Where Every Meal Is Special

We believe good food does more than fill your stomach—it brings people together to enjoy good times and great company.

For long relaxed lunches and weekend dinners, we’re here to make your time with us easy and happy. Pull up a chair, grab a drink from the bar, relax, and let us handle the rest. We can even do a take away meal for you to enjoy later!

On the Green Restaurant Chef.

Vanessa and Kat relocated to the Darling Downs in 2024 after living in Western Australia for many years. Early 2026 saw them moving to Crows Nest, working in various local businesses and enjoying the wonderful CN community. All the while keeping their eye on their dream - HAVING THEIR OWN RESTAURANT!!!

They both love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen using unexpected combinations, different flavours and subtle textures. They also have a keen interest in producing tasty and unique vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dishes.
