Fortitude Valley, Brisbane This suburb, named after the 19th century ship the SS Fortitude in 1849 still retains much of its 19th century heritage. There was a time in the not too distant past when Fortitude valley was synonymous with brothels, gambling dens and unsavory characters. Now amongst the old buildings and renovated Queenslander style houses, brand new high-rise apartment blocks and old warehouses and wool stores are being converted into chic inner-city residences particularly in the riverside area of Tenerife and it is now one of Brisbane's most popular destinations.
It is not a suburb for those who love the peace and quiet; there are numerous nightclubs, bars and cafes especially in Brunswick Street. This is a place for those who want to get away from suburbia and live in a highly fashionable new apartment close to a lively nightlife.
Know as the "Valley" it is still home to private art galleries and artists studios with the Judith Wrights Centre of Contemporary Art as its creative hub. On Ann Street, which runs across Brunswick, offers cutting-edge fashion and new pubs and bars such as the GPO, a bar in the former Fortitude Valley Post Office.
The "Valley" is popular with the younger generation because of its thriving Chinatown and fabulous restaurants. 70% of all households, being only 1 km from Brisbane's city center, consist of couples without children. You will find that the accommodations they live in are apartments, as there are very few detached houses left in the area.
Five of the best restaurants to enjoy while in the Valley are:
Garuva Hidden Tranquility restaurant and Bar- a fabulous rainforest foyer leading to private tables with delicacies such as Shark fin and Chinese Roast Beef
Vietnamese restaurant- a no-nonsense restaurant offering exquisite food
Monsoon- a modern style restaurant offering Asian and Australian fusion
Sunbar Restaurant and Lounge- A sophisticated and fashionable place to enjoy your evening
Mellinos- The best pizza and pasta around.
