Reviews
"We had the best time here. Food was incredible and service was also top notch. We tired a large selection of dishes and I was blown away by how simple fares like butter and bread, Brussel sprouts and potato mash were elevated to this state. The mains we tried (dry aged beef and duck breast) were also amazing. As well as phenomenal food, the drinks menu comprises many intriguing cocktails and they were prepared all in good time. The Arsonist is definitely a venue that hits on many levels."
"Certainly disagree with the hype in the other reviews It was nice without being great - certainly not a 6 Head, Firedoor or Bistecca The tomahawk was cooked well and value for money. Unfortunately, the chicken wasn’t cooked evenly and a quarter was still very much undercooked Clearly, understaffed, which impact upon service. Very limited wine offering, but very reasonably priced"
"The most amazing Resturant I have been to in ages. If you are looking for the best restaurant in Brisbane you have to try The Arsonist. From the minute you walk through the door, you are hit with a wall of the most amazing smells. The food was beyond amazing, the team in Luke, Julia and Tristan gave service that was fitting of a 3 Star Michelin restaurant. If I could give them 6 stars I would. Will definitely be coming back for another visit soon. The also have an amazing whisky selection there."
"4.25 ⭐️ - Great ambiance, unique menu & attentive staff. We got the banquet and definitely worth the price! We also got the dry aged steak which was tasty too! Some dishes tasted as it looked. My highlights from the banquet: ♡ Woodfire figs - exceptional! Interesting combination of ingredients but it works well together ♡ Smoked brisket - was a tad dry but was seasoned well and the meat fell apart ♡ Chocolate pudding - too heavy and dense for me"
"Best restaurant we've been to in a while. Had one of the degustation menus, which gave a great selection of what's on the menu. Each dish had been meticulously thought through with amazing flavours. Photo is the Whiskey caramel chocolate malt dessert and was as good as it looked. Service was great. Definitely recommend for all foodies."
