		Brisbane has no gastronomic tradition to exploit, but there’s a good variety of bars and restaurants all over the city, with a trend towards “Modern Australian” (creative use of local produce, influenced by Asia and the Mediterranean), and a fashionable café society in Fortitude Valley and the West End.
