MB2 marbling melts directly into the cut for maximum juiciness and a intense savory finish without being heavy.

There’s something new happening at Restaurant 1889, with Townsville local Dakota Campbell taking the lead as Head Chef and bringing a fresh direction to the restaurant.

Dakota’s passion for food started at a young age, inspired by his mother’s love of cooking and baking.

After beginning his career at The Ville Resort-Casino and training under some of Townsville’s leading chefs, his journey took him overseas to Canada, where he further developed his skills and discovered new influences that continue to shape the way he cooks today.

His approach is all about flavour, balancing ingredients, creating dishes that are a little different, and making food that people genuinely get excited about.

Beautifully presented and bursting with flavour, Dakota believes you eat with your eyes first, so every dish is designed to look as good as it tastes.

For Dakota, a great meal should be more than something you simply eat. He wants guests to discover a dish they love so much that their first thought is, “I need to bring someone back here to try this.”

Crisp, rich, tart.

South Australian duck breast en croûte with mushroom duxelles, prosciutto, and North QLD stone fruit jus.

Our own Legends Lager’s clean, crisp finish cuts directly through the rich fat of the duck and buttery pastry, resetting the palate against the tart acidity of the stone fruit jus.
