About

Built deep underground the Metro Arts Theatre of Brisbane, Exhibition is an intimate 24 seat restaurant which will provide guests with a rare multi-sensory dining experience. In the truest sense of escapism, Exhibition will continue the legacy of live theatrical displays, visual arts and performance that will live on forever in this 130 year old building. We aim to bring you a menu that takes inspiration from a Japanese style Omakase. Simply meaning, the chef will choose what’s being served each evening for our 24 guests.

Exhibition will take diners on a truly unique experience. Escapism. Expect to see custom handmade cutlery, ceramics from local and Japanese artists, cooking artifacts and our teams own unique skills and knowledge on display. Our goal is to share the story of all the creators, producers, artists and craftsmen that have contributed to this Exhibition.

 

Head chef and owner Tim Scott, along with his team, will challenge themselves to bring you unique dishes featuring some of the best producers locally and from all over Australia. Using traditional and modern techniques with flavours that take inspiration from many cuisines, the menu will constantly evolve with the season. Having unparalleled access to live seafood, meat and game means that Exhibition will deliver a truly unique dining experience. Each course will feature premium seafood and meat prepared in multiple ways along with its own paired accompaniments. Featuring a gentle aroma of charcoal smoke, Tim will highlight these amazing ingredients in unexpected ways whilst staying true to his ethos of simplicity and sustainability.

 

Co-Owner Michael Nguyen of Thai Hoa Grocer has spent a decade collaborating with the most progressive growers in our community. Sustainable ethics and nutrition are at the forefront of his business focus. Working with growers from the volcanic soils of Northern NSW to tropical Far North Queensland gives Exhibition unrivalled access to the very best produce over each of the four seasons.

 

Manager Jemima Phillips will compile a beverage list that seeks out the best makers, those whose vision and purpose align with those of Exhibition. Without ties to New or Old World; Exhibition will serve drinks created by individuals and perfectionists like ourselves, with a drive to showcase a unique and memorable product.
