toddler friendly paddling pools. You can get there walking from the unit, approximately 1/2 hour. You can hire a scooter or bike ( see my details on Neuron and Beam) and there is the City Glider Bus - 3 stops in 5 minutes (see my details on the City Glider)

The Brisbane Botanical Gardens are just a lovely walk, especially along the river. Many places to sit and relax enroute. There is a part that takes you along the river through the mangroves. Lots of birdlife. You can get there on foot via the Goodwill Bridge at the end of Southbank. Great little food and trinket market on a Sunday morning.
