Editorial Review
Siggi's at the Port Office was first opened in Brisbane to much hoopla and fanfare in 1988. Back then it was an extremely exciting event, as nothing of that standard had been seen before. Taking advantage of the historical building which once was the Port Office for Brisbane, the restaurant is an intricately reconstructed version of a 19th century dining room with antique mosaics, paintings and rich carpet. Still one of Brisbane's top restaurants today, the standards have remained impeccable and the dining room itself is as impressive as ever.
The menu is a neat and concise conglomeration of Queensland's finest produce and flavours. For starters the tortellini of Moreton Bay Bug with verjus and citrus butter, plus a crispy leek and herb salad topped with Yarra Valley salmon roe, can't be passed up. The crunchiness of the leek combined with the turgidness of the roe creates an enjoyable palette of flavour. For mains there are many delectable choices such as the Chateau Briand for two, or the asiette de pecheur of prawns, bugs, scallop, snapper and shellfish in a roasted tomato and fennel bouillabaisse. It is an absolute must that you leave room for sweets at Siggi's, where they spend just as much creative energy and passion on inventing desserts as on the rest of the menu.
