Signature Dining at Meridian Kitchen
Modern Australian fine dining built on Queensland produce — degustation or à la carte, Thursday to Sunday, bookings essential.
Hotel guests get priority tables; outside diners are welcome all service nights. The chef's counter seats six and sells out first.
Meridian Kitchen — what to expect
Head chef Daniel Ash runs a tight menu: twelve à la carte dishes and a five-course degustation at $145. The kitchen leans on Queensland producers — Mooloolaba prawns, Scenic Rim beef, hinterland greens delivered three mornings a week.
The room seats 60, split between the main floor, a wine-wall alcove for groups of eight, and the six-seat chef's counter facing the pass. Service is polished but unpretentious — staff actually know the menu.
Best rate, flexible cancellation.
