About

About E'cco Bistro

E'cco Bistro has been one of Brisbane's most celebrated dining destinations since chef Philip Johnson opened its doors in 1995. The restaurant built its reputation on a deceptively straightforward philosophy: simple food done exceptionally well. Over nearly three decades, this approach earned E'cco multiple chef's hat awards and cemented its place as a true Brisbane institution, attracting guests from across Queensland and interstate.

The restaurant relocated to its current home at Haven in Newstead, where it continues to draw on Queensland's extraordinary larder — Moreton Bay bugs, local king prawns, coral trout from the North Coast, and Gippsland grass-fed beef. The kitchen blends classical French bistro technique with modern Australian sensibilities, making extensive use of wood-fired and char-grilled cooking to add depth and smokiness to premium ingredients. The wine list has long been regarded as one of Brisbane's finest, with the tasting menu wine pairing representing exceptional value for the calibre of food on offer.

E'cco Bistro operates Wednesday through Saturday for dinner and offers lunch on Fridays and Saturdays, maintaining an intimate dining room that favours quality over volume. The restaurant's tasting menus — available in four- and five-course formats with vegetarian and vegan alternatives — provide a curated journey through the kitchen's seasonal best, while the à la carte menu allows guests to compose their own experience from an ever-changing selection of starters, mains, sides, and desserts.
