Good Grace is a lovely intimate Cafe and Restaurant for those looking for good food in Kenmore. There is a private function area you can hire out for catered events! We love supporting small local business and do recommend a visit.

We really like it here and when we are in the mood for Indian food, we either go here or order takeaway. The restaurant is quite small so best to book well in advance if you have a large group.

We often walk to the Brookfield Store for a little exercise whilst our son rides his bike. It is about a 7 km walk there and back, so not for the weary and not a good walk on a hot day, especially with children.
5 minutes in the car if a walk isn't on the agenda.
Has essentials such as bread, milk, deodorant, wine, etc.

We often order from Domino's when we don''t feel like going out, and they deliver straight to our door. The mobile phone app is excellent and you can track your order ever step of the way.

About 12 minutes drive form the home near The Kenmore, Woolworths and Macdonalds. There is a closer fish and chips shop at Kenmore Village, though in the past we've found that it isn't as good, though both places have changed hands since.

If your looking for a Tavern with reasonably decent food, this is a good place. It is part of Kenmore Plaza, which hosts Aldi, Woolworths, a Chemist, First Choice Liquor and a number of other shops.
There is a child friendly Restaurant, though also a bar area for adults only if you don't want to visit the Restaurant and sit at a table. Live Music plays in the Bar area some evenings.

If you are heading to The Mount Cooth-tha Botanical Gardens or lookout, this is a great place to stop for a coffee and something to eat. You can take your food outside and sit on the grass and watch the birds.

Oh what a shame they have stopped delivering to our house! I'm ashamed to say it, but we used to make use of the McDonald's home delivery service and eat it outside by the fire with a few drinks .....

Coles is about 10 minutes drive from the home and has everything you need for meal time. They also do home delivery, so if you are staying for a few days, it may be worth arranging a food delivery for the day you arrive (through their online ordering service). I find that Wooloworths has a more flexible delivery schedule (more availability with shorter notice), though they aren't as reliable with their delivery window and often turn up late or early. Note, that although the address is officially Brookfield Road, it is quicker to access it via the Moggill Road entrance.

If you are looking for alcohol, Liquorland in Kenmore Village, right next to Coles is the closed location.

Perfect for a free day out with the family, about 15 minutes drive from the house.
Children will love exploring the Botanical Gardens and kid friendly exploration trails.
We enjoy regular visits to the Botanical Gardens and love watching the lizards and wild life.
There is a cafe looking over the lake which we enjoy eating in after a few hours of exploring, however we sometimes take a picnic too, which is lovely for all involved.

If you love nature, breath taking views of the city and fresh air you will love it here.
After perhaps a walk along one of the nature trails, you can finish the day enjoying the view and either a reasonably priced snack at the cafe, or something or expensive at the restaurant.

Located in the same area / parking location as the Mount Cootha Botanical Gardens. If we go to one, we usually visit the other too.
Fun for the children if it is open, though check first as I often find it closed.

A wonderful free day out for the children, right in the heart of Southbank. About an hour from the home on the 444 bus or 30 minutes by car. Plenty of parking for $15 per day.
Start the day with a visit to the Museum and finish it swimming in the free pools of Southbank.
Plenty of cafes and restaurants, though also ideal for a family picknick overlooking the Brisbane River.

If you are tired of traditional Museum's, this one is slightly different. You will need to keep an eye on young children with this interesting Maritime Museum as there are plenty of places a child could fall.
