Best African Eats In Brisbane

Updated: Sep 15, 2024

Brisbane has a small but growing collection of African cafes and restaurants where diners can experience the unique exotic flavors of Ethiopia, Sudan, Eritrea, Nigeria and South Africa.

Worth seeking out to enjoy a delicious abundant feast at a budget price, the fascinating ritual of a traditional coffee ceremony, these eateries are also ideal for those looking for a taste of something different.
