Fourteen years ago, we set out to build something deeply connected to who we are. Gerard’s was a restaurant shaped by the culture, generosity and traditions passed down through our extended ‘Gerard’s’ family.
Its foundations have always stretched beyond our walls and we wanted to share the richness of Levantine cuisine and culture with Brisbane in a way that felt authentic and contemporary. Gerard’s was a leap of faith, taken on the vibrant James Street.
In a few months, the team that have purchased Gerard’s will re-open. We couldn’t be happier to be passing our venue onto custodians we know will keep the spirit of generosity, warmth and the sense of culture alive. Details of who writes the next chapter will come out next month.
Our final service will be Saturday 4th of July.
To everyone who has been part of this journey - our team, suppliers, collaborators, the James Street community and our guests who have graced our tables…THANK YOU.
The Gerard’s journey was made possible because of all of you.
Lots of love, the Gerard’s Team.
