birches restaurant - User Reviews

Claire Mc:

Please, please, do yourself a favour and try this restaurant. The staff are so great, they make you feel instantly at home. The restaurant has a huge wood burning fire in the middle of it, so winter is a great time to go for ambiance and warmth. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. It is a few kms out of Dayboro, but what a gem in the middle of the rolling acres.review 02/05/2012

This restaurant is one of those forgotten ones because its such a hike to get to. Lucky for my husband and I that we live at Mount Mee and we are blessed to have this amazing restaurant at our doorstep. Not only do you get the most amazing views but also stunning food and friendly local staff who take the time to look after you. The chefs need medals because the food that they are producing is really in another class and can certainly rival any fine dining restaurant in the city. Also can there be any better place than in front of the large open fire on a wintery Sunday morning having a delish breakfast, only thing that could make that better is being able to do it in your pj's. The lambs brains are a chefs speciality and according to my husband these are completely amazing, myself I can not pick one favourite meal because each time I try something new and so far have not come away with anything that was not exceptional.review 01/08/2010

This is by far one of the Best Restaurants in Queensland. It has the view, the atmosphere and the friendliest staff, Chef and Manager you will ever meet. Now for the food it is absolutely outstanding. We have eaten here more times than I can count. The Chefs Specialty Beer battered King Prawns are really beautiful and I love the Eye Fillet Mignon wrapped in bacon with peppercorn sauce not mentioned above. During lunch you can't beat the Gourmet steak sandwich or the Chicken and Mushroom crepes. The drive up to Mt Mee is very scenic and just adds to the trip with a wonderful meal from Birches.review 14/08/2007
