Two new hidden gems await in Brisbane CBD. The Boom Boom Room and Donna Chang at George Street are new additions to the Brisbane foodie scene that offer luxurious dining experience in the heritage listed building.

What used to be a bank vault now serves as a unique underground bar whilst the upper restaurant focuses on serving Modern Chinese cuisine.
