Oftentimes, the best reasons to visit a new suburb are found by asking locals who know the area like the back of their hand. From hidden gems to specialty spots they visit on the regular, you can trust the people who live there to have insider tips and tricks. And for the northern nook of Banyo, that’s certainly the case!
With everything you need wrapped up in a relaxed and charming atmosphere, there are plenty of reasons to visit this hub that’s tucked away less than 20 minutes from the Brisbane CBD. Discover why the locals can’t get enough of their neighbourhood, with six reasons to visit Banyo below:
Brad’s Fish House
The best fish and chips joint is equal parts delicious tastes and friendly banter, and at Brad’s Fish House, you’ll get both by the bucketload. Hailed for their consistency, affordability, and speedy service, the menu here goes beyond your usual meal deals with zesty fish tacos, loaded burgers, and pan-seared calamari in herby butter also on offer. For a top-notch feed, you can’t go wrong at Brad’s Fish House!

Kokoro Bento
When a craving for fresh and quality Japanese dishes hits, this local favourite has your fix. Kokoro Bento is a welcoming sushi restaurant, boasting tantalising flavours and fusion rolls with an emphasis on excellent service. From the decadent sashimi to their iconic lion king roll (crab meat and avocado baked with salmon and parmesan cheese then topped with kewpie and teriyaki sauce), Kokoro Bento’s chicken katsu has its very own fan base and it’s no wonder why – it’s simply the best!
The Yarn Bowl
