Bacon and eggs on house focaccia? Bloody Marys spiked with house sambal? Gildas and cavatelli and house dry-aged Angus T-bones, cooked over coals? Vitello tonnato and rocket panini? It can only be Chillis Deli, tucked into the labyrinth of piazze and frescoes that is Ettalong Galleria.

A sister to Chillis Cottage in Davistown, this all-day, all-comers destination run by husband-and-wife team Cameron Cansdell and Hayley Hardcastle does the lot, plus rotating gelato flavours next door, topped with chocolate fudge and hazelnut crunch.

Drinks range from spritzes and Campari and oranges through to Chianti classico, while the tone strikes the right balance between rustic and special. Eat in, or raid the deli and take away for a levelled-up picnic overlooking the calm of Brisbane Water.
