About Rainforest Restaurant

Nestled amid lush greenery on Tamborine Mountain Road, Rainforest Restaurant offers an enchanting dining escape beneath a canopy of towering trees and dappled sunlight. A winding path leads guests to a timber-clad haven where nature sets the mood - the gentle murmur of a nearby creek, birdsong filtering through the leaves and the earthy scent of the rainforest in the air. Inside, warm timber tones and soft lighting mirror the natural serenity outside, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and untamed. Every meal becomes a sensory journey, where fine dining meets the raw beauty of the hinterland — enjoy a breakfast of roasted tomatoes, herbs, Parmesan and balsamic glaze, or dine later on crispy skin salmon, scallops, pea purée, charred corn, cucumber and lemon butter sauce.

A few words from Rainforest Restaurant

This autumn, our chefs present a seasonal menu celebrating the flavours of Tamborine Mountain and the Scenic Rim. Begin with dishes like chimichurri marinated prawn skewers, lemon pepper squid or chorizo and wagyu beef meatballs, before moving into comforting mains such as miso glazed barramundi, braised lamb shoulder with sweet potato mash or our vibrant vegan paella. From the grill, premium cuts including Angus rump and eye fillet showcase quality Australian produce. Paired with fresh seasonal sides and enjoyed in the relaxed rainforest setting, the menu captures the warmth and richness of autumn dining on the mountain.
