Planning a work dinner in Brisbane?
El Planta is a relaxed South Brisbane restaurant designed for easy group dining — ideal for work colleagues, conference delegates and mixed tables.
Whether you’re organising a team catch-up, hosting clients or wrapping up a day at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, we make group dinners simple. No awkward ordering. No dietary stress. Just generous food, good drinks and a space that feels social without being overwhelming.
Everything on our menu is plant-based — which means everyone at the table can share freely. No separate “vegan option,” no spotlight on dietary needs, and no one left navigating limited choices.

We’re just a short walk from the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, making us one of the easiest options for group dining in South Brisbane.
