Marhaba Café is a simple central-CBD food stop inside the basement level of Brisbane City Hall. The Brisbane City Council visitor page (opens in a new tab) says it is operated by the Good Food Project and serves freshly prepared menu items with frequently changing specials. It is best used as a convenient pause within a City Hall, King George Square or Museum of Brisbane visit, rather than a standalone destination requiring a special trip.
Know the entry and operating window
The café’s entry is via 64 Adelaide Street, with Council listing its current hours as 7am to 3pm Monday to Friday. Those are service details that can change around public holidays or venue activity, so check directly before relying on it for a specific meal. City Hall itself has separate public opening times and separate access arrangements.
Fit it into a City Hall visit
City Hall is in King George Square, close to CBD transport and a short walk from train stations, ferry terminals and bus stops. The Museum of Brisbane is on Level 3; free building tours and bookable clock-tower tours offer a natural reason to stop at the precinct. Marhaba works most naturally before or after one of those activities, especially for a weekday lunch without leaving the building.
The offer is intentionally described broadly by Council, so avoid treating a past menu or special as current. Visitors with dietary, allergen or accessibility needs should confirm details with the café before ordering. For anyone travelling specifically for food, the café’s weekday-only opening is the main planning constraint.
