Exhibition, Brisbane: Restaurant review

Exhibition

Tim Scott and his team showcase skill and artistry across more than 20 courses.

BRISBANE

Address

Basement, 109 Edward St, Brisbane

After three exceptional years, there’s no holding back at Exhibition. Commit to a tasting menu and you’ll be rewarded with a series of more than 20 kaiseki-inspired plates highlighting unexpected ingredients. Raw blue marlin appears beneath an airy brown rice sabayon, while baby sweet corn is brushed with brown butter and grilled over coals. Even Nutri-Grain shows up, the classic cereal turned into miso to make a butterscotch sauce paired with a crisp churro and salted cream for a wickedly rich dessert. The moody, 24-seat underground space invites personal interactions – chef-owner Tim Scott might even bring his ferments to the table. Manager Jemima Phillips’ wine list leans Old World and favours small producers, while four options for matching drinks – including a superb Sober Pairing of non-alcs – are all worth taking. From the opening snacks to the petits fours delivered in a wooden box, Exhibition proves dégustation dining still delights.
