About Monte Lane

Metropolitan wine bar poise right on Brisbane Street spares you the trek into the capital. Patrons settle in for woodfired pizzas blistered within view of the dining floor, paired alongside snappy pours of Shiraz and crisp calamari. Morning visits swap in espresso and croissant eggs Benedict, with outdoor laneway tables supplying lap rugs when the air bites. As dusk rolls in, the space shifts effortlessly into candlelit dates, shared T-bone steaks, and house cocktails.

  • Live woodfired pizza station: Guests can watch pizzas shaped and fired in an open woodfired oven.
  • Laneway outdoor seating: Alleyway dining comes prepared with warm lap blankets on chilly days.
  • Day-to-night Italian flow: Morning espresso service flows into evening cocktails and wine bar dining without leaving Ipswich.
