Renowned hotel and restaurant group Ghanem, the team behind Donna Chang, Blackbird Bar and Grill and Byblos, has firmly established itself as a leader in luxury hospitality. Now, the group is making its first foray into Fortitude Valley with a French brasserie eatery called Bisou Bisou.
Housed inside the luxurious Hotel X, Bisou Bisou is a gorgeous spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are open as early as 6:30 am – so you can go ahead and have some toast or pastries – and until late, for an intimate date night.

Menu items for lunch and dinner include French classics like seafood bouillabaisse, steak frites and whole roasted free-range chicken, plus desserts all prepared by Ghanem Group’s current executive chef Jake Nicolson and Chef Anthony Donaldson, former head chef at Blackbird. For drinks, Bisou Bisou features an aperitivo bar which boasts spritzes and negronis, as well as vintage French wines.
Awashed in warm hues and adorned with antique mirrors, floral couches, and wood tones, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic date night. Bisou, in French, actually translates to “kiss” so their name just perfectly suits the place. And like most restaurants you’ll find in Paris, they have an open kitchen for an even more entertaining dining experience.
Bisou Bisou can be found on the ground floor of Hotel X at 458 Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley. For more information or to make a reservation, visit bisou-bisou.com.au.
