Worth a Detour is all about great food experiences.
Today a meal is more than just the food – it is the total experience. Our aim is to find great places to visit, with food that we like, and great food and wine experiences that you can share with your companions**.
We are not critics. We simply highlight and recommend places worth visiting. We were tired of being served mediocre food and service with an attitude – so we set out to find those great little places that serve good food, with friendly service and fabulous atmosphere.
If a venue is on our site – it is worth seeking out – it is Worth a Detour.
Worth a Detour is a dynamic work-in-progress. We have many places yet to explore. So please join with us and share the detours…
**Note: **
The word Companion comes from the latin “com” and “panis” – meaning “with bread”. Someone with whom you share bread. Someone with whom you travel, dine and spend time with. A true friend.

Eagle Street is back! With views of the iconic Story Bridge and the Brisbane River, located in the heart of the CBD, the newly renovated Riverland is the perfect spot for a leisurely drink, a meal or a function with the lot.
Excessive noise can ruin a good meal. In fact, noise is currently the second most common complaint amongst restaurant-goers, behind poor service.
With this in mind, Worth a Detour have recently agreed to collaborate with a group called The Ambient Menu.
