Chef Lochlan Alexander Joined The Regatta Hotel in 2018 as a Commis Chef in The Boatshed Restaurant after moving up from Newcastle in NSW. With 13+ years of experience, he used his passion for great food and Australian produce to move up the ranks to become the Head Chef at the age of 27.
Working with some of the world’s best food suppliers, he found a real passion for locally sourced Australian produce. Now Lochlan works extremely closely with supplier to select the best produce for not only the Boatshed Restaurant but our whole venue. Which has won the QHA’s Best Restaurant in 2017, 2018 and 2019 being placed into the hall of fame.
Lochlan continues to search for new and innovative ways to showcase Australian produce through some of his sell out events such as Whiskey Beef and Beef Off.
A centrepiece of the restaurant is its stunning, two-metre long flame grill, which adds a sense of theatre as guests observe the cooking of the restaurant’s signature dry-aged steaks. With a commitment to fresh, local and seasonal produce, the selection of quality steaks is complemented by a variety of mainstays, with something to suit everyone’s tastes.
At Regatta Hotel we proudly boast a wide selection of 33 draught beers, 3 ciders on tap and 1 spirit, through the largest service point throughout the hotel, our Main Bar. We favour the international finds, including American craft beers like Brooklyn Lager, to premium drops such as Heineken, Peroni and Kirin.
Located outside on the quaint sidewalk, lies our River Road Cafe. Open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, River Road Café offers a relaxed dining experience right on the river.
Resembling an endless, summer patio, dressed with florals and festoon lighting, The Courtyard is the perfect setting for a cheeky evening drink or chilled afternoon session. The Courtyard captivates the relaxed Brisbane culture of being outdoors, socialising with friends, listening to live music and enjoying good food and beverages.
If you’re looking for a private, high-quality dining experience the Henley Room is perhaps the room for you. The room stands as a working wine cellar and features a state-of-the-art AV projector screen, surround sound and a fine dining menu that can be custom designed to suit all tastes.
