Exhibition Restaurant

Set below the Metro Arts theatre of Brisbane, Exhibition Restaurant becomes the unexpected final act of any show. Akin to its theatrical counterparts, chef and owner Tim Scott has curated a provocative and multisensory dining experience, engaging in a seasonally evolving menu that is also a committed nod to culinary arts and craftsmanship.

Exhibition is home to one of the best omakase experiences in the city. Essential omakase in a subterranean CBD spaceTim Scott moved on from the acclaimed Joy (also fabulous, if you can nab a booking) to open this precise, Japanese influenced restaurant in the heart of the CBD. Head down the stairs into a moody, subterranean bolthole as Scott channels his vivid creativity into an experience designed to showcase the best local produce (the restaurant’s co-owner is Michael Nguyen of Thai Hoa Grocer – one of the best suppliers of fresh produce in the city).

There’s a discernible confidence in the air as you descend into this subterranean 24-seater beneath Brisbane’s Metro Arts Theatre. That sense of composure continues with technically astute snacks like saline abalone parfait on pillowy fingers of Japanese milk bread, or a duck dashi that proves an unexpectedly refreshing palate cleanser. Chef-owner Tim Scott’s drive for the best produce – even acquiring vegetable plots on a suburban farm – is the framework for his fresh, ever-changing and exciting take on the omakase format.

Located deep within Brisbane’s Metro Arts Theatre, Exhibition is an intimate 24-seat restaurant offering a unique multi-sensory dining experience. Continuing the legacy of live theatrical displays, Exhibition’s menu—inspired by Japanese style Omakase—sees amazing ingredients used in unexpected ways.

Down a set of stairs into the barely lit basement of the old Metro Arts building in Brisbane’s CBD lies this ultra-trendy, 24-seat, degustation-only experience. Bookings for two sit kitchen-side, watching the team of smartly dressed chefs work their magic, while groups of four sink into banquette seating and sturdy wooden chairs, ready for the multi-course menu to begin. A series of snacks kicks things off, perhaps the abalone liver parfait.
