About Birches Restaurant

Perched atop Mount Mee, Birches pairs open valley views with crackling hearthside warmth and hearty multi-course dining. The mountain ascent leads straight to a heritage dining room anchored by a roaring central fireplace. Out on the timber deck, lunch feels like dining directly among the treetops. Visitors regularly point out the sheer heft of the portions—leaving hungry simply is not an option. The kitchen works regional ingredients into dishes like eye fillet with bacon jam alongside Moreton Bay bug and duck spring rolls. Plates arrive generous and unhurried, rounded out by gluten-free choices and desserts like warm crumble or banoffee cheesecake.

  • Mountain Treetop Deck: Tables on the elevated balcony sit right in the canopy, looking across rolling hills and tree line views.
  • Central Open Fireplace: A large wood fireplace stands at the centre of the heritage dining room, keeping cool mountain afternoons warm.
  • Hearty Portion Sizes: Multi-course orders come with exceptionally substantial plate sizes that frequently require takeaway boxes.
