It will a year in October since we were in Bisbane and had dinner at Anise. I still think of our experience regularly. Fantastic food, great service, truly unique experience.

Anise is a quiet little restaurant - not many chairs, a lot of them sit up at the bar experience. Do not go there if you want a quiet intimate dinner, as we shared much of our dinner chat with the bar staff as they were right in front of us. Go for the food, the wines... soooo many to... More

An intimate setting where everyone sits at the bar, seats a maximum of about 24 people and very friendly staff who make you feel right at home. There are 2 seatings, make sure you book ahead. They have a great drinks list and the food is always absolutely amazing. A must-try when you visit Brisbane. More

Another great experience at Anise. Love the snug atmosphere and attentive service. Although we were advised the kitchen were implementing a new menu, the food was of a very high standard and nicely timed. Would recommend booking well in advance for the corner seats if dining with 4 or more. More
