A Culinary Sanctuary Amidst the Gardens
Farm-to-table cooking in our on-site restaurant, curated by our chefs and inspired by the seasons.
The Farm-to-Table Philosophy
The kitchen of our farm-to-table restaurant is rooted in the belief that exceptional cuisine begins in the garden. Every plate is a quiet conversation between the resort's own herb beds, the surrounding Brisbane Valley farms, and the hands of our chefs. We favour restraint over spectacle, allowing ripe heirloom tomatoes, young greens, and fragrant herbs to speak with clarity. The result is a menu that feels both grounded and quietly luxurious, changing as naturally as the seasons outside the dining room windows.
We partner with local farmers and artisans to source the finest seasonal produce, meats, and dairy. From small-batch cheeses matured in the Scenic Rim to free-range poultry raised on open pasture, each ingredient is chosen for integrity and flavour. Our chefs visit the growers weekly, selecting what is at its peak rather than forcing a fixed menu. This close relationship means the kitchen can respond to a sudden flush of figs or the first autumn mushrooms with dishes that capture the moment.
Our menus change with the seasons, reflecting the natural rhythm of the garden. Spring brings delicate herbs, asparagus, and soft cheeses; summer celebrates stone fruit, heirloom tomatoes, and line-caught reef fish; autumn introduces roasted roots, wild mushrooms, and slow-braised meats; winter offers citrus, brassicas, and comforting, deeply savoury preparations. Each visit to Dealerwillowcasino offers a new expression of the same botanical philosophy.
The Garden Restaurant
The Garden Restaurant is our sit-down restaurant on the grounds, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the resort's lush gardens. Soft linen, warm timber, and candlelight create an atmosphere of understated opulence, while the open kitchen adds a gentle sense of theatre. Whether you are celebrating a milestone or simply savouring an evening away, the dining room of the restaurant feels intimate without being formal, and every table enjoys a view of the greenery beyond the glass.
"We cook the garden first, then build the plate around it. The seasons are our menu." — Head Chef, Dealerwillowcasino
For a truly immersive experience, indulge in our seven-course chef's tasting menu, paired with wines from our cellar. Each course is introduced at the table, revealing the stories behind the ingredients and the producers who grew them.
Reserve Your TableThe Veranda Café
The Veranda Café offers a relaxed setting for breakfast and lunch, with outdoor seating on the garden terrace. Morning light filters through the climbing jasmine, and the sound of birdsong replaces the hum of the city. It is the kind of place where a coffee can stretch into a long, unhurried conversation.
Enjoy freshly baked pastries, artisanal coffee, and light dishes made from garden produce. The menu is intentionally simple, allowing the quality of the ingredients to carry each plate.
- Avocado toast with poached eggs and garden herbs
- Garden salad with citrus vinaigrette and toasted seeds
- House-made granola with seasonal fruit and honey
- Butter croissants and preserves from the resort kitchen
The Casino Salon: After-Dinner Elegance
Adjacent to the Garden Restaurant, our intimate casino salon offers a refined space for after-dinner conversation and classic table games with live dealers. Walk from the restaurant into a lounge rather than a gaming floor, with deep armchairs, low lighting, and a quiet hum of conviviality. It is a place to linger over a digestif, enjoy the company of fellow guests, and let the evening unfold at its own pace.
To maintain the salon's sophisticated atmosphere, we kindly request smart casual attire. This is not a dress code of exclusion, but one of respect for the shared experience. A collared shirt, tailored trousers, or an elegant dress will feel entirely at home. The salon is reserved for resort guests and dining patrons, ensuring an intimate and unhurried environment.
Private Dining & Events
Private rooms in the restaurant offer an intimate setting for celebrations, corporate dinners, and special occasions. Each room is tucked away from the main dining floor, with its own garden view and dedicated service team. Menus are developed in conversation with the chef, allowing you to shape an experience that reflects the occasion and the season.
Our events team will assist with menu selection, wine pairings, and floral arrangements to create a memorable experience. The resort's botanical setting provides a natural backdrop for photographs and quiet moments between courses. Whether you are planning a milestone birthday, an engagement dinner, or a boardroom lunch, the details are handled with care.
Private rooms can accommodate parties of 8 to 30 guests. Please contact us for availability and to begin planning your event.

Wine & Beverage Program
Our cellar features an extensive selection of Australian and international wines, with a focus on boutique producers. The list is curated to complement the kitchen's seasonal approach, favouring growers who work with minimal intervention and a clear sense of place. From crisp Adelaide Hills whites to structured Margaret River reds, each bottle is chosen to elevate the food rather than compete with it.
Our sommelier is available to guide you through pairings for each course. For the chef's tasting menu, a matched wine flight is offered, drawing on both classic regions and emerging Australian labels. The sommelier's recommendations are always optional, and the team is equally happy to suggest a single bottle to carry the evening.
The casino salon also features a cocktail bar with classic and signature drinks, using garden herbs and botanicals. Expect refined takes on familiar favourites: a rosemary-infused gin and tonic, a smoked citrus old fashioned, and a zero-proof garden spritz for those who prefer a lighter finish. The bar is open to salon guests throughout the evening.
