Up-tempo, eternally busy and in a prime West End location, the LGT is a
great spot for a big Greek feast and some people watching. Launch into a prawn and
saganaki salad or a classic lamb yiros, washed down with a sleep-defeating Greek coffee.
It's kid-friendly, too.

Woven tablecloths, red walls and candlelit tables create a snug atmosphere
at this standout Turkish restaurant. Share an Ottoman meze platter (halloumi, chorizo,
almond-crusted goats cheese, garlic prawns and more good stuff), or tuck into the excel-
lent braised lamb shank.
Fortitude Valley & Chinatown
Although better known for drinkin', dancin' and general nocturnal shenanigans, the Valley
also has some brilliant places to eat, particularly around Chinatown (Duncan St) where
steaming noodle soups, bowls of dumplings and exotic spice scents lure passers-by.
