New Filipino restaurant set to open in Ipswich on Monday

Los Bryant's Coffee and You are set to bring Filipino flavours to Ipswich, taking over the former noodle bar on Carr Street. It will welcome diners from Monday.

Los Bryant's Coffee and You

The big picture: The restaurant is owned by 59-year-old Filipina Perlita Bryant, who lives in Ipswich. It will occupy the former I Love Noodle bar unit, which closed in July after operating for two years.

Why it matters: It's another occupied premise on our high street and not a mobile phone repair shop, offering residents a taste of Filipino cuisine that isn't currently available elsewhere in the town.

Key details:

  • Signs for the new restaurant have been put up
  • Refurbishment work is underway inside the building
  • An official opening date has not yet been announced

Backstory: The Carr Street location has seen several changes in recent years:

  • Subway occupied the premises until 2018
  • The unit was vacant for several years after Subway's departure
  • I Love Noodle took over the space in late 2022

What's next: The restaurant is currently being fitted out and is set to open its doors to diners on Monday. We look forward to giving it a try.
