Matching those Monday feels, hôntô offers a moody, intimate dining experience. On the menu, you’ll find Head Chef Tom Jack’s contemporary take on classic Japanese that will be sure to make taste buds beam with joy. Open every Monday from 5.30pm to 9pm, dishes are made from seasonal and local ingredients and are designed for sharing so you can try a little bit of everything. From fresh tuna handrolls to white fish ceviche and mouth-watering salmon tacos, you’ve got one helluva meal in store. Feeling indecisive? Try the banquet menus from $84 per person.

Wind down from your Monday by kicking back with a glass of chardy as you people-watch over James Street. Fortitude Valley’s It bar for al fresco dining and good vibes, CRU Bar & Cellar is a laid-back eatery loved by locals for its stylish feel, delish dishes, and stellar wine offerings. How does blue swimmer crab spaghetti with anchovy and herb butter paired with a chilled white sound for your Monday evening? 

Along Eagle Street Pier in the heart of Brisbane City lies Moo Moo The Wine Bar + Grill; the perfect after-work dining spot for the classy carnivore. Serving up their signature steaks and locally caught Mooloolaba prawns paired with the perfect wine, this is the recipe to make it a Monday to remember.

I found my love in Portofino (that Portifino is called Ciao Papi). What better way to kick off your week than riverside with crispy arancini, a hearty bowl of pasta, and a refreshing spritz in hand, surrounded by great company? Open every day of the week from midday till late, Ciao Papi is the perfect spot to make your Monday nights special with authentic Italian flavours. 

Is your Monday evening calling for something a little fancier? James Street’s sAme sAme is just the venue to frock up for and have some fun. With an exciting menu full of modern Thai dishes, an impressive wine selection, and a vibrant atmosphere, you can pretend that the weekend has arrived early. FACT: the sAme sAme chicken burger and turmeric curry can cure symptoms of Monday-itis (trialled and tested by Style). 

Get ready to infuse your Monday with the energetic vibes of Tokyo’s music bars right here at Howard Smith Wharves. Stroll the riverfront, and suddenly, you’ll stumble upon this gem of an izakaya. And get this—Yoko isn’t just about the food (although, trust me, it’s mouthwateringly good). It’s about the experience. The split-level setup adds to the fun, creating an atmosphere that’s impossible to resist. Grab your friends, head down to Howard Smith Wharves, and let Yoko show you how Mondays are meant to be spent.

Opa! Zest up your Mondays from 11.30 am to late at Greca, where you can enjoy some of Brisbane’s best Greek cuisine, from wharfside souvlaki to their famous crispy potatoes.

Craving Cantonese? Stanley’s got you covered every single day, from lunch to dinner. And guess what? Mondays just got a whole lot better with stunning riverfront views and mouthwatering bites, perfectly complemented by a glass of Louis Roederer. You absolutely can’t miss out on their crowd-pleaser: the Black Angus beef stir-fried with oyster mushrooms and that savoury black pepper sauce – it’s a flavour explosion!
