Enjoyed a delicious early lunch and coffee in the surrounds of the gallery representing meaningful and stunning stories imagined by talented indigenous artists. This is a special place and space to bring visitors of Brisbane to experience. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the Kangaroo Gochujang Pasta and the Roast Heritage Carrots with Emu with outstandingly smooth coffees.

Birrunga Gallery, Café & First Nations Gallery 19 Cribb st Milton. Birrunga Gallery is a First Nations art and Cultural hub.

Well worth the visit.

It is always a pleasure visiting Birrunga Gallery and Dining.
You are met with friendly, welcoming faces and good hospitality.
The coffee is great and the food a cultural immersion.
Birrunga and team of artists are always generous in sharing their stories and art with visitors.

Beautiful space, beautifully curated. The warmth and welcome is apparant the minute you step inside this gorgeous gallery. We proudly showcase works of both emerging and master artists in our brand new office in the CBD. Visitors from overseas, interstate and local have been treated to a fantastic experience when visiting as we're able to share some of the stories and art works we now proudly hang in our large entrance/forum space. It's the best 'welcome mat' we can offer clients and members alike. We've been able to do this by embracing a mutual conversation over several years and now we have the opportunity to hire some beautiful pieces of art through Birrunga's recently launched corporate hiring opportunities. I encourage anyone wishing to experience the warmth, generosity and truly wonderful works of First Nation Artists to take some time out of your day, and visit Birrunga Gallery; but don't stop there - the catering is exquisite - I can attest to this - we willingly and gladly offer our VIP's Birrunga catering - I promise, you won't be disappointed. Many thanks again to Suz, Birrunga and the whole team. We look forward, here at Arup, to continuing our journey alongside Birrunga Gallery. Always was, always will be.

Amazing art works. Amazing gallery. The team go out of their way to help. Was there for dinner with friends and the waiter took a special request to the kitchen and chef just made it.
The art is phenomenal - really lands culture.
I love the way the gallery supports the next generation of artists.
Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Truly Exceptional!
This venue is a perfect fusion of culture, flavor, and creativity.

The Indigenous-inspired menu delivers authentic, beautifully crafted dishes that highlight native ingredients in the most delicious way.

The art gallery is filled with stunning First Nations pieces, making the experience so much more than just dining, it’s a cultural journey.

The team is warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, which made the visit unforgettable.

I’ll definitely be back soon.

Birrunga Gallery is an absolute treasure and a must-visit for anyone who values art, culture, and connection. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are embraced by an atmosphere that radiates warmth, respect, and authenticity. This is not just a gallery—it’s a living, breathing celebration of First Nations culture and creativity.

The artwork is breathtaking, telling powerful stories that speak to history, resilience, and identity. Every piece feels deeply personal and invites you to pause, reflect, and truly appreciate the richness of Indigenous heritage. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

The food is equally extraordinary—crafted with care, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. It’s clear that the culinary team takes pride in every detail, blending tradition with contemporary flair in a way that feels both comforting and inspiring.

The service? Absolutely impeccable. The staff are not only professional but genuinely passionate about what they do. They make you feel welcome, valued, and part of something special. Their knowledge and willingness to share stories add so much depth to the experience.

Birrunga Gallery is more than a destination—it’s a cultural journey. Whether you’re here for the art, the food, or the people, you’ll leave feeling enriched and uplifted. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Five stars, without hesitation!

I had the pleasure of visiting Birrunga at his Birrunga Art gallery. Excellent location close to the CBD but not in the craziness of the city. Artwork adorns the walls of various artists of different styles and Birrunga’s own works. What’s really good about Birrunga’s place is food, delicious food and gooood coffee. I had breakfast, but there is also a lunch menu. Staff were friendly and I had experience with Birrunga himself and his yarns about art and his cultural journey. 5 stars for me!

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the surrounds of the gallery representing meaningful and stunning storyline’s of the talented artists both world renowned and emerging under the guidance of Birrunga. This is a special place to bring clients and partners or visitors to Brisbane. But equally casual for a delicious and connected start to the day. I had the Sunny Benny and it was outstanding coupled with a generous coffee.

Amazing Indigenous owned Gallery, Cafe Restaurant in the heart of Brisbane This is an Incredible gallery featuring up and coming as well as established local Indigenous artists. I met Manager Suzanne whole showed around and I was lucky enough to meet Birrunga Wiradjuri the principle artist who shared the story behind one of his works. A very moving experience.

Seems like it used to be a large gallery with a cafe but it‘s now much smaller, now only the cafe is left with a few artworks. Nice to visit when nearby but not worth coming from afar.

Walked in and was greeted warmly by staff. The art is beautiful and holds deep meaning. Highly recommend the tacos that offer three different meats! 🙌💕 favourite meat was 🐊, it really does taste like chicken lol

I couldn't drink wine as much as I paid. I could only drink a limited few of those wines and you didn't tell me that befor I paid.
You must show photos how small the plate is. If I saw that, I would not visit your gallery.

Outstanding and inspirational artwork to look at before you get your food that is a holiday for the taste buds.

We had a delicious lunch including some really interesting and tasty food. The art was also excellent. Everything was lovely including the owner who took the time to have a great chat with us. Highly recommend!!

Love this spot. Beautiful art, delicious food. Immaculate vibes & great friendly service. Very unique place. I came for a weekday breakfast and made my own with toast, poached egg, spinach, mushrooms and emu. The emu was smoky, charred and savoury with a hint of spices (not spicy) just absolutely mouth-watering. Took some time to wander around and take a gander at the art and never felt rushed. There are lots of interesting merch available to purchase, home goods, cosmetics, clothing, bags, jewellery. It’s a whole experience and you should plan to spend a fair bit of time here to enjoy it.

Amazing spot. Well curated art, awesome space and delicious food. We popped in for a tour with one of the artists for a work event, and would highly recommend doing this. Awesome sharing of the stories behind the artworks giving a great appreciation of both the art and country. Will definitely be back.

The gallery is worth visiting on a regular basis as the displayed art work changes. Whilst there you can enjoy a coffee and a snack or a more substantial meal. There is also a fine selection of wines by the glass or bottle to accompany your meal.

Perfect light lunch Quiet little place tucked in a basement. Food perfectly prepared- I went with the unadventurous option - lamb cutlets and a salad- both were excellent. Also at the table a perfectly cooked roo steak. Indigenous artworks, bags and jewellery around the walls , available for purchase .

Great place for a quiet lunch.

Superb breakfast in a great surrounding Found this place unexpectedly, and couldn't argue with the value on the brekky roll and coffee combo. Food was excellent, coffee was great and I enjoyed looking at the art work whilst I was waiting. Service prompt and friendly. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience Artwork amazing and food that makes it all a great experience. Tried the crocodile, it was delicious. The food all looked nice and well presented. Prices were reasonable.

We loved this Gallery. Its quite small but had a exhibition of artwork from our Indigenous artist. Had a big impact on my son. We talked about the issues raised. Had some juice and water. The chef was kind enough to offer us a parting gift in the likes of a gluten free banana bread. My son had it when we got back and was very impressed with the taste.
The staff was very accommodating, kind and polite. Highly recommended a visit if your in Brisbane.

We were invited to an opening night here. Being a relatively new Brisbanite, I was keen to explore this space... it was our first visit. The Gallery/bar/restaurant was easy to find, well signed at # 300 Adelaide Street.
The space was warm and welcoming. My partner LOVED the space and vowed that he'd love to visit everytime we come in to the city.
This was an opening night for Indigenous artists. It was such a privilege to hear stories of country, and see such beautiful, raw, thought provoking storytelling through art.
The hosts of the evening provided great food ( finger food including cooked crocodile bitesize chunks on sticks). (Apparently it is the healthiest food).
We're keen to return and sample the coffee and view more great art.

Lunch getaway This place is very nice, tucked away downstairs. Food is excellent, the ambience is lovely and the First Nations artist has adorned the walls with fantastic artwork. The chef came out and ensured his creations were being enjoyed. I had the kangaroo sliders, these were very enjoyable.

Relaxed Cafe amongst beautiful indigenous artworks Wow, was so happy I've found this place. We only went for coffee and a muffin (delicious) but I'll definitely be back for more.. sitting in such a cool, relaxed atmosphere, able to look around at the wonderful artwork was just a lovely experience. The staff were really helpful and friendly. This is new my favourite place.. I would suggest if you like a really strong coffee, get an extra shot.. I did and it was lovely but I think it would be a little mild if I hadn't.. but then I like strong coffee.. not everyone does. We also got a muffin to share ($4) which was huge and really tasty.. I bought a trio of the jams which I can't wait to try.. Make sure you visit this one, it's well worth it.. I only hope it doesn't get too busy and I won't get a seat..

Great gallery with a nice layout for functions, meetings and art. Nice food ! Very informational about first Australians, their culture and history. I loved the casual atmosphere.

Birrunga Dining - Indigenous Flavours more deserving of better treatment. I was excited to visit Birrunga Dining in the basement Henderson Gallery, Adelaide Street, Brisbane.
The cafe chairs and tables are set within the gallery per se, meaning you have some pretty interesting art to appreciate whilst you're having a bite to eat.
Indigenous foods are featured in the menu, and to that effect I was keen to try one of the 'Outback' burgers. Kangaroo, Crocodile and Emu burgers were all available. I regularly eat 'roo and find crocodile a little too bland and 'vanilla' (safe) choice so went for the Emu ($16) - a housemade pattie on a soft damper roll with beetroot, red slaw and Davidson Plum jam (with chips).
The burger pattie was fairly small within the bun, and very dry to eat. I understand Emu is a very lean meat (as is roo and crocodile meat) but there was nothing to lubricate the contents. The miniscule smear of Davidson Plum Jam was barely discernable, and the 'red slaw' lacking in much of anything to bind. Large stems attached to spinach leaves (Warrigal?) did nothing to help matters, and the beetroot was tinned if I'm not mistaken. The accompanying fries were blond and very undercooked - so much so they were hard and completely unpalatable. I had to take my plate to the counter to tell the staff, who advised they were a 'new brand' and obviously needed more time in the fryer. They were promptly replaced (thank you). Upon leaving I discovered a new apprentice was in the kitchen running solo on his 3rd day which goes some way to explain matters. But not really good enough in a venue that is showcasing both indigenous art and food as a point of difference and wishing to attract international visitors who may find the experience underwhelming - as I did.
The Gallery is currently closed until the beginning of September 2019 and the cafe will be re-branded so I will give them another go.
Service was fairly uninformed but well-meaning and the young lady who took my order had a lovely genuine smile which makes a world of difference anywhere these days.
