The Best Feed After State of Origin in Brisbane

Origin nights are long. Whether Queensland held on or the Blues nicked it in the final minute, the morning after calls for a proper feed. Poppies Southbank on Little Stanley Street has been the go-to post-Origin breakfast spot for South Bank locals and visitors alike.

We open at 6:15am on weekdays and 7am on weekends. The alfresco terrace is the right setting for a slow morning — coffee, eggs, and a debrief. The cocktail bar opens from 11am if you need something stronger.

Walk-ins are welcome. Bookings recommended for groups of 4 or more, especially in the weeks around Origin.
