Agnes Restaurant

Food was overall simple yet a good quality and you can tell everything was prepared with lots of effort and skills. - Oysters, butter were especially good - my boyfriend loved the ox tongue, wagyu shortloin and chocolate dessert Ambience was great and service was flawless. (At first it felt the restaurant was quite dark but later on you’d see it makes you focus on the things that matters, kitchen with all the chefs preparing food, a person in front of you and most importantly the food at the table) Bathroom was a cherry on top, very nice and clean. One of the few restaurants where uses aesop hand wash :) haha It ended up being quite pricy, perhaps it was better off ordering the set menu.

An exceptional venue with a warm, inviting, and elegant atmosphere — ideal for a romantic evening. The service is impeccable, delivered by a highly professional yet friendly team. The cuisine is of outstanding quality, showcasing remarkable attention to detail and flavor. It is also worth highlighting the terrace, an excellent setting to begin the night. Highly recommended, with pricing that reflects the quality of the overall experience.

Loved the ambience and service. Great selection of wine as well. Sadly the cold smoked venison was a tad too salty and my quail was very overcooked and tough. The ox tongue was great, while snap peas weren’t outstanding in any way but a good accompaniment for the tongue. Really wanted to love the restaurant but it fell short of expectations!

A truly elevated dining experience. Hats off to the kitchen team. The Wagyu 6+ was cooked beautifully medium rare, full of flavour and perfectly rested. The duck was rich, tender, and balanced well with the acidity of the fruit. Each dish was thoughtful and visually stunning, a real credit to the chefs. That said, the service could have been more polished. The lady who introduced herself as the one looking after our table was difficult to reach. Despite seeing that we had been waiting for quite a while for dessert, she did not follow up or check in until we gently reminded. Overall, a memorable meal. Just a bit more attentiveness from the front of house would have made the experience flawless.

Agnes is easily one of my favourite restaurants in Brisbane. I’ve been a few times now and it never disappoints. I personally love coming here for lunch; the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed and the space feels brighter during the day. The food is centred around seasonal produce and cooked over fire, which gives everything a beautiful flavour. Some people might see it as pricey, but I think it’s great value considering the quality of the ingredients, and how consistently good the food is. It’s always hard to choose a favourite dish because everything is so darn yummy, but some recent highlights for me have been the baked oysters, the peach-smoked tomato toast with anchovies, the scored red emperor, pipis with sweet corn velouté, house potatoes, and the John Dory with lemon butter and parsley. Every dish is balanced and scrumptious. The drinks list is also really good! Well chosen wines, interesting cocktails, and even good coffee to have with dessert later. Service is always spot on: the staff are attentive without being overbearing, and they know the menu which i appreciate. What I also love is that the food feels elevated without the pretentiousness; it's a place that takes food seriously but still feels warm and welcoming. If you haven’t been, definitely make a booking. It’s popular for a reason:)

To the team at Agnes, I just wanted to send a note to say thank you for the incredible dinner we had recently. We brought some international guests to your restaurant, hoping to show them a great time, and you completely blew us all away. The food and drinks were absolutely fantastic, but it was the service that truly made our night. Our server, (Alex I believe) was amazing—so attentive, friendly, and genuinely on top of everything. It's not often you experience that level of care. Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the service was. Thanks again for a memorable night.

The service and atmosphere were really great! We ordered the full tasting menu and majority of the dishes were really good. Overall, I would say for the price I wish it were better

From the moment we arrived, we were met with exemplary hospitality from the entire team. The exceptionally warm and welcoming host set a positive tone for the evening. The manager graciously provided us with an insightful tour of the kitchen, explaining its meticulous organization and operations. Every member of the waitstaff demonstrated remarkable attentiveness, ensuring our needs were met and thoughtfully describing each dish. I must especially commend India, our main waitress, whose professionalism and care significantly enhanced our dining experience. The cuisine itself can only be described as an extraordinary EXPERIENCE. The masterful interplay of smoky flavors, the exquisite balance of textures, and the expertly curated wine pairings collectively elevated Agnes far beyond any expectation. This was not merely a meal, but a memorable journey of taste and refinement—one that truly sets Agnes apart as a pinnacle of culinary excellence.
