Paddymelons 

Restaurant - Alfresco Café - Romantic Accommodation

Paddymelons is an experience for all your senses, not a place to grab "whatever" and rush to your next destination.

 Forget fast food. 

It is a place to be savoured and enjoyed. A place to sit, relax, breath deeply and shrug off the worries of the world.  Within a short time you will feel yourself slowing down, a pleasant lethargy will invade your body and it will feel good to be alive.

Paddymelons boasts an extensive lunch menu and an even more exciting dinner menu.  We believe that food should taste good and be well presented but not a “work of art”. Food is to be enjoyed for its taste colour and flavour and there should always be an elegant sufficiency.

The alfresco café offers the pleasure of sitting beneath the open sky enjoying the sunshine or shade, listening to the birds and taking in the grounds the gardens. The resident peacock may wander over and say hello or if the chooks have escaped it could be a chicken (we serve fresh eggs for our all day breakfast).

If it’s been raining (Springbrook is a high rainfall area) or the temperature has dropped then the restaurant boasts some comfortable armchairs and of course a traditional fireplace.

Indulge yourself in some tea and home baked scones with fresh cream and jam or something a little more substantial. There is always a variety of home made soups which are served with home made damper.

Perhaps a cappuccino or a short black is more your style before switching to a pinot noir or a Johnny Walker on the rocks.

It’s very easy to settle in, but if you are having alcohol and not staying with us, remember you will have to drive home not wobble home, so take care as it is very easy to settle in.

Paddymelons is the perfect venue for a romantic dinner for two or just lunch with friends.

For those extra special occasions talk to George or Melissa, your hosts for suggestions and inspiration.

Remember if it’s not on the menu it doesn’t mean that it’s not available, particularly with some prior notice.

We do cater for functions, small groups and conferences - an ideal spot for your special event.

Our detached cottage will accommodate approximately 40 persons and the main restaurant can cater for up to 60 people.

Of course if you really, really enjoy a wine, port or liqueur then………. you  will probably not be in too inclined to sample the walks, trails, waterfalls, birdlife and rare plants but may enjoy the peace and quiet.

We would like to leave you with the following quote from the Dali Lama:

“Approach both love and cooking with reckless abandon”
