Weekend Brunch in the Mountains
Rug up and head to the mountains for some hearty winter fare with a scenic view. Here are four cafes and restaurants within 90 minutes' drive of Brisbane, perfect for a weekend brunch:
Pitstop on Mt Mee is a quirky country style café in a corrugated iron shed atop Mt Mee, with some of the most stunning vistas in south-east Queensland, is a weekend destination unto itself.
Outside is a lawn dining terrace with jaw-dropping views on the mountain edge and a black 1960s Falcon signed by years of visitors while inside is festooned with motorcycle and automobile memorabilia.
Perched at the top of the Toowoomba range is Picnic Point Cafe and Restaurant, where the locals and visitors gather for good food and spectacular views.
Se amidst the Australian bushland, the café and restaurant boasts both alfresco and indoor dinning with incredible panoramic views over the gum trees, range and the horizon.
Adding to its magnificent atmosphere, the popular dining spot draws in rays of sunshine and warmth through the floor to ceiling windows while white vases with yellow posies highlights one of Toowoomba’s major attractions.
CAFE IN THE MOUNTAINS HAS CLOSED.
Cafe in the Mountains at Mt Nebo is a rustic mountain top cafe in a peaceful setting with an undercover verandah overlooking tranquil valleys.
Fresh air, serene views over D'Aguilar National Park, and great food are the highlights of Cafe In The Mountains. The peaceful rainforest setting provides a perfect spot to stop and enjoy the mountain village - seated on the undercover verandah, indoors on comfy lounges or outdoors amongst nature.
This boutique mountaintop coffee plantation, the only one in South East Queensland, is a must visit for coffee connoisseurs.
Nestled within beautiful acreage, Tamborine Mountain Coffee Plantation, with its onsite cafe, makes a perfect stopover for day trippers or visitors staying on Tamborine Mountain.
