Welcome to Poppies — Southbank's favourite table.Poppies was born from a simple idea: a place named after our daughter, where every guest feels like family. Damien and Zoey opened the doors on Little Stanley Street with one goal: to create the kind of neighbourhood restaurant they always wished existed. Somewhere warm, unhurried, and genuinely good.Today, Poppies is Southbank's go-to for all-day brunch, long lunches, and easy evenings. From Allpress specialty coffee at sunrise to signature cocktails long after dark — the food is honest, the welcome is genuine, and the table is always yours.Whether you're joining us for our famous Bánh Mì Burger, Snow Crab Linguine, or a pre-show dinner before QPAC or BCEC (both a short walk away), there's no rush and no rules. Just great food and good company

    The experience was absolutely incredible. The wait staff were extremely polite and made the experience feel very special for us, as it was a birthday event. The food was absolutely incredible, it was flavourful and well presented. It all tasted incredible. We started with bruschetta, and had the barramundi and lamb ragu. Each meal with amazing and absolutely worth the price. The experience overall was perfect and an incredible dinner for my partner and I.
