Chef Shane Delia to open signature restaurant at Brisbane’s Thomas Dixon Centre
Renowned Australian chef, restaurateur, and television personality Shane Delia (pictured below) will launch a signature restaurant at the Thomas Dixon Centre in early 2025, heralding an exciting new chapter for the cultural hub in West End.

Partnering with VenuesLive, Queensland Ballet’s hospitality partner, and the Delia Group, the Centre will transform into a vibrant dining and event destination, blending arts, culture, and Brisbane’s culinary scene.

Delia owns acclaimed Melbourne restaurants Maha, Maha East, Maha North and Jayda, as well as Biggie Smalls outlets in Melbourne and Perth. Known for his media presence, he has hosted award-winning television series including Spice Journey and Middle East Feast, which explore the beauty and mystique of Middle Eastern cuisine.

Commenting on the new venture, Delia advised “creating a signature restaurant at the Thomas Dixon Centre is an incredible opportunity.

“I look forward to bringing my passion for bold flavours, rich spices, and diverse culinary traditions to Brisbane, crafting an experience that complements Queensland Ballet’s artistic excellence.”

The new restaurant will feature an evolving menu inspired by global flavours, taking guests on an “unrestricted spice journey.”

Beyond this, the Centre will also introduce a café offering artisanal products, grab-and-go options, and locally sourced menus, enhancing the overall visitor experience.
