Rainforest Restaurant & Lounge Bar

Lovely food - all plates good.

Staff were fantastic. Food was disappointing. Everything was deep fried. We had large shared platter for two and besides the barramundi everything is battered or crumbed and deep fried. We also had large dish or barramundi and that was also battered and deep fried and the chips looked like they have been soaking in oil for far too long. Very disappointing as the look and feel of the restaurant was great and we looked forward to a lovely dinner.

I forgot it was school holidays. 2 tables of screaming toddlers was not great. They finally left so they turned the music on with a speaker on top of our heads. The food was great but, I wouldn’t go there on a weekend. Service was very slow.

This restaurant is located in Thunderbird Park, about a 10 minute drive south of Tambourine Mountain township. A car is necessary to access it. We found the signage to access the driveway a bit unhelpful, coming from the town (you have to make a sharp right from the highway, otherwise you end up in the National Park picnic area. The restaurant was COVID-safe, although having to register all three family members separately was a bit inconvenient (most restaurants offer a QR-code system that allows one person to register the entire family). We had requested a window table, which we received, and the outlook was nice. They offer "small" and "large" plates, but vegetarian options are limted to the "small" plate menu. Our waitress suggested ordering two small plates, which came to about the same price as a large plate. The g=food I chose was excellent. Only complaint was the shoestring chips we ordered to share were over-salted. The restaurant is licenced, and the wine prices were reasonable per glass but a bit pricey per bottle. Overall, an excellent experience; highly recommended.

Lovely little restaurant, great ambience and decor. We ordered the share platter and although most of the food was tasty, it is very expensive for what you receive and the portions are small.

Food delicious. Good atmosphere apart from the flies

Excellent food, will be going back

Stayed at Cedar Creek for the weekend and had dinner here both nights. Food was exceptional and the service was just as comparable. Way above expectations. We did the share plates one night and had large plates the next night. Can’t tell you which I preferred :) Booked for Easter and can’t wait to come back.

Had lunch with friends here. The food was so delicious. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and recommended a heap of share plates for us to share. Glad we went with his suggestion!!! Had a lovely table overlooking the gardens. It was very busy but you wouldn’t have known by the level of service we received,

The staff where very friendly and well presented. The food was so tasty and very affordable! The good came out fast and was beautifully presented.

our daughter had chips and nuggets and for $9 she had more to eat then me .when my meat was $32 a rack of lamb which had meat the size of a match box and a few carrots 2 baked spuds and spinach, maybe they could match the meal sizes with the over the top menu description and the top on off the lamb was over cooked but after waiting 45min for the feed we just wanted out of there.

The Rainforest restaurant was amazing. The ambiance, scenery and food was exception. Great value for the quality of the food, the smaller tapas selection were very reasonable and perfect size especially the lamb shoulder- it melted in your mouth. Would highly recommend to experience this restaurant

The restaurant was nice enough and the outdoor seating area was pretty, I was a bit disappointed with the food however, it was just overpriced for the amount you got.

Second time here and just gets better and better. The food is beautiful and I can’t fault the service. Will definitely be back, soon!

Came here with my friends and our waitress was so kind and lovely and understanding. Thank you Kim for all your help !! Made our night so much more enjoyable.

We have waited 1 hour for main food to arrive and when it arrived it wasn't even hot. Not sure why such a long wait as there was around 3 tables to service. Very disappointed with the service as given the long wait no one offered drinks which we were happy to buy while we wait so there is already loss to the business not very well managed. Food tasted OK but didn't feel fresh like the rump steak and lamb rack.

A really lovely atmosphere, with a variety of yummy food to select from and some nice local wine. Table service was professional and friendly. Night time dining is extra special.

The food was amazing. My girlfriend and I took the share plate and it definitely worth it! Amazing on flavour as well. However, we booked the restaurant thinking about eating outside, as shown in the pictures, what it wasn't offered to us.

Kim was welcoming and accommodating. The cocktails were delicious but expensive. The share platter was also delicious but expensive. A great one off traet.

Booked a table for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Couldn’t fault anything - warm welcome, great service, and speedy food delivery. We got 3 large platters between 6 adults and it was just enough plus we still had room for dessert. Bonus! All the food was delicious!
