Added historic flavour
New restaurant will offer diverse menu
A NEW restaurant with a historic touch in the heart of the city is about to open its doors and is promising to deliver an experience with “no boundary”.
When the Bredhauer family bought Townsville Brewery on the corner of Flinders and Denham streets a year ago, they had plans to give it a new lease of life with several initiatives and developments.
One of those ideas was a new restaurant, which led to the birth of Restaurant 1889 at The Brewery.
Owner Philip Bredhauer said they didn’t want the new eatery to be straight-jacketed to a particular style.
“We wanted to have a restaurant with no boundary as to the cuisine or geographical identity,” Mr Bredhauer said.
“We just want to satiate our dinners’ tastebuds with fresh, wholesome food – seafood, steak, pasta and vegetarian that are cooked in the best style. No more, no less.”
The restaurant has been named in honour of the Townsville Post and Telegraph Office building that was completed on December 2, 1889.
The diverse menu will include seafood linguine, authentic caesar salad, vine ripened tomato and mozzarella bruschetta, oysters, chargrilled tiger prawns and scallops.
The headline item will be premium cut steaks, featuring a Spanish style Txuleta.
A Txuleta is a rib bone cut of meat from retired breeding cattle that are grass fed for at least 60 months. The marbling gives a rich, robust and developed flavour.
Restaurant 1889 at The Brewery is now taking reservations for its opening evening tonight and tomorrow night.
