James Street | Brisbane’s luxury precinct

Home to an expertly curated roster of international and local boutiques, James Street – bordering Fortitude Valley and New Farm – is the ultimate Brisbane precinct for those seeking food, fashion, and fun. Luxury is personified along this leafy street in the many high-end boutiques from Scanlan and Theodore to Camargue, Aje to Gorman making it a favourite haunt for shoppers of every kind.

Meander through James Street Market to buy fresh fish, flowers and fancy cakes. Or think about colouring up your house at other homeware stores in the precinct including Dinosaur Designs, Museum of Small Things or St Barts.

Weekend eats

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

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. From blockbusters to niche arthouse films, they have everything to satisfy a cinephile and throw a spotlight on the French and German Film Festivals. Then, check out one of the amazing bars from The Nixon Room to Milan-inspired Bar Tano. This is the perfect precinct to people-watch.
