Brisbane Restaurants for a first date, valentines day or someone special

Brisbane is located in the south-east corner of Queensland, Australia, and is the capital city of that state. The city of Brisbane tends to run along the Brisbane River which divides the city in two. Brisbane benefits from the pleasant weather of the southern parts of Queensland, and as such is primarily designed as an out door city. Brisbane has many kilometres of bike and walking paths running alongside the river. The Southbank of Brisbane River is a popular area for locals and tourists alike. Many of the eateries in Brisbane take advantage of the glorious year round weather and splendid outlooks over the river.
