At Doughcraft, our vision is to blend the rich traditions of French and Italian culinary arts, bringing the best of both worlds under one roof. We are dedicated to creating exceptional products with passion, tradition, and authenticity.

From sunrise, our masterful French bakers craft unique viennoiseries and artisanal bread, ensuring every bite transports our customers to a quaint Parisian bakery. By midday, our freshly baked breads become the heart of delightful sandwiches and paninis, perfect for a busy city lunch.

As the sun sets, Doughcraft transforms into an Italian haven. Our skilled Italian chefs take over, infusing the evening with the vibrant flavours of Italy. Whether it’s our hand-made pasta, authentic pizzas, or other Italian specialties, each dish is a testament to our dedication to culinary excellence.

At Doughcraft, we celebrate the unity of these two renowned culinary traditions, offering Brisbane a unique and unforgettable dining experience from morning till night.

    The food was ok my scallops were a bit over cooked but my wife's ravioli was great and her steak tartare was a bit chunky and my prawns were not scaled to what I liked but that's just my opinion. We tried it but won't be back sorry Simone.

    We specifically went to Dough Craft after watching MKR and seeing the most amazing menus created by Simone & Viviana…..we could all but taste it through our tv and had to come try for ourselves and we were not disappointed……the food was magnificent 😋 ….. the service on point and the ambience upbeat yet relaxing…. We even got to see the Chefs in person….beautiful humans….exactly as seen on tv…. Well worth the trip on the train from the Gold Coast, we will absolutely be back 😋

    Pasta was the best I ever had, especially the carbonara, and pizzas were great. But the steak definitely not so much. Sad to say I’ve done much better steak at home . Profiteroles and tiramisu were amazing

    We booked Doughcraft because we'd seen Simone and Viviana on MKR and were so impressed by them. They were exceptional cooks but also humble, kind and respectful people who were great ambassadors for Italy and Queensland. They didn't engage in any back-biting or nastiness while on MKR which made them even more endearing to us and, although they're both very patriotic Italians, we were very proud to claim them as Queenslanders. Doughcraft was fantastic! The food was excellent! We started with arancini balls and cannoli - outstanding! I had a Classic Espresso Martini and it was the best Espresso Martini I've ever had. My husband and I both had the ravioli for main and shared the profiteroles for dessert. Also outstanding! A highlight of the evening was seeing Simone working away at one of the tables. My husband couldn't resist going over and congratulating him. I was concerned this might be annoying as I'm sure he gets congratulated all the time. But, to his credit, Simone was lovely. He wasn't bothered at all and was very friendly. I also saw him being asked for selfies from people at other tables and he was more than happy to oblige. You must try Doughcraft. I honestly couldn't complain about anything. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. We'll definitely be recommending Doughcraft to our family and friends. We can't wait to go back!

    Perhaps not if you are looking for a quiet romantic getaway, as the noise level of the busy restaurant was overwhelming, make sure you ask your waiter about the portion sizes so you know whether to share or go it alone, unfortunately you may have to stay on top of your waiter for your drinks to arrive once ordered. There were both positives and negatives for the dining experiences, thankfully our group still enjoyed a night out.

    The service was very slow, staff were friendly but just a little lacking in attentiveness. Most dishes were lacking in seasoning, it would be good to have Salt and Pepper on the table. Loved the wall art!
