Three Blue Ducks

Always try out 3BD restaurant wherever they are cos i always get good service and food! And no surprise it was excellent! Situated in at W hotel on level 3, great views of Brisbane. Request window seat if possible! Food was excellent. Make sure to try their spicy Margie! Best i ever had!

Really good food, professional friendly service and a stunning view! This place has it all. On arrival we were met by the staff and shown to our table. The drinks menu was explained and dining options reviewed. Ian, our host for the evening, was charming, knowledgeable about the menu and wines, and looked after us very well. We even got a selfie on the balcony taken by one of the staff😊.
Would highly recommend it if you are in Brisbane.

We have been here for lunch before and it was good. This time we tried dinner. It was amazing. Beautiful view and very comfortable environment.
Friendly staff. Excellent service.
Food is delicious. Generous portion size.
Will definitely come back again.

have already been a couple of times and loved the service and atmosphere. My most recent visit was nothing short of wonderful. The meals were so delicious! They also had a menu just for the kids called ducklings ( I see what they did there). The kids LOVED the broccoli. I’m serious, they actually want me to make broccoli like that at home now ( I guess I will need to get myself a hibachi grill). The steak was done medium-rare and it was really perfect and my bugs were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Don’t even get me started on dessert. YUM!

We were treated so well by the staff there and they made sure our dietary requirements were easily met. The very talented Chef Pawel also came by to check on us. It was so great chatting with him about his food experiences and it was also great to be able to let him know how much we enjoyed our meals and the wonderful service of the staff there. We will definitely be back there again especially because the kids really enjoyed it too. Thank you all for your wonderful hospitality and looking after us so well, see you soon!

Absolutely great experience! From the welcome, the considerate service to the delicious meals. The restaurant has a great view of the river and a very relaxing ambience. The food is worth the visit. Definitely recommended as a place to come and celebrate a special occasion. Enjoy the photos-we can still taste the flavours when looking at the pictures!

Outstanding food, superb service and a gorgeous view makes Three Blue Ducks a must for anyone wanting to try one of Brisbane's best restaurants! Highly recommend this restaurant for a date, work event or anniversary.

Went to Three Blue Ducks a few months ago to celebrate our anniversary. Lovely ambience and food was divine! Our waitress was brilliant - made excellent suggestions and ensured all dietary requirements were catered for.

Glad we chose this place for our Christmas eve dinner because it was beautiful. A nice location on the 3rd floor of the new W Brisbane, Three Blue Ducks sits looking over the river.
Before you get your hopes up there was no duck on the menu, but we loved the choices we had. We struggled to decided between seafood platter for two (they were popular and looked amazing) or to share the T-bone and some moreton bay bugs.. They did not disappoint!! It's recommended to also order one or two sides to accompany the dishes.
Both were cooked perfectly and oozing with flavour.
Staff were lovely, service was quick. Only a short wait at the end to pay when there was also an influx of patrons.

Absolutely amazing and consistent Three Blue Ducks experience at the W Brisbane. Fresh ingredients, delicious meals and great space with views. Very friendly service with a smile. Proud Mary single origin coffee that you cannot possibly go wrong with. Whether staying at the W or just looking for a great place for a Brekkie, this is my go-to for a great meal, coffee and service.

Absolutely the best dining experience I have had in a long time! Easy parking down under the hotel, the ambience is beautiful - you overlook the Brisbane river/Southbank. Timely, friendly, fun service by happy staff. Food was INCREDIBLY delicious, the only things we said our whole meal while eating was over and over how delicious it was. We were barely talking, it was too enjoyable! Do yourself a favor and get the lamb shoulder with a bunch of sides - best lamb in all my life and I'm early 30's!! 😊😊
My friend had the muscles and raved about them too, especially the broth they were in!
Yummy dessert, good coffee and amazing cocktails. The best part is that it feels and tastes like a 5 star experience plus it's majority sourced local, organic and sustainable food/wine...but the price tag is so reasonable!! Also, it all came out so fast and the portion sizes are awesome!!
Can't wait to come back!!

Dined here during a stay at the W. Despite initially struggling to make a selection - something we never normally do - we eventually made our choices and were not disappointed. Lovely balance of flavours and considered technique.

We'd previously dined at 3BD in Byron, whilst this visually/aesthetically is a very different experience, the food is the star and should be what is celebrated.

Arrived by Uber in the evening. Probably best not to drive, as it seems very busy with cars going in & out. Outside appearance of Building looks trendy with a big well lit W outside, so you can't miss it. Very spacious inside. Nicely decorative, modern & artsy. Beautiful bathrooms. Very impressive on first arrival. Staff are very welcoming & attentive to detail. We had the best table outside on the deck overlooking Brisbane River. The views were spectacular. Food was mouth wateringly scrumptious. We tried several dishes; such as the chicken, lamb & eye fillet. Worth seeing the Wet Deck three floors up afterwards for after dinner delights. The artistic design on the pool and surrounds are mesmerising. Definitely worth the visit.

I’d give a 5 out of 5 to this place. Absolutely knowledgeable staff who were so attentive and nice throughout my dining experience there. From the food itself to the wine pairing, you can tell these people have great knowledge about what they are doing! Very affordable prices too, 32 for a huge plate of beautifully done mussels. Oh and the oyster, so fresh and sweet! I’d say this is a place that won’t go wrong! Highly recommend. Will defo be back

A true dining experience. Great food knowedgable friendly staff and, subject to availabilyty, good views.

Don't be put off by the set menu as there was plenty of options and also plenty of food.

Three blue ducks has a beautiful atmosphere and is quite big in space where seating arrangements are quite spread out. Our waiter was Sandra and another man (sorry I forgot his name!). They were both very helpful in suggesting food, drinks and how much food to order for two people.

For entree we had octopus, some of the best octopus we’ve had in Australia and sweet potato hummus, which also didn’t disappoint and was one of my favourites.

For mains we ordered the chicken with a side of pumpkin and broccoli. The pumpkin was unreal and very flavoursome. The chicken and broccoli were also delicious. I would recommend the chicken for two people (the lamb is apparently quite large and we couldn’t finish the chicken!)

At this stage we were full, so I would only suggest one side dish if there’s only two of you. However we couldn’t resist the dessert menu and shared a creme brûlée. It’s quite large compared to a traditional creme brûlée, but was still amazing and a perfect way to end the meal.

I tend to like more sweeter cocktails and can recommend the Amaretto Encounter cocktail and the Lavender and Berry cocktail. Would highly recommend coming here and can’t fault a thing.

Entree is “Sunny Coast raw king fish with paw paw salad.
Exceptionally well balanced dish to open your appetite. Well use of fresh mints red onion and paw paw to bring the favour of king fish” well done.
Main : Pan fries king prawn with Kale a touch of spice and chilli
&
Spiced grill chicken with corn purée.
I personally think the chicken is a little lack of favour. Even though it is a grilled chicken but the chicken can be juicers through longer marinate.
The corn puree was a perfect match of the chicken.
Desert was the high light, creams brûlée was one of the best I ever have, the size was very generous, enough to share between a couple. Apple crumble and passion fruit was surprisingly serve very well with the brûlée.
A very pleasant lunch, big thinks to the serving staff, very professional and hard working.
I would surely give this specially Ducks another visit soon.

3 Blue Ducks

Laid back welcoming dining room with eclectic chairs and basket lamps, on the 3rd floor of the W hotel overlooking the Southbank of the Brisbane river. No tablecloths, very soft linen (textured?) napkins. The wall of windows opens to allow outdoor dining, traffic noise can be loud. Music is an eclectic mix of 60’s 70’s and 80’s. Loud enough to set the mood, but not too loud to enjoy your companion’s conversation (or eavesdrop on your neighbours if you dine alone). Free hotel wifi.
Menu is varied with lovely exotic influences. Veg, Gluten free and Non-dairy items indicated with acronyms.
Still or sparkling water offered. Food is gorgeous and nicely plated, without being pretentious. Portions are perfect, prices moderate (for Australia, they are actually low for a restaurant of this calibre.) Compared to other hotel dining rooms- cheap!
Sourdough bread could compete with the best Boudin in San Francisco, the cultured butter divine.
Servers are in aprons and sneakers, and service is relaxed but polished. Staff are attentive without being intrusive. Wine refills offered without feeling swooped upon. Water glasses refilled from carafe left on the table just in case. Team service means that if someone other than your server takes care of the next table, they don’t hesitate to also take care of you, or ask how everything is. The floor managers even clear dirty tables. Tables cleared of crumbs and wiped between courses.
Desserts inventive, and rich. Large enough to share.
Lavatory very modern, and almost clean (spots on floor in front of the urinals could be attended to) and well stocked with W paper hand towels and tissues. Hand soap is commercial pink stuff. Dyson hand dryer.

I took my partner here for the buffet breakfast on his birthday - definitely the best buffet breakfast either of us have ever had. The food was delicious, and the selection amazing. We had a table by the window, so the view was lovely. The service was very friendly and professional. You get one barista made drink with the buffet, which was a nice touch. Will definitely be coming back for this.

Really airy and amazing views. Waiters were attentive and suggested delicious plates with generous portions. A little on the pricey side, but very well worth it. Thank you Brisbane

An upbeat venue; a cacophony of diners having a great night with friends. Three Blue Ducks has attentive staff, a very good wine selection - and the food..! It took all words out of my mouth! Phenomenally delicious! I had the mussels with coconut sambal & flat bread. I’d get it again without hesitation. All this, plus stunning sunset views of or river city. I highly recommend it as a place to go with friends for atmosphere & good food.
