Brisbane CBD

Updated: Jan 01, 2025

Lúc Lắc is a stunning 159 seat Indochine-style restaurant located on The Terrace at The Star Brisbane in the Queens Wharf precinct.

Located on Level 4, Lúc Lắc offers both indoor and outdoor seating with lush tropical chic decor throughout, featuring floral fabrics, animal prints and brass accents, in keeping with the five flavour elements of sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami that permeate the menu.

Taking centre stage inside is a striking bar, back-lit with jade onyx stone slabs and featuring oversized custom rattan pendant lights floating overhead, and with bar-dining space for up to 55 guests. 

The lively, open kitchen overlooks the main dining area, which features dining booths and seating for up to 58 guests. The interior opens out to the splendid external terrace, where up to 46 guests can be accommodated in the lush rainforest setting.

The menu takes inspiration from the flavours of Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore, brought to life following an immersive research expedition to Asia, led by Ghanem Group Directors and brothers Adonis and Nehme Ghanem. Guests can select from an array of delicious snacks, fragrant salads, wok-tossed dishes, slow-braised clay-pot curries, grilled meats and seafood, and playful desserts.

Executive Chef Jake Nicolson’s interpretation of the traditional Lúc Lắc dish (shaking beef) features as Kampot Peppered Beef Tossed with Betel Leaf and Lemongrass. Other signature dishes include Crispy Snail and Pork Spring Rolls; Whole Crispy Spotted Blue Grouper with Native Tamarind and Three Taste Sauce; and Vietnamese-Style Baby Goat Yellow Curry with Sweet Potato, Coriander and Thai Basil. 

The very best of Australian produce features across the menus, including Fraser Isle Spanner Crab, King River Wagyu, and Moreton Bay Bugs from Queensland; periwinkles and abalone from Victoria; Skull Island Prawns from the Northern Territory; and Wild Blue Scampi Caviar from Western Australia.

On the drinks menu are higher concept, classic cocktails that feature Asian ingredients, inspired by local rituals and delivered with theatrical flair. Traditional Asian beers and international wines round out the bold and diverse beverage list, with a highlight of the wine list a Riesling crafted exclusively for Lúc Lắc by Rieslingfreak in the Clare Valley. 

Open from lunch to late night, Lúc Lắc’s a la carte and banquet menus are designed to share, alongside the extensive beverage offering, while a central bar and late-night DJ entertainment enable guests to soak up the after-dinner ambience.
