Exquisite Lunch

We travelled over an hour to have lunch and it was well worth it. The restaurant is in a quaint Queenslander built in 1861 so has a really nice atmosphere. The food was exquisite as was the wine & service. Would thoroughly recommend it.

The food was impeccable, the service was paced which is great, and the value for what you get is remarkable. For anyone who wants a great night out with friends and family I highly recommend the cottage restraunt.

As my wife and I booking was 6 30 we arrived a bit earlier choosing to order some fantastic cocktails like the Toblerone and vampire kiss. They were simply delicious.

As we began our 7 course degustation consisting of such a versatile and unique set of courses. The quail was mouth watering so gracefully paired with a brandade, sweet chard capsicum, and salsa Verde.

The eccentric palette cleanser was a cucumber sorbet which was so refreshing especially as it's summer.

The search sirloin, nasturtium, mushroom gel, potato sarladaises and jue was phenomenal.

Closely followed by our final course which was dessert consists of chocolate tart, resperries, and a creme fraiche sorbet which ended our meal so wonderfully leaving us with such a happy and unforgettable experience.

As I only stated a few courses from the 7 degustation. Spending less than 300 dollars I was outstanding by the remarks of the value the cottage restraunt consists of in their character and their food.

Thank you we will be back very soon.

A big thank you to Angela, Mark and staff at The Cottage for making my mother's 80th birthday just perfect. The set up, food and service was outstanding. We had 30 guests ranging in age from 5-85 years with everyone accommodated for. I strongly recommend The Cottage Restaurant for your next function, special event or dining experience.

A Christmas Treat My family and I enjoyed every course. There were some foods that so typically do not eat that even I loved, because it was clearly prepared with skill and care.
A wonderful place, homey feel with 5-star food. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas meal!15/12/2023

A beautiful dining experience from start to finish. We selected the Wagu beef for 2, it was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The wait time for meals was acceptable, allowing us to enjoy the lovely ambience of the restaurant. The wait staff were attentive without being intrusive, overall a very enjoyable and pleasant dining experience. Well done to all concerned.
