About La Vue Waterfront Restaurant

Brisbane diners head riverside beneath the glow of the Story Bridge when an evening calls for classic French hospitality. Starched white tablecloths set the tone. French-speaking staff attend to every ritual—draping napkins and pouring wine before disappearing into the background as the lights dim. The kitchen turns out crusty baguettes, seared scallops, and duck à l’orange with rich sauces, right through to chocolate-drenched profiteroles and bavarois.

  • Story Bridge Vistas: Direct riverside tables frame sweeping views of the illuminated Story Bridge as the dining room lights dim into the evening.
  • Classical French Service: Classic tableside rituals featuring French-speaking waitstaff, linen service, and visits from the chef.
  • French Classics: Traditional multi-course dishes spanning duck à l’orange, seared scallops, lobster bisque, and chocolate profiteroles.
  • Family-Inclusive Dining: An upscale dining room that caters to younger diners with dedicated, properly prepared children's meals.
