Locally inspired culinary experiences personalised for each group to highlight some of the city’s The experience is unique and customised just for you!
(7)

Delectable Tours prides itself on supporting wonderful venues that source their produce locally and highlight the local cuisine. We put the ground work in to make sure we’re taking you to venues that not only have a strong reputation for excellent food and service, but that our experience with them has also lived up to their reputation. In our endeavour to highlight some of the best restaurants th

e city has to offer, we feel that one isn’t necessarily the best reputation for the numerous options available to meet your tastes, budget and other dining desires. As a result, Delectable Tours specialises in providing progressive dining and tapas experiences so that you can get a better taste for what the city has to offer from a couple of great dining destinations. Unlike standard food tours, each dish you will enjoy on a Delectable Tour is picked specifically for your group to cater to your tastes and will be matched with the beverage style of your choice. Delectable Tours offer private dining for all tours so that you and your group can better share in conversation and share something a little more special than regular restaurant dining. It also means that there is no waiting for tables and provides a higher level of dedicated service that offers you further privacy and comfort. Our experiences allow you to stipulate your budget so that we can offer the best food and beverages in line with your desired price point. All of Delectable Tours include private transportation to take you from door to door so you don’t have to worry about where you’re going, how you’re going to get there, let alone parking or worrying about having a designated driver. Instead, we will be your designated driver and host, offering you further insight into the city’s food culture and share our love and knowledge of food, wine and spirits with you.

We've had the pleasure of celebrating a number of life’s best little moments lately with an abundance of mouthwatering dishes and lovely guests to match 😋

Among the highlights from this past week was this Pistachio Panna Cotta from . This dessert was certainly a treat for the tastebuds with a delicate layer of creamy panna cotta, perfectly infused with pistachio, topped with a trio of raspberry delights! From freeze-dried raspberries that add a delightful crunch to the velvety whipped yogurt and white chocolate, to the luscious raspberry coulis —every bite was a symphony of flavour. And let’s not forget the fresh raspberries nestled between crunchy pistachio bits on a buttery sable biscuit. It’s a dessert that takes you on a delightful ride through textures and tastes!

With so many textures and complimentary sweet, nutty, and slightly tart flavours it was a perfect end to a long lunch experience.

- never be afraid to ask a venue, or even their guest musicians to help make a celebration even more special. Think, a candle on a dessert, making a special drink not on the menu, or even requesting happy birthday to be sung when that said dessert comes out! Generally people in hospitality are in it because they love it.

Thanks to the team at for helping us to enhance a birthday experience for our guests on the weekend. And a special shoutout to the very talented singer and her beautiful rendition of Happy Birthday 🎂🎈 The birthday girl and guests had a blast!

Mini food always makes for great party food, but it also makes for great food tour food too. Not only is it easier to eat, but it's cuteness will also be a hot topic of conversation, and trust us, with multiple stops, small food is a blessing 🙏

In this instance, the small food falls into the category of snacks. They are small parcels packed with deliciousness and designed to be eaten in just a few bites (or less!). These are now on many restaurant and bar menus and make the perfect start to a meal.

Here we have Duck Parfait Macarons with blood plum from , followed by Deviled egg, curry and black pudding, as well as Crumpets with braised pork, fennel, and fig XO from
It's safe to say they were all delicious 🤤

🌟 October is a pretty good time here in Queensland for a number of reasons, but for food lovers it is also the time when a number of delicious ingredients such as mangoes and ginger come back into season.

Both the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay Burnett regions are home to our largest ginger crops. Have you ever tasted fresh ginger from the Sunshine Coast or Wide Bay Burnett? It's not just any ginger—it's some of the best in the world! 🌏✨

We love to have it in stir fries or other Asian dishes like Vietnamese Caramel Ginger Chicken, the flavour is simply out of this world! 🌶️🍽️ but for a treat, it is hard to go past ginger beer 👌 It’s the perfect blend of spice and sweetness that just screams Queensland vibes! 🥂

What are your favourite ways to enjoy ginger?

We often talk about going out for drinks and without a doubt associate socialising with alcohol more often then not. Which is fine, but we also know not everyone drinks. Just because you're not drinking doesn't mean you can't have fun...

If you have people who don't drink, you're a whole group who doesn't drink or you want to better cater for those that only have the occasional drink or have to drive, then we can tailor special experiences inclusive of alcohol and other more enticing non-alcoholic beverages, as well as countless food experiences and options for you!

Can this now be considered an iconic Brisbane/Queensland dish?

is popular in local restaurants because of its high-quality, tender meat that is both flavourful and versatile. The quail, raised in the Brisbane Valley region, is known for its fine texture and delicate taste, making it a sought-after ingredient in various gourmet dishes. Plus, it is also the World's largest quail which makes it even better to work with and eat!

We are continuing to see this feature on many Brisbane restaurant's menus, and maybe, if this continues it will surely become a bonafide Brisbane iconic ingredient.

There’s something truly magical about finding the perfect drink to complement your meal, and let me tell you, the Eikun 70 Junmai Sake is a pure delight—smooth and refreshing, making it the ideal partner for these sashimi tacos.

What I love most about this junmaishu sake is its intention to be enjoyed during a meal without being an overpowering pairing option for lighter dishes. When served chilled, the mild dryness and lively crispness of the Eikun 70 shines, creating a symphony of taste when paired with the delicate textures and flavors of fresh seafood. 🌊🌮

Have you tried this sake, or have another great food pairing one to share?

One of the things we love about Spring are the warm (but not yet too warm) afternoons for catch ups with friends.

Here in Brisbane, one the best types of places to do this is at a rooftop bar to take full advantage of the views and any breeze that may be around.

Just a few of our favourite rooftop bars include:

*Sunsets Rooftop Bar
*The Terrace Rooftop Bar & Restaurant
*Soko Rooftop 📸 via
*Iris Rooftop 📸 via

And of course, there is the new and shiny option of the Sky Deck 🍸🍻🍹🍷
