Castle Glen

Wines, liqueurs and ciders sold inside a castle what more could you ask for. Unfortunately the castle was only built a few yeas ago so no long lasting history behind it however its a great concept. A great selection to choose from with ample variety of of all brands.

We always went head over heels for the triple cream brie make sure you try its so so creamy and delicious.

Witches chase cheese also does up cheese platter to either takeaway or to have with a drink from the brewery. We often pick some up for our Airbnb stays on the mountain.

Fortitude brewery situated right next to the cheese factory is a working factory with bar for you to try there beers. You can buy drinks individually or the famous paddle where you choose 4 beers in tester size.

Places to Eat, Eagle Heights and Surrounding

Mount Tamborine is full of different cuisines to chose from.

We have ate many times at the brewery (they do the best pizzas) but we also have indulged in a few others.

Firstly we love Clancys, a traditional Irish restaurant in North Tamborine. We would go up in winter and have the beef stews and potato skins which are always delicious. And for the wife very homely and bringing back the roots.

Secondly would be Spice of life café a tasty and busy café in the heart of North Tamborine. Serving wholesome home cooked food nothing to fancy but tasty food.

A couple of highly regarded restaurants would be Three Little Pigs, Pethers Rainforest Retreat, George’s Paragon seafood and Hickory . We haven’t had the priveldge to try but would love to.
