    We dined on a menu type of each and both left stuffed! An incredible amount of food for the price you pay, the wagyu was incredibly well cooked, however pumpkin and carrot stole the show and is a must try. Incredibly pleased with the wine knowledge and service from the staff as well. A must dine in Brisbane.

    All four of us had a wonderful Christmas lunch at Detour. The food was exceptional, and the service was delightful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—it truly made our day special. Thank you, Detour!

    Fantastic experience, everything about their dishes complements so well together. I've never had better broccoli anywhere else. Very professional service. Can't recommend highly enough.

    The food at Detour is off a small but what you would call eclectic mix. Emu, crocodile, duck, salt and vinegar fries etc. I guess you could say its different! Presented well and very tasty, always a good place to go for something different.

    We love Detour. It is a shame it is closing at Wooloongabba but we look forward to its pop-up at James St and then its new permanent home in the middle of 2025. The food is fabulous - we ate entirely from the Herbivore menu this time. They are one of the few dining destinations in Brisbane doing truly interesting and tasty vegan options. Highly recommend even for the carnivores amongst us.

    Staff are friendly and attentive, food is outstanding. The Gunpowder Waygu and the Lamb just melts in your mouth. The Heirloom Carrots and Maple Pumpkin are truly something to be experienced.
