It's been some years since my last "foodie" group outing in Brisbane, and the scene here has changed somewhat with more variety and budget options. My friend's had choosen Detour as our venue. Not sure what category it actually classify as, but to me it feeds like a hipster bar meets Mod Oz fusion. Interesting cocktail selections, and the staff were quick with taking those. It was a shared plate menu, what impressed the most wasn't some of the more exotic ingredients or combos (black ants, emu), but the fact they offer both a meat & a vegetarian menu of equal length. Being a big group we ordered about 3/4 of the menu. My favs for the night were the Gunpowder Salmon with the green curry &...

Musings on @detourrestaurant This place has been on my hitlist for a little while now, with a menu full of unique dishes (both herbivore and omnivore) designed to be shared, this place is exceptional. On this occasion, we had the Emu Tartare with Burnt Shallot, Chilli and Yolk. A robust dish, with the Shallot balancing nicely with the Emu and richness of the yolks. Next up was the Coal Roasted Broccoli with Miso, Spinach, Seaweed, Quinoa. While this was my least favourite dish, it was still terrific. The Quinoa is crunchy, and the overall texture of the dish was fantastic. The final two savoury dishes were, without doubt, the best two of the evening.. The vegetarian Hawaiian Curry...read mor...
The decor is beautiful and the service was good. The menu is simple but everything sounded delicious. We tried the scallops, pumpkin, carrots and fries. Scallops were beautiful with pork belly. The vegetarian dishes were inventive and tasty however they lacked protein which you definitely need for a main course. Fries were crunchy and yum. Dessert was pannacotta which was top notch. The meringue with yuzu I didn’t enjoy as much, the yuzu is very sour and overpowering and override the delicate flavour of the meringue.

Finally, a Brisbane restaurant that takes Plant based vegan food seriously. The chefs took great pride in preparing our Chargrilled Broccoli with miso sauce and crunchy dried quinoa. My partner had the Octopus, which was outstanding. If you want quality dishes with attention to detail and mind blowing flavours. Get down to detour! :)
In the Gabba precinct this is a great new addition to the area. Nice fit out, relaxed and flexible menu. Good wine list with options by the glass and a few quirks to add interest. Food is for sharing and we enjoyed it all. Professional and friendly service too... Will be back!
Lovely food and wine, however the thing that made our night was our waitor. What a great older gentleman he was! He was so sincere, personable and warm. He made us feel like we were having a real family meal. He really made our night.
Beautiful food and great service , would highly recommend the salmon and crab , capsicum martini was exceptional and wait staff are very friendly . Will dine there again !

Delicious food and great venue! The menu was a little bit intimidating at first, but I really enjoyed each of the courses we got! Can’t wait to return!
our bill for 2 people was $161. it automatically added a $45tip. I was told I could cancel, but that's not the point why it was there?
