About the restaurant

Enjoy the breathtaking waterfront views, sparkling starry night skies, and refreshing breezes of our outdoor balcony, or opt for indoor air-conditioned seating to beat the heat (which can be a must in North Queensland!).

Our restaurant's name, A Touch of Salt, is a play on our family name, Brine. In 2005, we started as a family business, and our family-style approach of offering genuine hospitality and meals designed for conversation has always been the heart of A Touch of Salt. Over the years, we have perfected our restaurant to become one of the best casual fine-dining restaurants in the North.

We take pride in being appreciated by the locals of Townsville as well as travellers from all over Australia.

The food and service were excellent! Chefs even went to the trouble of writing “Happy Anniversary “ in chocolate onto our dessert plate. As the restaurant fills inside the noise level does rise significantly, but not enough to stop us going there. It is just too good!

About the restaurant

Emerge was established in February of 2019. This restaurant focuses on steak and features wagyu, full blood wagyu, 100% grass fed as well as in house dry aged steaks. Emerge can feature up to 10 steaks of various cuts at anyone time. Although a steakhouse Emerge doesn’t leave anyone behind. It really does have something for everyone. Using mainly proteins, vegetables and local artisan suppliers, the simplicity of the menu is naturally driven towards being gluten free. For this reason, Emerge is a popular location for coeliacs to safely dine. Although we refer to Emerge as using simple ingredients flavour is not lacking!

Emerge is a sister venue to the c up-and-coming restaurant Conclude.

Emerge is not fine dining but something special. The atmosphere is warm and friendly yet moody and intimate. Open lunch & dinner Monday- Saturday, book on in and enjoy!

This rose is a climbing rose and yellow in colour; a fitting representation of the Sunrise and Sunset that can be enjoyed from every aspect on the Lady Banks Rooftop.

Awarded One Hat by the prestigious Good Food Guide 2023, Lona Misa’s Latin fare and bistro dining collide against the norms of the classical medley you know of vegan and vegetarian dining.

Good size of entries but little too small with the mains. Too much mussels than other seafood.

About the restaurant

Vue de monde is a testament to the belief that dining can be a wondrous and unforgettable experience. The ever-changing chef’s menu pays homage to classical fine dining in a modern context by exploring the beauty of native Australian ingredients. While in the past the menu looked to Europe for inspiration, Executive Chef Hugh Allen continues to celebrate the unparalleled quality of home-grown produce with thoughtfully considered dishes committed to seasonality and locality.

Vue de monde has been synonymous with Melbourne dining for almost 20 years, continuing to present an exciting and dynamic experience with a progression of flavours and sense of curiosity. The whimsical spirit at the heart of the Vue de monde menu has not been lost throughout the years, with the lighter-handed and more natural approach to cooking being no less infused with theatre.

Food and service was outstanding. We sat inside by the open window so were still connected with the outdoors. Had beautiful city and river night views. Entrees and mains did not disappoint and we even snuck in a dessert. Wait staff were attentive without being over bearing. Overall we loved our experience at Waterfront.
