Paddington - Brisbane CBD and Suburbs

Paddington is a charming urban village well known for its traditional Queenslander houses that dot the hills amongst large, leafy trees. But the suburb is also gaining a reputation for being a hotspot for dining, wining and shopping.

Make sure you head for the meandering main strips of Latrobe Terrace and Given Terrace that run right through the heart of Paddington. Along these two joining roads, you’ll find a number of popular bars, cafes and restaurants, such as the award-winning bar The Lark, divine restaurants Montrachet and Grappino.

Also along these strips you will discover a huge array of stores ranging from antique to home wares, designer to shabby chic. This suburb is truly coming to life with new stores opening every month. You could definitely spend a whole day in Paddington exploring its many boutiques. Some must-shops are Meow Meow, La La Latrobe, Side Street, Olive Home, Harry Henry, Boudoir Chic, and Wallflower Suite

Further down the road you will find Suncorp Stadium, where you can catch an action-packed game of Rugby or Soccer. Then the action doesn’t stop until the early hours of the morning on Caxton Street, home to an array of hotels, clubs and bars. They’re all conveniently close together, so if you like to do a bit of bar hopping, this is the place for you.
