The Best Places to Eat Near Bergen Toowoomba, by the Record
-
Rank 1. Bergen Toowoomba
Modern Australian
-
Rank 2. Homage Restaurant
Modern Australian
Set on a vast cattle station an hour from Brisbane, this fine dining room draws almost everything on the plate from its own market garden, orchard, beehives, and free-range farm, or from producers just down the road. Fire, smoke, coal pits, and a fermentation room full of pickled jars do the heavy lifting in the kitchen. The Australian Good Food Guide awards it Two Chef Hats, and the menu shifts whenever the land says so.

Rank 3. The Peak Restaurant at Spicers Peak Lodge
Contemporary Australian
A stone fireplace anchors the dining room while the Great Dividing Range fills the windows, which is a reasonable way to set expectations for a meal. This is a fine dining restaurant inside a mountain lodge, running a contemporary Australian menu that leans on regional produce and native flavours. The Australian Good Food Guide has given it Two Chef Hats. At over 1,100 metres up, the terrace sunsets arrive uninvited and stay too long.
