THE WINE BARREL Restaurant and Lounge

It might sound like a drinking spot but The Wine Barrel in Mudgeeraba is in fact a most delightful country restaurant.

Warm and cosy in the winter with its crackling open fire place, it is equally as comfortable and inviting during summer.

Owner-chef Warren Carnall along with his wife Michelle have brought all of their experience to bear in creating a sophisticated and charming restaurant in this historic logging town.

A blackboard proclaims the mains of the day while the menu boasts a delicious array of tapas dishes.

The range is vast including an interesting bruschetta with smoked salmon, shaved fennel, preserved lemon and dill crème fresh; rare seared peppered beef with ginger ponzu which melts in the mouth; Jamon croquettes which come with a green pea puree; and the ever popular pork belly done with a chilli caramel.

The tempura zucchini flowers are crisp, stuffed with soft creamy Persian feta cheese and served with basil truss tomatoes and polenta, absolutely delicious.

An extensive list offers wines to complement any of the dishes while the décor with its 27 year old oak barrels and log wall remind diners of Mudgeeraba’s forestry past.

The tapas menu is a good way to sample many of the chef’s offerings and the portions are generous.

This is rural dining at its best offering delicious innovative dishes.
