Lunch bookings often include exclusive use of the space, table service, and in many cases a food and beverage package. Venues like Babylon Brisbane and The Charming Squire offer per-person pricing that typically includes multiple courses and drinks, making planning easy and cost-predictable.
Booking 4–6 weeks ahead is recommended for most weekday or weekend lunch events. For popular locations like Melrose Restaurant & Rooftop Bar in Bulimba or Jimmy’s on the Mall in the CBD, it's smart to reserve earlier—especially during peak dining months like November and December.
