Why it matters: this is Brisbane CBD’s only First Nations owned and operated gallery and cafe, founded by Wiradyuri artist Birrunga Wiradyuri as a working art space and dining room in one. By day it’s a cafe serving modern Australian food with native ingredients, while the walls double as a rotating gallery of contemporary Indigenous art you can actually buy. Come for coffee and breakfast, browse the genuine artefacts and prints, and book ahead for the Thursday or Friday night dinner. Local tip: ask about the artist talks and cultural tours rather than just passing through for lunch.
