It’s that time of the year, folks. Mariah is defrosting, Christmas movies are filling up our Netflix queues, and you can practically smell the roast turkey wafting through the air. That’s right, Christmas is coming!
It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but for those tasked with hosting a family full of guests, or in charge of gathering the group chat for a Yuletide feast, there may be as much stress in the air as holiday spirit.

There are plenty of venues across Brissie ready to put you in a food coma come December 25th – think seafood buffets, seven-course banquets, and merry desserts to leave you feeling extra sweet. And as the good little elves we are, we have rounded up the best – see our list of top Christmas Day feasts Brisbane has to offer this year. Let the festivities begin!
By the way, we consider everyone in this list the best of the best! To make finding your next favourite that much easier, we’ve ordered the list alphabetically by suburb and also have filtering tabs for your convenience. Did we miss someone from the list? Let us know here!
