Rydges South Bank is going all in on Christmas spirit, setting up a 3.5-m gingerbread christmas tree in the foyer for all of December and hosting pop-up live carolling performances from Opera Queensland and The Little Red Company.

Choose between an entree of kingfish sashimi or burrata with fennel and artichokes, mains including rainbow seaweed-adorned risotto and orange duck, and finish with one of Bacchus’ famed desserts – the honey, cinnamon and blue cheese apple, or the hazelnut with genmaicha and caramel.
When the big day comes, you have two delicious options for your Christmas Day feast – a grand lunch in the Podium Ballroom and a delightful dinner at famed Bacchus Restaurant.
