Esquire

145 Eagle St, Brisbane

England’s loss was Brisbane’s gain when chef Ryan Squires moved here in 2008. He is now the owner of twin venues, Esquire and Esq., on Eagle Street. Esquire is the fine diner of the pair – an immaculate, coolly coloured space that deals exclusively in degustations created each day from market-fresh ingredients. The views of the river seal the deal.
