Gorgeous place to get you out of the city for the day…read more Perched at the top of The Head road Spring Creek Mountain Cafe & Cottages little is a great place to stop off if you feel like busting out of the urban jungle on the weekend. The cafe churns out a respectable selection for a small kitchen manned by only a couple of staff AND they have Merlo coffee. Prices are not outrageous especially if you're used to the city. There is a light meal and breakfast menus with daily chalkboard specials. We went for afternoon tea - devonshire tea w/ 2 scones and cheese board - triple cream brie & vintage cheddar, muscatels & lavosh (there was actually a wide range of cheese to choose from I'm just a bit boring with my cheese). Staff were very friendly and we had such a nice time we went back for breakfast the next day! Coconut porridge and herb & cheese omelette were really tasty - our friends got The Works and Eggs Benedict. Total bill $98 - incl coffees & drinks (no split bills). The view is amazing and you will find yourself staring off at it during your meal. Well worth the visit!

The ribs were perfectly fall off the bone done and just the right amount of sauce. The full rack was on a bed of fries and fresh slaw on the top.

Slow season but still good crowds for a Monday. Had a good promo if you use yelp and check in and they already had a good special for pizza and pasta. Would come again to try the rice dish for lunch!

Mount Glorious Restaurant & Cafe was originally a dairy farm built in the 1930's and known as…read more"Cloverlea Cottage"; the original homestead still stands and was developed into this restaurant in the late 1970's. The view from the outdoor seating is beautiful. You can see views of Moreton and Stradbroke Islands, the Redcliffe Peninsula and south to the Port of Brisbane from an altitude of 683 metres. You literally feel like you're on the top of the world. I came here with a party of people after (somewhat casually) hiking through the beautiful Mount Glorious trails. It was originally a hot day driving here from the Brisbane CBD, but by the time we got to the top of the mountain the air was actually crisp. It was a shock to the skin (and I didn't think to bring a jumper or jacket) but signifies how high up you actually are here. Those with vertigo should know the view from the restaurant's seating is a gorgeous panorama; it's not exactly set into the mountain face as such, so there's no feeling of a sudden drop as you look out over the mountains and gorges. We only ate coffee and dessert, not feeling up to the mains after eating a bag of Kopiko sweets. Both my coffee and cheesecake were good, but afterwards I wished I'd ordered my friend's strawberry milkshake. It was delicious. It was offered to another member of our party, who declined, stating she was allergic to strawberry milkshakes. I'd never heard of this, and it wasn't until years later that I heard of people with allergies to red food colouring. (A strange segue there, but it's funny how your memory selects to remember the little incidents pertaining to broader experiences.) The facade of the place is absolutely gorgeous; the building is beautifully painted and you feel like you're in a rich country manor that has been re-painted for modern times. I also saw quite a few pretty, large-ish birds wandering around the place and a slow-moving, indifferent domesticated cat. This also contributes towards the feeling of being on someone's rich country manor from some bygone time.

Due to that, for the non-rider it is a wonderful place to meet friendly locals who will be eager to tell you all you want to know (maybe a bit more, haha) about just about anything, make recommendations if you are a tourist, etc. The current owner and his family are wonderful people who have been steadily improving the place. If not slammed busy, he's happy to sit and have a chat. The diversity and travel experience of the regulars is unrivalled. Wanna hear a great story? Buy a cup of coffee, say hello to someone who rides, and sit back and enjoy a terrific experience.

The service was obviously quick, as you would expect, but we were impressed by the personal touches that made it a lovely and warm experience, rather than awkward and quiet. The host gave us insight into the area and recommended a couple of sights to check out, in between pouring drinks and bringing out amazing food. We also quite liked the atmosphere of the restaurant - an old cottage style building which felt right at home amongst farms and ranges on a mountain top. The one distracting factor was the sappy and dated pop music, though I can forgive it as most people probably don't mind it and it wasn't overly loud. I'm sure the experience would differ on a busy night, but I still felt that the lovely nature of our host would stand out. On it's own, the food was amazing and moderately priced, so I can easily recommend a visit!
