Best Restaurants in Newstead

The former industrial inner city suburb of Newstead has been transformed into a bustling urban hub, where modern apartment blocks are interspersed with relics of its working history, including the landmark heritage-listed Gas Ring, the sole remnant of the Gasworks that once operated here.
