Vindie Restaurant, tucked away in an unexpected spot at 389 Cornwall Street, is a retro-style eatery that evokes memories of Brisbane’s suburban dining scene from the 70s and 80s.
Stepping into Vindie feels like entering a time capsule, with its split-level brick walls, carpeted floors, and charming decor. Guests are warmly greeted by the chef, whose global culinary expertise shines through in every dish, and his gracious wife, the Maitre’D.
The menu is a fusion of East-meets-West, offering a delightful array of starters such as the famed spring rolls, crispy chicken wings, and smoked salmon. Mains boast an eclectic mix—from pan-fried salmon in lemon cream sauce to comforting classics like lamb or beef pie and pasta napolatana.
