Our pick

Clarke Quay, Boat Quay or Robertson Quay for an evening?

Robertson Quay is our pick for dinner, because upstream the river is calmer and the restaurants are better. Boat Quay is for a dusk walk past original shophouses, and Clarke Quay is the loud one, with bars and a river-cruise jetty. The three sit in a line, so one evening can take in all of them.
