About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for creative cocktails
Welcome to Poppies — Southbank's favourite table.
Poppies was born from a simple idea: a place named after our daughter, where every guest feels like family. Damien and Zoey opened the doors on Little Stanley Street with one goal: to create the kind of neighbourhood restaurant they always wished existed. Somewhere warm, unhurried, and genuinely good.
Today, Poppies is Southbank's go-to for all-day brunch, long lunches, and easy evenings. From Allpress specialty coffee at sunrise to signature cocktails long after dark — the food is honest, the welcome is genuine, and the table is always yours.
Whether you're joining us for our famous Bánh Mì Burger, Snow Crab Linguine, or a pre-show dinner before QPAC or BCEC (both a short walk away), there's no rush and no rules. Just great food and good company

    Food came fast, but some meals were missed. Drink orders forgotten. Some people didn't have glasses or cutlery. Food was very average but expensive. Overall would not recommend or go back

    Service was friendly and prompt. Food was much higher compared to local cafes and servings generally small eg there was only enough sourdough for half dips and we were given option of paying for more bread - come on , that’s intentional and not okay. Despite that, was lovely !

    Food was very average and overpriced. The 'crispy skinned barramundi' was burnt around the edges of the skin and uncooked in the middle. The barramundi itself was very overcooked. Vegies still hard and beyond al dente. The steak was very average too. The waitress was fantastic and the drinks were good.
