About The Long Apron

Signature restaurant of Montville’s picturesque Spicers Clovelly Estate, The Long Apron is a dining experience that insists on a lengthy stay. This intimate restaurant feels instantly inviting and once seated in the elegant yet comfortable dining room, with its natural rattan and black timber curved chairs and white tablecloths, or out on the terrace gazing over the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, you’ll find it hard to leave. Most alluring are the seasonal European-inspired dishes on the menu, which blend classic techniques with the finest local produce. Delve into the likes of venison tartare, cured egg yolk, black garlic gel, radish and a buckwheat cracker to start; followed by roasted pork roulade, kohlrabi fondant, celeriac remoulade and horseradish sauce, best enjoyed with matching wines.

A great and tasty set menu for lunch!

Wow! Where to start, the whole experience was just perfect. We arrived on twilight and were quickly seated, the two waitresses that took care of us for the night were exceptional. Our glasses were never empty, our questions answered and most importantly they were passionate. We had the 5 course meal and my partner and i shared each dish so we both didn't miss out. We were pleasantly surprised at the perfect sized portions and were blown away with the tastes in each dish. No dish was lacking for flavour however our favourites were the Crab and the Bug. The deserts were to die for with the creamed rice just melting in your mouth and the sorbet bursting with flavour and crunch. The Long Apron has now become our all time favourite restaurant on the coast, it is worth the drive.

I recently celebrated my 60th birthday at The Long Apron with 10 close family members and friends. They all agreed that the food was some of the best they had ever tasted, if not THE best. The only negative feedback was some people were cold with a breeze coming through a side entrance but it was unusually cold and windy for this region. I would definitely recommend this dining experience to anyone and everyone.

Tasting menu has to be on everyone's bucket list. Truly inspiring presentation and flavours. Warm personal service, attentive, never overbearing. Lovely location, overall The Long Apron was a faultless dining experience. And we all know how hard these are to find.
