About the restaurant
Far from the madding crowd Deep in the rainforest at North Tambourine, one of Queensland's most romantic dining experiences awaits. At Pethers Rainforest Retreat, it's all about the ambience and seclusion in relaxed, intimate surrounds, so it's no surprise that this ethos is carried through to Pethers Rainforest Restaurant.
Luckily for us you don't need to be a guest at one of the tree houses to indulge in the superb cuisine on offer. When it's cold enough, an open-sided fireplace crackles invitingly against the backdrop of the spectacular pristine rainforest. We love the chance to slow down for a few hours and forget about the world outside. It's in this spirit that the slow-cooked pork cheek and dry-aged Carnaroli rice risotto seem like obvious choices, as does the sovereign lamb rack with black eye ragu.
Finish the meal off by sharing the sensuous warm fruit tart and a Mount Tambourine affogato, where hot black coffee and your choice of Mount Tambourine Distillery liqueur is poured over a scoop of creamy vanilla ice-cream, and we guarantee you'll find it almost impossible to return to reality. The perfect escape. Best dish: slow-cooked pork cheek
