Ach is a chic modern wine bar and bistro serving exquisite Levantine-inspired cuisine, located out in the newly developing reaches of Hamilton's North Shore precinct.

Getting there is like taking a drive into no-mans's land with a handful of apartment and office blocks and alot of open fenced in space awaiting development, until Ach appears like a foodie's oasis in the desert, tucked away underneath one of the blocks.

Those who take the trip will be rewarded with what is arguably the best Middle Eastern food in Brisbane, cooked over an open flame and accompanied by boutique wines from the Middle East and Australia.
