Jo Jo's Restaurant And Bar

South Brisbane

Jo Jo's Restaurant has been replaced by Bocca Brisbane.

Jo-Jo's Restaurant, a Brisbane institution that stood on Queen Street in the city for nearly four decades, has re-opened in modern digs on Melbourne Street in the heart of South Brisbane.

Inside, the spacious restaurant has an al fresco feel with cobblestone flooring, white washed walls and fairy lights strung above. Customers are instantly transported to the Mediterranean.

The menu has an international flavour featuring some of Jo-Jo's classic dishes and some exciting new ones. Share plates range from DIY tacos and steamed dim sims to truffle cheese fries and Lebanese platter - assorted dips, cured meats, mixed olives, toasted Turkish bread, balsamic vinegar and virgin olive oil.
