If your love language is ‘tiny cakes and fancy vibes’, then Bacchus is your Valentine’s Day MVP. Forget the standard dinner date; we’re talking about an afternoon of pure, unadulterated indulgence in the most refined seats in Brisbane.

Our favourites from the spread? The fusion banh mi, salmon rillettes with smoked caviar, and Wagyu pastrami sandwiches are standouts. After indulging in your mains, surrender to delectable honey cakes & summertime profiteroles.
With two exclusive sessions, it’s the perfect excuse to dress up, spill the tea, and treat your favourite human. Reserve your tier of treats here.
