Other Christmas Dining Options
If a buffet is not quite your thing, there are also plenty of other options which offer a sit-down menu for Christmas Lunch in Brisbane, as well as for dinner.
These places often provide set menus, with limited selections on offer, however they may be just the trick if you have allergies to seafood in the family (most, if not all of the Christmas buffets above feature seafood).
Don’t want to eat inside, no worries. Why not consider taking your Christmas lunch outdoors and visit a local park, garden or beach.
