The glitz and glamour of New York’s Hamptons has arrived at Brisbane’s Portside Wharf with the recent opening of Fosh bar and restaurant.

The latest venue from hospitality veteran Michael Tassis of Tassis Group, Fosh brings a sleek yet laidback vibe paired with the freshest Australian seafood.
For this new venture, Mr Tassis hopes this exceptional dining experience will spark or reignite people’s love for seafood cuisine. The restaurateur, who’s also behind the likes of Massimo Restaurant & Bar and Yamas Greek + Drink, can’t think of a better location to do so than directly by the water.
Mr Tassis’ passion for seafood began in his youth whilst working at his father’s restaurant, George’s Paragon Seafood Restaurant, located in Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast.
For over a decade, Mr Tassis has loved visiting Portside Wharf and enjoying its truly unique waterfront location. When the opportunity arose to secure a restaurant space with prime river frontage, he felt it was a chance too good to pass up. He now looked forward to being part of the precinct’s exciting, new future and continued evolution, with the Wharf anticipated to undergo a $20-million makeover.
True to its promise, seafood at Fosh travels from ocean to plate in less than 24 hours. The menu offers everything from fish finger sandwiches with tartare sauce to fresh oysters, impressive seafood platters and live lobster or mud crab available daily. For those who prefer land fare, Fosh also serves high-quality cuts of meat.
Complementing the sea-to-table offerings is an extensive cocktail list and wine menu fit for the Hamptons elite. Guests can sip and savour at the glamorous island bar area or lounge before heading outside to the alfresco terrace with its uninterrupted river views.
The restaurant’s head chef is Vikash Gurung, who brings his mastery of Japanese dry ageing techniques to enhance the flavours of the fine local produce. Under his stewardship, Fosh promises a menu that’s both sustainable and seriously tasty.
