QUEENSLAND

James Street in Fortitude Valley is strengthening its already stellar dining portfolio with two new restaurants from Simon Gloftis (SK Steak & Oyster and Hellenika) set to join the stylish complex.

Sushi Room at The Calile Hotel promises a refined, elegant experience with head chef Shimpei Raikuni (ex-Kiyomi) serving premium, fresh fish that will be flown in from around Australia daily. The sushi counter will seat 14, and be home to an impressive seafood display, with an additional 60 seats available in the main dining room. “There is no restaurant in Australia that will offer better seafood than us. This is something I can hang my hat on. We’ve done it for a long time, and we have those contacts in place”, says Gloftis. Across the road, Sunshine promises to be a bright and casual vegetarian eatery serving the Mediterranean food Gloftis enjoys cooking at home. The menu will include moussaka, chickpea soup and bean salads, alongside cocktails, wine and Spritzes.
