Welcome to Poppies — Southbank's favourite table.Poppies was born from a simple idea: a place named after our daughter, where every guest feels like family. Damien and Zoey opened the doors on Little Stanley Street with one goal: to create the kind of neighbourhood restaurant they always wished existed. Somewhere warm, unhurried, and genuinely good.Today, Poppies is Southbank's go-to for all-day brunch, long lunches, and easy evenings. From Allpress specialty coffee at sunrise to signature cocktails long after dark — the food is honest, the welcome is genuine, and the table is always yours.Whether you're joining us for our famous Bánh Mì Burger, Snow Crab Linguine, or a pre-show dinner before QPAC or BCEC (both a short walk away), there's no rush and no rules. Just great food and good company
