Restaurant 1889 blurs the line between traditional bistro and fine dining establishment. A bit flash, but not hoity-toity.

    Perfect date night spot : we ordered the $95.00 chef’s ‘Feed Me’ option and we were not disappointed. Every plate was executed perfectly, with impeccable flavour combos and fresh produce! Tree nut allergy was catered for easily. Bread starter was fluffy and crusty, paired with the Stracciatella with beets - DELICIOUS Entres were incredible, the prawn toast and truffle cheese doughnuts were standouts Strip steak was tender and juicy, and the fish was so soft and cooked to perfection. Dessert was the highlight, the chocolate tart was real CHOCOLATE- dark, but light and airy! Shortbread crust with oozing miso caramel - what a combo. We didn’t leave any food behind.

    One of Townsville best kept secrets! Lovely refined but relaxed atmosphere, good food and excellent service. Good wine selection. It’s our go-to place for out of town visitors or date night. And nice to have a drink before or after in the brewery.
