About Jonez on Ephraim

Tucked away by the bridge on Ephraim Island, this tranquil dining room delivers classic French craft without the Gold Coast clamour. Locals treat it as an open secret for milestone dinners, uncorking their own vintage wine alongside Gary Jones’s deeply reduced sauces and fresh Moreton Bay bug tails. The kitchen leans unapologetically into time-honoured heritage cooking—think rich lamb brains, ox tongue, and quail ballotine before finishing with a delicate spun-sugar pannacotta.

  • BYO Bottle Welcome: Enjoys full licensing alongside BYO privileges, letting diners bring vintage wine and celebratory champagne bottles to the table.
  • Heritage Cuts & Classical Technique: The kitchen leans into heritage technique with offal and game preparations, including lamb brains, ox tongue, and rabbit shortcrust pie.
  • Refined Milestone Celebrations: A calm, unhurried water-facing setting built for milestone birthdays and intimate anniversary dinners where conversation carries easily.
