Father's Day Brunch
Brisbane 2026
Sunday 7 September 2026. South Bank is one of Brisbane's best precincts to spend Father's Day — riverside walks, a relaxed alfresco setting, and a long family meal at a table that's been saved just for you.
Father's Day in South Bank is a proper day out. The Parklands are at their September best, the river is right there, and the whole precinct has a relaxed, unhurried feel that suits the occasion perfectly. Whether you're planning a quiet brunch for two or a big family lunch, here's our guide to making the most of it.

Father's Day at Poppies

Something Special
We're working on a Father's Day offer that's a little different. We're not quite ready to share the details yet — but we think Dad will like it. Sign up to our newsletter below to be the first to know when it drops.
Why Poppies for Father's Day?
Poppies Southbank is a proper all-day restaurant on Little Stanley Street — not a pop-up, not a set-menu-only special. On Father's Day we're open from 7am, which means you can come in for a relaxed morning brunch, a long family lunch, or a late afternoon meal before the day winds down.
The alfresco terrace is one of the best outdoor dining spots in South Bank. It's shaded, spacious, and right on the street — the kind of place where you can sit for two hours without feeling rushed. We have a full kids menu and high chairs, so if you're bringing the whole family, everyone's looked after.
And if Dad's idea of a good Father's Day involves a cold beer and a proper steak, we've got that covered too.

South Bank on Father's Day
September is one of the best months to be in South Bank. The weather is warming up, the Parklands are green, and the riverside walk is at its best. After brunch or lunch at Poppies, the whole precinct is right there — the Queensland Museum, the Gallery of Modern Art, Streets Beach, and the Parklands.
It's a full day out without having to drive anywhere. Park once, eat well, and let South Bank do the rest.
