Where to eat and stay in Brisbane
1,320 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Brisbane, Queensland — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.
We hold 1,320 venues in Brisbane — 1,198 places to eat and 122 to stay. That is more than anywhere else in Queensland, and 11% of everything mapped across the region. Nationally it sits 3rd out of 6,269 places.
Of the places to eat, 35% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. Brisbane is 5 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 416 cafés, 443 restaurants, 179 takeaways, 96 bars and 64 pubs.
600 of the 1,198 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (90), japanese (46) and pizza (40). Relative to the rest of the country Brisbane is unusually strong on patisserie, croissant and dumpling — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.
On the practical detail: 397 publish opening hours (30%), 116 are recorded as step-free, 254 have outdoor seating and 86 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 17% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.
For a bed, Brisbane runs to 122 listings — 68 hotels, 19 motels, 12 b&bs and guest houses, 17 hostels and 6 serviced apartments. Hotels dominate, at 56% of the town's accommodation.
All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 60 of the 1,320 venues in Brisbane carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
