From France to Fortitude Valley, sip through Galentine’s Day celebrations with one of our favourite French wine bars in Brisbane, Petite. Despite its name, the interiors are solid with plenty of concrete and heavy wood furnishings. Softened by art deco chandeliers, the true standout is the beautiful yet equally exciting dishes with fan favourites including the Crab Souffle, Pan-fried Gnocchi, Confit Duck, Roast Pumpkin and, of course, the Steak Frites. Whilst you’re here be sure to ask one of the friendly staff members for a wine paring and more information on one of their two banquets available.

Perfectly positioned at the foot of the Story Bridge along the Brisbane River is a classic, two-storey Cantonese eatery called Stanley Restaurant. With head chef Louis Tikaram at Stanley’s helm, this is the ultimate destination for dining out. And, what better reason to visit than the upcoming Galentine’s Day. If you’re planning to visit for lunch, opt for a two-course menu for $49 per person or their sensational Yum Cha. Alternatively, for dinner there’s four different banquet options to choose from.
