From the June–July 2026 Loving Nundah Magazine
We've rounded up the signature dishes and drinks of the Northside — and there are some absolute knock-outs.
Pastries, pub fare, up-and-coming restaurants, craft beer — you'll find it all here, celebrating the signature fare of our local restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs. We really are spoiled for choice!
All Inn Brewing
Japanese Lager
189 Elliott Road, Banyo
All Inn Brewing's most popular beer. The Japanese Lager is crisp, refreshing and sessionable, with a light straw colour and a dry and moreish finish. 4.5% ABV.
Cafe 63
Green & Gold Burger
1 Aspinall Street, Nundah
A hearty Aussie-style burger, this is one of the most popular burgers at Cafe 63 Nundah. Juicy beef, melted cheddar, crispy bacon, golden hash brown, salad and mayo, served with crispy fries.
Charco & Co
Charcoal Chicken
3/1022 Nudgee Rd, Banyo
Charco & Co is new to the Northside, but it won't be under the radar for long. Their signature charcoal chicken is cooked over real charcoal, and that's what comes through — it's smoky, juicy, and full of flavour. Order it with the garlic dip or house-made Charco Special Chilli Sauce. Dine in, grab it for takeaway or get it delivered.
Embargos on Chapel
Dirty Sticky Chai
Shop 8/1176 Sandgate Road, Nundah
If you're looking for a drink with a bit more kick and you've got the time, Embargos' signature dirty sticky chai is the drink for you.

Order warm or iced.
