Restaurant DanArnold

On Ann Street in Fortitude Valley, this is the eponymous room of chef Dan Arnold, who spent several years cooking in France before opening here in 2018. The format is modern Australian tasting menus shaped by French technique and seasonal local produce, served in a relaxed rather than formal setting. It holds two hats in the 2026 Australian Good Food Guide and has been reviewed in the national press, placing it among Brisbane's stronger fine-dining rooms. Dinner runs Wednesday to Saturday, with lunch added Friday and Saturday. The scale is small and chef-owned, and booking ahead is necessary. It suits a considered dinner rather than a casual drop-in.
