Westfield Chermside Food Court

Chermside is the third-largest shopping centre in Australia and, since the addition of its outdoor dining precinct in 2017, has bulked up its food options to match. There’s a bunch of good options here.

Try Momo for crisply fried Korean chicken, Kinn+Derm for legit Thai, and Hanok for Korean barbecue. Also, Simone Presta and Carmine Guarino recently opened a second instalment of their terrific fast-paced Italian eatery Scugnizzi.

Elsewhere, there’s Archer, Foster & Black and Be Kalii for coffee; Yo-Bar for self-serve frozen yoghurt and acai; Hakataya for ramen; NYC Bagel Deli for stacked bagels; and David’s Noodle & Hotpot for malatang.

That’s just a taste of the independents (and smaller, quality chains), and then you have the big-box operators and fast food spots on top. Taken altogether, it’s well pitched and impressive in its ambition and utility, particularly when you consider Chermside probably didn’t have to do this – it’s not like the surrounding suburb heaves with restaurants and cafes.
