Vapiano

Dining at Brisbane City's Vapiano, is an Italian experience comparable to few others in Brisbane.

The restaurant itself offers a chic, modern decor across two levels at the very end of Albert Lane (off Albert Street, Brisbane CBD). However, within the modern interior, glimmers of tradition shine through in the form of fresh potted herbs that line the dining tables. The continual hum and fast paced vibe of the venue so accurately suit its surrounding inner-city environment and adds to the positive ambiance within.

Freshness is key at Vapiano, with all produce sourced within a 150 kilometer radius. This is evident on arrival when visitors are bowled over by the aroma of good, traditional Italian food.

The thing that sets Vapiano apart from its competitors is the fact that each meal, whether it be pizza, pasta, antipasto or salad, is made to order right in front of you. Vapiano's ordering system involves making your way to their service area, ording your dish and watching the staff create your meal there and then. Some drinks can be ordered at this time too while alcoholic beverages can be found at the bar on the second floor.

Also very modern is the restaurant's method of payment. Each guest is given a card on arrival which is swiped after food and drinks are collected allowing guests to fix the bill when they leave.

For a reasonable price, Vapiano offers diners a chance to enjoy traditional Italian food in a modern city environment. The positive ambiance and friendly staff make the Vapiano experience a memorable one. Gluten free options are available.
