Realy Recommend going here

Exceptional Dining Experience!
My husband and I celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary here last night. The service was impeccable and the dishes selected were beautifully presented and tasted absolutely divine! Set in a quaint Queenslander, the restaurant has a very homely and cosy feel. I also loved the separate rooms and for those that prefer, seating is also available on the front verandah. Dessert was presented on a plate with a happy anniversary message which of course, is always a lovely, thoughtful touch. The drinks menu was also spot on. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of prosecco, however there are many wine, cocktail, spirit and other options. Our evening at The Cottage Restaurant was thoroughly enjoyable and I can 100% recommend this venue for anyone looking for a special place to enjoy fine cuisine! Thank you!

Best in Ipswich
We have been many times, the 7 course degustation with wines is amazing, high tea is just delightful and normal menus are fab as well. Super fancy and just perfect for special occasions. Can not rate high enough.

It is as good as a 2 michelin starred restaraunt in France. It takes me an hour and a half to get there but the experience never seems to fault.

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.

Fine Dining
Always a wonderful experience at The Cottage Restaurant. Food and staff are fantastic

Amazing food and wonderful staff

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!

Every single member of our party was immensely impressed with the food they've consumed. The chef certainly knows how to cook the protein well, and the flavour combinations are very creative, surprising and exciting. Atmosphere was wonderfully intimate. Considering the fine dining experience this place offers, the prices were acceptable. We can highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to challenge their taste buds and have a little dining adventure.

A magnificent meal

The Best Restaurant we have been to!
With a welcoming arrival, our numerous experiences have been above and beyond our expectations. If I could give The Cottage a 10 star rating on their exquisite food and service, I would! Will definitely return!!

Great service
Not only was the food perfection, but the service was fantastic. Young, attentive staff and they even humoured me on my cocktail order. We will definitely be coming back and working our way through the menu. Highly recommend a table on the front verandah, it makes for a great atmosphere with the historical St Mary’s church on the horizon.

Superfood excellent surroundings high quality restaurant
On my first visit to the cottage I was astounded to find a world class restaurant in suburban Ipswich. I have eaten and restaurants across the world of this restaurant can stand against any of them. In addition excellent surroundings and immaculately clean premises

Quality food and friendly staff!

Attentive waitresses, the food was a delicacy, the presentation on our plates was a special touch, the flavours of each item on the plate was exciting and delicious. .

Beautiful ambience, Fantastic service and Exceptional food.

Wonderful food and Excellent Service!
The Cottage Restaurant where the food is cooked and presented perfectly. Mark and Angela opened their restaurant earlier to accommodate our family Saturday Lunch for our Mum's 90th birthday as i found out when I was leaving I mentioned how I couldn't understand why the place wasn't packed Angela said "We don't usually open for lunch" which made us feel so special. Thank you Mark and Angela so very much!

Exceptional food and service!
This restaurant is such a gem in Ipswich town!

Excellent food, wonderful staff, a gem

A First Class Experience
To Mark and Angela and staff
Thank you for amazing food and wonderful service again in 2018. Will return early in 2019. Love the Duck main meal!

Exceptional!
It looks like a little cottage but it's anything but! When I wonder in I'm always greeted by with amazing hospitality a warm smile. Truly one of Ipswich's fine dining hidden treasures.

Intimate dining, amazing food and service
Chef Mark creates the most amazing meals from entrees, mains and desserts. My favourite so far was the Wagyu beef. It was cooked to perfection, and the sides were gorgeous. It is fantastic not to have to travel for the best steak! Also Angela makes a fantastic coffee, with perfect Crema. As a coffee snob she is one of very few Baristas who I give top marks to. I love the venue, the view over Ipswich and the intimate service style. Well done and hope you are here for many years to come.

Always amazing!
Food and service are always exceptional!

Ambience, Service, and a wonderful meal entre main and deserts wonderful
In this restaurant the Chef makes a meal that is all about treating all elements with care and skill in presentation. One melds into another for sheer dining pleasure.

We had heard about The Cottage being one if not the best place in Ipswich to go for excellent food and great service. We were not disappointed, the food was exquisite and the service just as good. The relaxed atmosphere, very friendly and attentive service followed up by a beautiful meal made our wedding anniversary special. I would highly recommend The Cottage to anyone who is looking for an amazing place to dine in Ipswich.

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.
