Golden Avenue is a Middle Eastern restaurant at 67 Edward Street in Brisbane City, with cooking inspired by the Levant and North Africa. Greenery, skylights and an open charcoal kitchen give the spacious dining room a garden-terrace feel. Order shared mezze, then try a clay-pot serving of Spring Bay mussels or wood-fired bread. The fried quail and fried fish borek are other standout choices, and a banquet lets you sample a wider range of dishes.
A garden-inspired dining room
Golden Avenue sits at 67 Edward Street in Brisbane City. Its spacious interior pairs greenery and tiered terraces with pink granite, skylights and a contemporary, pared-back structure. The planted details and filtered light give the room a garden-terrace character, while the open charcoal kitchen brings the cooking into view.
The restaurant covers a large space, but the layout can still feel intimate at the table. It suits a meal with friends or a special occasion, and the menu’s shared format gives a group a way to taste several dishes together.
Cooking over wood and charcoal
The menu takes inspiration from across the Middle East, including the Levant and the Maghreb. Wood ovens and charcoal grills shape the kitchen’s cooking. House-made saj, pita and potato bread are baked to order in the wood-fired oven, a good starting point for a table ordering mezze.
For something fresh from the sea, Spring Bay mussels arrive cooked in a clay pot with fennel, roasted rice cream and lemon. Fried quail brings spice, peppers and Levantine flavours to the plate. Kibbeh nayyeh is another option, served with Urfa chilli and sheep curd. The fried fish borek is also among the dishes singled out for its flavour.
Order for the table
Shared plates make it easier to try a mix of hot and cold mezze. Fried chickpeas and split beans with za’atar are among the menu ideas to look for, alongside the breads and larger dishes. If you would rather leave the selection to the kitchen, consider the banquet, which brings a range of dishes to the table.
Dessert has its own Middle Eastern touches. Kulfi is listed on the menu, and other dessert ideas include Lebanese doughnuts, Turkish coffee ice cream and torched meringue with strawberries, cream and sumac sherbet. Book ahead for busy periods; an early evening meal is a practical choice if you prefer a more relaxed dining room.
