Attention, Brisbane foodies and champagne lovers! There’s a chic new spot in town that’s guaranteed to make your heart go ooh la la. Say bonjour to Pompette Champagne Bar & Restaurant, the latest must-visit venue to grace The Terrace at The Star Brisbane. With its bubbly vibe and Parisian charm, this newcomer is set to steal the spotlight—and your taste buds.
Parisian vibes, Brisbane style
Nestled right at the base of the Neville Bonner pedestrian bridge, Pompette isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. Picture this: champagne in hand, caviar on your plate, and sweeping views of the Brisbane River, South Bank Parklands, and the Channel 7 Wheel. If that doesn’t scream très magnifique, we don’t know what does.
Brought to life by the Tassis Group—the brains behind Dark Shepherd—Pompette is all about bringing French cuisine to the people in a way that’s sophisticated yet totally approachable. “French cuisine has always captivated me with its artistry and technique,” says Michael Tassis, the man behind the magic. “With Pompette, we wanted to make it inviting and shareable, a place where everyone feels welcome.” Mission accomplished, monsieur!
Style that’s très chic
From the moment you walk in, Pompette’s design will have you swooning. The interiors are a playful mix of blush pinks, brushed brass, and navy blues. Whether you’re sipping champagne at the stunning 16-metre marble bar, lounging on the leafy outdoor terrace, or hosting a private event in one of the three luxe dining rooms, every corner of Pompette oozes glamour and charm.
A menu worth toasting
Heading up the kitchen is Jean Luc Morcellet, a chef who knows how to blend tradition with modern flair. Expect French classics like Escargot, Steak au Poivre, and Crème Brûlée, alongside show-stoppers like Canard à l’Orange, Toothfish Bouillabaisse, and Bouef en Croûte. And let’s not forget the Baguette with blue cheese butter—because who can say no to carbs done très bien?
Seafood lovers, rejoice! Pompette boasts the Tassis Group’s first-ever dedicated oyster bar, where fresh shucking is the name of the game. Feeling extra fancy? Indulge in premium caviar or go all out with a ‘French Kiss’—a caviar bump served with frozen Ariana vodka. Talk about joie de vivre!
Let’s talk bubbles
As a champagne bar, Pompette’s beverage menu is as impressive as its food. With over 40 types of French champagne and 150+ wines from iconic regions like Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux, there’s a pour for every palate. Prefer something else? The bar’s got you covered with signature cocktails, spritzes, beers, and even non-alcoholic options for those keeping it chill.
Open seven days a week for all-day dining from 11am until late, Pompette is ready to become your new go-to for everything from post-work drinks to special celebrations.
