James Street - Brisbane’s luxury precinct

James Street, located between Fortitude Valley and New Farm, is Brisbane's top spot for food, fashion, and fun. This charming area lined with leafy trees is a favourite shopping destination. It features a range of international and local boutiques, including high-end names like Camargue, Aje, and Gorman.

Meander through James Street Market to buy fresh fish, flowers and fancy cakes. You can also brighten up your home with goods from nearby stores like Dinosaur Designs, Museum of Small Things or St Barts.

James Street restaurants

Make a point to fill your weekend brunch table with baked goods from Agnes Bakery. Don’t leave without a loaf of sourdough, their signature smoked butter and a mini basque cheesecake. Make it a feast with equally exceptional treats from Jocelyn’s Provisions and Sprout Artisan Bakery. Or refresh your insides with some healthy sushi made with high-quality seafood from Fresh Sushi Co.

Down time and relaxation

For a relaxing afternoon, take advantage of one of the many spas. From Kailo to Endota Spa, James Street is also a destination for rejuvenation. Kailo’s unique Wellness Pods facilitate pedicures and facials to help you unwind. 

Nights out

Close out the evening with a trip to the Palace James St Cinemas. They offer a wide range of films, from blockbusters to niche arthouse titles, highlighting the French and German Film Festivals. Then, check out one of the amazing bars including The Nixon Room. This is the perfect precinct to people-watch.
