The complete guide to Eat Street
Eat Street Northshore is a feast in every sense – the sights, smells, tastes and sounds come to life in this container food village every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.
For first-time visitors it can be overwhelming – what to eat with so much choice? Read our guide below and watch Visit Brisbane’s short video to get a true taste of Eat Street Northshore.
Ways to get there
The best way to reach Eat Street using public transport is via CityCat. Cruise along the river to Northshore Hamilton Ferry Terminal, from here it is an easy and flat 250m walk.
By car, set the GPS for Macarthur Ave and follow the signs to Eat Street’s 1200-space free car park.
Arrive prepared

Bring cash, plenty of cash – chances are you’ll walk in, see something delicious, scream "shut up and take my money" for which you don’t want the delay of an ATM queue. Some stalls carry eftpos, but at the very least you require $3 cash to pay entry.
Make a game plan
The best idea is to arrive before you’re hungry, giving you the chance to check out all stalls before making any rash food decisions.
If you’ve got friends with you, try and convince them to share so you can split the cost and get to taste more dishes.

To help pre-plan your Eat Street game plan, our team ventured into the foodie wonderland to create this visual guide and video of our favourite dishes.
Start with a snack
Whet the palette with something light, such as an oyster gourmet plate from Shuck All Oysters...

...or sweet potato fries from the fish shop, Salty Sailor. Both are located towards the ferry terminal.

Keep it savoury, and multicultural
By now you will have wandered around and spotted lots of great food.
Perhaps your next dish of prey will be from the Original Langos stall. These are a deep-fried flat bread that is then topped with all sorts. Check out the 'Fully Loaded' below.

Then of course we've all got a friend who is forever hungry. Fill them up with a plate of fresh paella from Little Lady.

Keeping on the multicultural bandwagon, Kotetsu serves what it calls "Japanese Pizza". The thick pancake-like fritter is made up of cabbage and flour and comes with options including cheese, bacon and corn then covered in Japanese mayo and teriyaki sauce – yum!

For something a little different, try the succulent chicken skewers at Karinderia by the The Filipino Street Food stall. The smokey barbecued sticks are then coated in a delicious sweet sauce.

Opt for classic, tasty feeds
Keep it simple with a plate of piping hot and fresh calamari. Calamari Me near the carpark 2 entrance does it best.

Poulet & Porc keeps Eat Street a little fancy with gourmet European-inspired feeds. Take the below burger of crispy pork belly, crackling, apple slaw, pickles and chipotle aioli on brioche as an example.

Sweeten up your life
There is no shortage of sweets at Eat Street. We didn't stop at one, and neither should you.
Head to Locomades for traditional Greek honey puffs topped with ice cream and smothered in toppings – we heard the woods 'crazy good' mentioned a couple of times.

Look at them, just look at them. How can you resist sharing a GIANT pile of doughnut fries from covered in torched marshmallows from The Doughnut Bar when they look like this!?

Otherwise, Chocolate Komberry Co also do ice cream conuts – 64 layers of Danish pastry, made into a cone and filled with your favourite ice cream. The Golden Gaytime is a personal favoruite.

Last but not least, The Byron Gelato has answered all your hopes and dreams and combined ice cream with tacos. Tuck into a waffle taco dipped in Cadbury chocolate and sprinkles then filled with your favourite ice cream and toppings.
After you've rounded up your goodies, find a spot under the twinkling fairy lights, listen to the live entertainment and eat till your stomachs ready to explode.
