You have just a week to dine at this celebrated Brisbane restaurant before it receives a major facelift from a gun local designer.
The kitchen is also being refurbished to improve its design and lean further into wood fire and charcoal cooking, and away from gas and electricity.
“If I was to explain it to someone, I want [diners] to feel like they’re sitting in one of the ancient ruins in [Lebanon’s] Beqaa Valley,” Moubarak says. “But it’s our interpretation of the Beqaa Valley.”Gerard’s has evolved with the Brisbane dining scene over the course of its 11-year existence. Celebrated chef Ben Williamson made his mark during the restaurant’s early days with his progressive interpretations of Middle Eastern food.
Diners may have wondered if the restaurant’s best years were behind it when Williamson departed in late 2018 to open his own restaurant, Agnes , but Moubarak then hired star Sydney chef Adam Wolfers , who channelled his Ashkenazi and Sephardi backgrounds to push the Gerard’s menus in new directions.The temporary closure will mark the end of an era for one of Brisbane’s most celebrated modern restaurants.“Ben really delved deep into Middle Eastern cuisine.
Gerard’s Bar, located just across Little James Street, will open seven days a week for the duration of the Gerard’s Bistro refurb, running an expanded menu that includes dishes from the restaurant.“We’ve had so much support from the community at large. And that’s what makes me proud, the support from our hometown people. It’s been so heartening.”
