Delight in the dark of Brisbane’s captivating culinary spectacular Night Feast, dishing up bold, new flavours this winter, bringing cooler nights and hotter plates.
Now in its fourth season, Night Feast transforms the Brisbane Powerhouse precinct into an immersive playground of large-scale art installations, live DJ sets and irresistible food from 20 renowned dining establishments. The 2026 line-up blends beloved favourites with exciting new names.
With fire, warmth and longer evenings at its heart, winter is setting the stage for the ultimate Night Feast experience: a world of food, art and music that define the festival. Paired with a season made for cosy outdoor dining, you can expect the same boundary-pushing menus, festival-exclusive dishes and immersive art concepts that have made Night Feast one of Brisbane’s most anticipated annual events.
As part of this new era, Night Feast is hosting an indulgent, one-day-only long lunch in collaboration with iconic Brisbane eateries set to ignite the senses. Better Off Red will unite bold flavours, breathtaking performances and artful theatrics in a celebration of all things crimson!
Transforming the Performance Lawn space within the riverside precinct into a theatrical daytime feast, the all-inclusive experience has been crafted by some of Australia’s most exciting culinary talent, including Simon Hill from Newstead’s open-fire Mediterranean, Bosco and Jake Nicholson, Executive Chef at Blackbird Brisbane.
As striking as the setting, the menu has been designed to be savoured slowly, unfolding across a shared table layered with flavourful, flame-led dishes, think jamón serrano with fire-roasted peppers and migas, grilled tiger prawns with romesco, and chorizo glazed in hard cider.
At its heart, premium cuts will be cooked over flame and served with flourish, including Angus ribeye carved off the bone with red wine jus and wood barbecued cumin-spiced lamb with quince and mint, all complemented by premium pours from D’Arenberg wines.
Commenting on the new offering Hill explains, “As if Night Feast wasn’t indulgent enough, Better Off Red is an opportunity to push things even further. By bringing together the very best of Bosco and Blackbird and dialing every culinary element up to its fullest expression, Better Off Red will be a bold, multi-sensory food and wine experience that’s set to become a true centrepiece of the festival.”
Beyond the plate, Better Off Red, will deliver a front-row seat to a series of unexpected live performances, bringing together the day of pure indulgence in every shade.
As per usual, you will also be able to try some of Brisbane’s top restaurants all in one place throughout Night Feast, with plenty of exclusive creations that will only be around for a limited time, so don’t miss out!
Night Feast will also welcome local and international artists to transform Brisbane Powerhouse and its surroundings, as is now tradition. The free arts program will include everything from installations and performances to DJ sets, live music, and more.
