If you’re paddling up Oxley Creek wondering where on earth to eat out west (i.e. woop woop), good thing the leafy and Queenslander-filled suburb of Graceville has you covered.
Three Girls Skipping | Honour Avenue
Hopscotch over to the foodie epicentre of Graceville, the playful Three Girls Skipping. With an all-day breakfast menu and dinner available on Thursday-Saturday nights, there’s plenty of opportunity to try. it. all.
We suggest starting off with their smooth Genovese coffee, paired with one of the specialty twice-baked cheese and chive souffles or any one of their wholesome fruit cakes.
Little Greek Cuzina | Park Terrace
Say hello-umi to Little Greek Cuzina, where you’ll find all the usual Greek favourites as well as more exotic eats like soutzoukakia (don’t ask us to pronounce it). Think tomato salsa covered beef meatballs on a bed of rice, which goes great with the gemista – capsicum or tomatoes stuffed with a mixture of rice, ground beef, herbs and lemon potatoes.
Botellon Restaurant | Honour Avenue
The newest amigo to join the Graceville foodie scene is the all-in-one Spanish tapas wine bar AND breakfast café! Head in early for gorgeous coffee and baked banana truffle pancakes, or sidle in late at night for chargrilled octopus pintxos and fine Spanish Rioja wine.
Fraiche Deli | Graceville Avenue
For a full breakfast menu as well as fraiche-ly made salads, head across the tracks to this cosy deli and café. A regular pit stop for gym-goers and commuters on the way to work, Fraiche Deli are experts at creating seasonal delights, with their winter salad tossed with cauliflower, eggplant, cashew, pomegranate, and a tahini dressing our current top pick.
Miettes Boulangerie | Graceville Avenue
Once you’ve grabbed your breakfast and some shaved Barossa ham from Fraiche Deli, walk right next door for talk-of-the-town baguettes, cakes, pies, sourdough, croissants, rolls…okay you get the picture. Sorry gluten avoiders, this place might not be for you, but for everyone else, it’s dough best.
Lick! Ice Cream | Honour Avenue
The creators of the EKKA’s iconic strawberry sundaes? It doesn’t get any better than this. Head on in, lickety-split, and opt for any one of their endless flavours to discover how these bad boys of the ice cream game earnt their exclamation (!) mark.
