Petite launches weekday lunch specials
We love a bougie lunch, especially one that doesn’t break the budget. This week, the team behind modern French-inspired restaurant Petite is launching a special weekday lunch menu filled to bursting point with brilliant bistro plates available for $30 each. From Wednesday March 26, guests can pop in for the likes of steak frites, pan-fried fish with beurre blanc and fries, chicken cordon blue with truffle jus and fries, beef bourguignon with vegetables, and a quiche of the day with salad. These dishes are available alongside a selection of add-on items, such as oysters with mignonette, baked scallop with celeriac cream and chorizo, onion tarte tatin with creme fraiche, and creme brulee. A condensed by-the-glass wine list will also be available alongside beers, ciders and non-alcoholic beverages.
Sate Sundays at Warisan
On the hunt for a killer Sunday lunch option? The crew at Indonesian-inspired eatery Warisan is putting on a salivation-worthy spread sure to satisfy. Every Sunday, Warisan is giving diners the chance to enjoy 90 minutes of all-you-can-eat sate, with a menu featuring beef sate with sweet soy sambar, chicken skewers with peanut sauce and marinated tofu sate with sweet chilli sauce, plus signature Warisan dishes like nasi goreng, kerupuk and stir-fried kangkung.

Bar 1603’s Moreton Bay bug roll pop-up
If Queensland had a signature dish, there’s a good case for it to be the Moreton Bay bug roll. For a very limited time, Bar 1603 in The City is hosting a pop-up specialising in nothing but Moreton Bay bug rolls. Highlighting the incredible quality of Queensland’s fresh, locally sourced bugs, Bar 1603’s version of the iconic roll boasts a Japanese twist. Two miso-glazed Moreton Bay bug fillets are paired with cucumber yuzu pico de gallo, sakura sauce, fresh coral-leaf lettuce, cheddar cheese sauce and a side of Tokyo fries. Those feeling extra fancy can add a glass of Veuve Talihan French sparkling for just $10. The pop-up is running from 11:00 am until sold out, every day.
