The Summit

Perched atop Mount Coot-tha with Brisbane unfurling below, The Summit pairs sweeping skyline views with a refined yet vibrant dining room. Contemporary Australian cooking meets warm, intuitive hospitality, making it a natural choice for weddings, celebrations and those moments that demand a setting with a sense of occasion.

In the kitchen, modern Australian flavours lean into coastal freshness and bright, pan-Asian accents. Think Moreton Bay prawns glossed with champagne sabayon, yuzu and native mint, or pork belly and spanner crab lifted by a Thai herb salad and chilli caramel. There is delicacy in an Atlantic salmon gravlax with radish, smoked caviar, crème fraîche and basil oil, and depth in mains that balance richness with zest — from slow-cooked beef short rib sparked by palm sugar chilli caramel and nam jim jaew to roast duck with burnt onion, sweet potato, cherries, asparagus, honey pollen and jus gras.

The overtures charm with warm house-baked sourdough and cultured truffle butter, while sides of hand-picked green beans with preserved lemon and nduja dressing invite sharing. To finish, a white chocolate mousse brightened by blackberries, rosella and macadamia praline lands on a sweet, distinctly Queensland note. Book a table, drink in the panorama, and make a night of it — a little high-altitude hedonism never goes amiss.
