Brisbane’s most celebrated dining month is back. Dine BNE City 2026 returns from 1 to 30 June, bringing together more than 80 venues across the CBD in the initiative’s sixth consecutive year — and its biggest program yet, with 130 exclusive offers spanning breakfast through to late-night supper.
Now a fixture on the city’s culinary calendar, Dine BNE City is an initiative of Brisbane Economic Development Agency designed to champion the local hospitality sector while giving diners — residents and visitors alike — an accessible entry point into Brisbane’s world-class food and drink scene. Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has been a consistent supporter of the program, noting that it “encourages diners to explore the best of Brisbane’s thriving food scene, no matter their budget.”
The 2026 program is structured across five experience categories, each offering something distinct.
Morning Edition (new for 2026)
