St Bernards Hotel

We visited for lunch, we have been here before for the views and it never disappoints. It was really busy (Saturday lunch) we had booked so got a great table with a view. The menu is varied and good quality. Bar service was quick. Every member of staff was friendly and efficient. A lovely long lunch with friends for us and we will be back. Recommend it highly if you’re visiting mt Tamborine.

We made a reservation & put down that is was our wedding anniversary. ( we had our wedding dinner here 5 years ago ). We requested a outdoor table as we wanted to watch the sunset. We arrived and did not know where to check in for our reservation. No signs anywhere or staff to great people arriving. We wandered to the order desk and asked where do we go. Was walked over to the bar and the lady said our table was just there no.24. Seated right next to the bar. After we specified on our reservation that we wanted an outdoor table. The lady was also rudely yelling at people wondering in if they had a reservation. We had a look outside and was a few tables available. We went back to the reservation "desk" and asked if we could be seated outside. She looked surprised when she checked our reservation & was seated inside in the first place. She said that was fine and to seat anywhere outside. At this time we noticed the tables were all wet and we asked if there was something to wipe down the table. Was handed a rag and was expected to do it ourselves! After we found a table and wiped our own table down the table was rocky as anything. We just got up and left. Such bad service & extremely disappointed! Would not recommend. Never have we just walked out of a restaurant before and especially on our wedding anniversary. To specify it was a special occasion on the reservation & be treated so poorly on a night that was special to us. To be handed a rag and expected us to clean our own table is poor service. Probably great place for a beer and some cafe food but apart from that I wouldn't call it a restaurant. Owners do not care clearly by judging on how many bad reviews on other couples dinner experiences here & no response back to rectify these.

Lunch only, a stay next time. The view is magnificent and set amongst the trees. Truly delightful. The food selection and quality is well above Hotel traditional faire. Beautifully cooked. Service levels high and very friendly. Such a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Unreal views from Tamborine hinterland and excellent service from bar staff members. The food was sensational too. Went at full service on a Sunday and you could see the consistency of food coming out the kitchen. Great spot.

We came here yesterday for lunch after a long trip. Location is perfect! Food is good 😊 . For me and my friends it’s more of a place where it is perfect to sit, chill and just enjoy a place away from the busy city streets. Their food menu offers a variety of options. As for the food that we’ve ordered, they were all good and in reasonable price! We are pleased to meet their 3 beautiful and friendly St Bernards. Highly recommend this place.

Had lunch at the St Bernard’s hotel. Was delicious! The view is incredible. I would recommend making a reservation if visiting on a weekend as it was absolutely packed. One of our favourite places to stop on Tamborine Mountain- will definitely be back.

The view was great, the food was great, the service was great as well. The hotel looks a little dated in places but it is over 100 years old, so I can forgive it. If you go you'd better like St Bernards, (the dog). This is a place with history and with the visit.

We had a party of seven and reserved a table. We were placed outside but the hostess was accommodating and said there were tables indoors. We had lovely meals even though there was a wait, but that's because the meals were great. You could see they were a well oiled shop, a few of our party worked in hospitality and noticed the staff did a great job of talking to each other and doing what needed to be done. Well done St. Bernards. It's busy cos it's the place to be!

After a long day of driving and exploring nature, we decided to wet our whistles and stop at this special place. It's a hotel that reminded me of Germany from the parking lot side. Inside you quickly see the namesake St Bernard dogs who own the joint, which their own room and freedom to roam around. Inside it felt like a traditional British style pub with a good selection of beer and food. We only got drinks out, with the real draw being the patio out back that overlooks the mountains and valleys beyond. There were paths below and gardens with flowers too. Clearly this is the most popular area as they had lots of tables of varying sizes and many happy parties enjoying the view too. There were also many amazing birds flying around and perching on the railings. If you're nearby, this is a great spot. I'm sure it'd be fun to stay at the hotel too.

Great place! Friendly staff and beautiful views. Menu offers many options. I had the Guinness meat pie and it did not disappoint.

Fantastic location and view with friendly animals. Tasty food and great coffee, worth friendly staff.

I really am a fan of this place. Whilst visiting the Gold Coast for the Easter Break (2015) we came across St. Bernard's by chance when we were desperately looking for a late lunch. The truly inviting and imposing entrance gets you wondering what is behind the front doors to the big white building. The gardens are lush and green and covered in vehicles parking anywhere. Through the entrance you enter a rich room of lounges, tables and chairs with white wales with chocolate trimmings - this place is so European Old School. Then through the main 'gathering and lounging' area you walk out onto a big alfresco area which is spacious and boasts one of the most outstanding views (for a beer garden) in Australia. You see a massive valley which sweeps to the right and right out to the sea behind Surfers Paradise. How can this place be - something so fabulous, real and sincere so close to the neon trash and tourism tacky that is Surfer's Paradise? Who cares! We are here, we have a table outside, the weather is sensational and the kitchen is open. The restaurant footprint for this place is massive. You keep finding rooms (and marquess) with tables. The menu is simple comfort food and done well. The perfect menu for everyone, especially kids and the less adventurous diners. Considering the time of year and the numbers of tourists, our food came out at a reasonable time. There are a couple of things I might gripe about St. Bernards - the outside dining area needs to have to ground redone so it is level, car parking was a bit hap-hazard (but this might have been down to the season) plus the dessert were a bit sad, but this too was because it was Easter Monday and their would not have been many supplier working. I can not wait to come back ..... at any time of the year.

On a day trip out of Brisbane recently, a friend and I came across this cute Germanic-looking hotel and restaurant, a perfect spot for lunch. I can't comment on the accommodation, but the restaurant puts on a good fare, the atmosphere is nice and the gardens full of colour. Meal sizes are pretty big, but the prices are a bit hefty. I had the Petite Filet Mignon ($28.50) and my friend had the Fish and Chips ($21.50). Both were delicious. After we'd finished eating and relaxing in the garden, we went off exploring some of the walking paths that lead off from the hotel. One path goes to a waterfall, but it's a bit disappointing. There's barricading around it and it all looks a bit man-made. Best to go in search of other waterfalls on Mt Tamborine, of which there are several. St Bernards restaurant is a lovely destination for day-trippers from Brisbane, but if I went again, I'd look for something a little cheaper.

Upon arrival we where greeted by a massive St Bernard dog asleep on the front porch. It didn't move much during our stay. On entering the hotel it was like entering a medieval pub, wood carved tables and chairs. It was clean and had a charming feel about it, including a wood fire place. And the scenery fantastic , upon looking at menu it was expensive , but hey, who minds if the view is this good, and there is ambience . My daughter had the steak burger and I had the chicken burger . Compared the price with what we received and the burgers where worth every cent we left full, this place is really worth a look. The service was prompt and efficient , and beer cold.

Stunning views, icy cold beer & huge portions of tasty food. And let's not forget the adorable Leo. Well worth checking it out after a day of hiking around Mount Tambourine.

It's lovely here. We ate a delicious meal, stayed the night and enjoyed breakfast and walks through the rainforest. The old fashioned hospitality was matched by the charm of being in the old world hotel, which was like stepping back in time 100 years. You'll pay a bit more to eat and stay on one of our most beautiful mountains, but it's worth it and I'll definitely be back.

A very ordinary meal. As visitors from out of town we were recommended to eat here. The meal was dreadful with over cooked fish that was hard. The meal was something I would not expect to receive anywhere, let alone a place like this.
