La Boca Is Leading The Charge Of South American Dining In Brisbane
A fiery affair
By Bianca Licina | 31st March 2025For years, Brisbane’s food scene has been ruled by pan-Asian eateries – so much so that it’s hard to remember a time when another cuisine held the spotlight. But there’s a new contender stepping up to the plate, ready to shake things up.
Enter South American cuisine.
Vibrant, bold, and deeply rooted in tradition, South American flavours are capturing the hearts (and appetites) of food lovers all over. And leading the charge in Brisbane? La Boca Bar & Grill.
Riverside Argentinian dining
Tucked inside the riverside Stamford Plaza, La Boca has been delivering an authentic taste of Argentina since 2022. The restaurant’s warm yet sophisticated atmosphere has made it a favourite for everything from business lunches to family gatherings and celebrations. It’s the kind of place where you settle in, share plates of smoky, charred goodness, and let the rich flavours transport you straight to the streets of Buenos Aires.
At La Boca, fire is at the heart of everything. The restaurant champions the traditional Asador technique – an ancient Argentinian method of cooking over open flames that creates deep, smoky flavours while keeping meats irresistibly tender on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside. Peek inside their open-plan kitchen and watch the skilled chefs work their skills with fire.
Behind the flames
And leading this fiery operation? Head Chef Victor Ng. Victor brings a wealth of experience, having trained in French cuisine in Malaysia before mastering fire-based cooking in Singapore. His passion for Asador cooking is undeniable, and at La Boca, he blends authentic Argentine traditions with just the right touch of modern innovation. Every dish is a balance of heritage, technique, and bold, mouthwatering flavour.
Now, La Boca is turning up the heat once again with an exciting new menu – one that stays true to its roots while introducing fresh twists on classic flavours. We asked La Boca there must-try dishes from their new menu:
