Dovetail Social

Best Known For

Adobo Bowl: chicken and pork adobo, braised in soy and vinegar, served with coconut curry, sauteed shiitake mushrooms, devilled eggs, housemade chorizo and toasted garlic, on a bed of fried rice.

Housed in an old Queenslander, Dovetail Social on Laura Street is a meeting place for Highgate Hill locals to linger over brunch plates and coffee. A bright blue façade gives way to a warm and inviting interior, where polished floorboards and vibrant artwork set the scene for catchups with family and friends; while the garden is an ideal spot to relax on a balmy Brisbane day. Settle in with a house iced coffee and classic Reuben sandwich with pastrami, sauerkraut, gruyere cheese and creamy Russian dressing on Uncle Bob’s toasted rye bread; or perhaps a pan-fried Korean savoury pancake, filled with zucchini, carrot, spring onion, herbs and kimchi. There’s also an old-fashioned high tea room with antique chairs, a chandelier and retro wallpaper for specials occasions and celebrations.
