I preface this review by saying I have lived all over the world — from Beverly Hills to London and everywhere in between — and have been a regular at some of the most celebrated restaurants on the planet: Spago, the Ritz, Maxim’s, to name but a few. I am quite easily pleased — I am perfectly happy with the very best of everything.
Which brings me to Mason Winery. Now living on Tamborine Mountain, I can say without hesitation that Mason Winery is my happy place. It is, by a wide margin, the best restaurant on the mountain and stands head and shoulders above anything on the Gold Coast.
I dine there weekly. It’s where I take my most sophisticated and fussy friends — people who truly understand fine food and wine — and every time, it makes me proud to show off this exceptional local gem.
The chef there is simply world-class. He has a level of talent that would see him welcomed into the finest kitchens in Paris, New York or London, yet he chooses to bring his brilliance to this small, boutique restaurant on Tamborine Mountain. That means we locals and visitors alike are treated to dishes of extraordinary quality, crafted with imagination and precision, all in a wonderfully relaxed setting.
A Rare, Unequivocal 10
It is not often I give a perfect score, but Mason Winery is an unquestionable 10 out of 10. In truth, I cannot think of another restaurant in Queensland I would rate above a 7. It really is faultless.
Trust me. Do yourself a favour, you will be pleased you did.
