The Best Restaurants in Ipswich, Brisbane (QLD)

On the Bremer River, Ipswich is 40km or a 25-minute drive from Brisbane. An elegant urban city with big old, beautiful homes, it’s Queensland’s oldest provincial city. Once a mining settlement, the neighbourhood is dotted with many historical parks, gardens and galleries. With everything from fine dining with locally sourced fresh foods to brew pubs available, it’s no wonder the locals call the food district the “top end of town”.

Once upon a time Pauline Hanson’s fish and chip shop could be found in Ipswich. With a growing foodie scene, there are new cafes springing up all the time. For a lunch or dinner with the family or friends, choose from a selection of grand old pubs, German, Indian, Italian or Greek cuisine. If you get the chance to stay for a couple of days, Ipswich is a great destination for a weekend away from Brisbane.
