Stanley Cantonese Restaurant
Stanley
A Hong Kong-style Cantonese restaurant in the riverside former Water Police headquarters, widely regarded as one of Brisbane's best Cantonese restaurants.
Located beneath Story Bridge at Howard Smith Wharves, the restaurant occupies the heritage-listed former Water Police headquarters building and takes its inspiration from Stanley in Hong Kong. Led by head chef Louis Tikaram, it prepares traditional Cantonese dishes with top Australian produce. Live spotted coral trout, mud crab or lobster can be selected from tanks and cooked in the Cantonese style. Signature dishes include Peking duck wraps, Sichuan-style char siu, Moreton Bay mantis shrimp spring rolls and special fried rice, and there are banquet menus. Prices are on the higher side, with a surcharge on Sundays, so booking is recommended.
