Frommer's Review

It would be hard to find a better view of Brisbane than from this spot. A teahouse of some kind has been on this mountaintop for more than a century. Part 19th-century Queenslander house and part modern extension, the restaurant has wraparound covered decks with a view of the city and Moreton Bay. A changing menu features local produce and wines. Try saltwater barramundi filet, or grilled Queensland Hereford tenderloin beef with a Moreton Bay bug tail. The early-bird offer -- A$30 (US$27/£14) for three courses if you finish by 7pm -- is available starting at 5pm. There's also a kids' menu of two courses for less than A$15 (US$14/£6.75). When you've finished dining, spend some time on the observation deck -- the city lights provide a glittering panorama.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
