Lunch At esquire In Brisbane
A visit to esquire restaurant is a treat for the senses from the minute you walk in the door.There’s an ever-changing art instalment on the main wall, and a walk to the restaurant takes you past a collage of bones from fish and birds that have been served here. Sounds weird? It’s not – it’s fascinating, and a great talking point. I can’t help but wonder about who has to clean the bench and reassemble the collage!! The restaurant has a more casual side simply called esq, serving similar food to esquire. The owner chef is Brisbane’s own Ryan Squires who has the honour of being awarded three chef’s hats for his contribution to the restaurant industry. It’s wonderful for us that he has settled here after working in some of the most famous restaurants in the world. Every dish is served in a way that makes you taste, discuss and marvel at the delicious flavours, with appreciation for this chef’s creativity and skill. If you love a bit of culinary adventure and surprise, esquire is the place to go. The flavours are so subtle and sublime, and even after seven courses, we didn’t feel uncomfortable, but actually went away satisfied, excited about our dining experience and with our next lunch already booked for the new year!!
