Head on over to Newstead to discover one of the best Italian restaurants in Brisbane, Allonda. From the same team behind Paddington's NOTA, this cool, Scandi-chic eatery is as cool as they come. Settle into the relaxed interiors, which boast concrete walls and neutral tones, to chomp on a scrumptious array of European eats.

While there's a seafood and burrata bar which offers unique flavour pairings, there's also a fantastic selection of Italian fare up for grabs. Think freshly prepared pasta and risottos alongside steaks, ribs and market fish. To wash it all down? Choose a tipple from the extensive wine list or treat your tastebuds to one of the delish cocktails, such as the Tilde Sour. This is a mix of Tidle Raw Vodka, grapefruit bitters, lemon and egg whites.
