Had an amazing lunch today. Awesome food and service! A hidden gem. Probably the best food on Tambourine Mt and leaves a lot of other restaurants for dead! 30 years ago Helen was my TAFE teacher in a school based hospitality course and she hasn’t lost any of her passion! Thanks for talking me out of being a chef Helen!

Karna Louise recommends PippinTook2.
Helen was delightful ensuring our special dining experience was all it could be. And the food was perfect for a winter’s night - perfectly cooked beef cheeks and mash with crispy vegetables and the most delicately balanced apple tart with ice cream-the pastry so thin and delicious and between each layer the most thinly sliced apples. Thanks for a wonderful night @PippinTook2.

Ben Arnott recommends PippinTook2.Saturday 13th. June 2020One of the best dining experiences I’ve had for a long long time and definitely one of the best restaurants on the Gold Coast.
Just wanted to extend a massive thanks for making my mum’s birthday lunch at the restaurant so memorable and fantastic.
We all loved the food, the restaurant and your very kind & welcoming charisma. I think for mum and dad in particular lunch was such a high point as there was a bit of a trip down memory lane.
Our very best compliments to Ross and his amazing cooking. I have to say those deserts were really hit my sweet tooth and next time I definitely want to try that chocolate mousse.
I’m Mum & Dad will be back with their group friends at some point in time.
Again, I can’t think you enough for making the day so special for us15/03/20Popping Took2 is a fantastic place to wine and dine. Exquisite decor and food. Hosts are terrific and fun29/02/2020We had a very special family lunch planned and PippinTook2 was perfect. The welcome and service was exceptional. The food was perfect (considering that we had two generations of chefs dining, this is not an exaggeration). Good food treated with care and respect cannot be beaten. Every course and selection was a delight. Will be back, even without a special occasion to celebrate.Jo Colman recommends Pippin Took².29/02/20The food and the service are next to none.

We started with Peking duck spring rolls to share followed by Beer battered barramundi with gorgeous fries and my partner had pan roasted chicken with baked polenta and chasseur sauce with a side of steamed veg. Desserts were to die for. Toffee date pudding with caramel sauce and salted caramel ice cream and Callebaut mousse au chocolate.

SeanMagnificent. Tamborine residents are so lucky to have this place on their doorstep. Friendly service, fine dining atmosphere, unbelievably good food, I don’t even know where to start describing it all. I have posted some photos but I am sure the menu will change seasonally and be just as good no matter what is on offer. Stunning presentation and equally stunning flavours, a beautiful experience. Catered for my coeliac partner with a separate and generous menu that felt like it was curated with care and attention to ensure his dining experience wasn’t compromised in any way. He commented that our dinner at Pippin Took 2 has “ruined dining out for us forever” because it was so good that we will be hard pressed to find an equal. I can’t wait to go back. P.S. the prices are a surprise, equal to or cheaper than other, less impressive, places on the mountain.
`Thank you so so much for the most magnificent dinner we’ve ever had. David is normally scared to try new things - he “doesn’t like cauliflower” but you made the soup sound so good he had to try it. He said it was like if you wished for a magic bowl that tasted like all your favourite things. The mains were both amazing, next time I’d get the gluten free version too, that beurre blanc was to die for. We were hoping to get back again before we go home to the Gold Coast but I’m not sure we will, But we aren’t far away and we will be backperfect in every way. We have found a new favourite. beautiful service, excellent food and amazing decor. GF options galore. Can't wait to return.

JKY2231st September 2019Epic food, atmosphere and service. Enjoyed every aspect of this cosy little restaurant.Harvey Young
We did not have a reservation for a Saturday, however Helen found us a table and we had an incredible meal. Appetizers were shared and had incredibly wonderful flavors and textures. Mains were as impressive as any hatted restaurant Australia has. Dessert- well even the caramel ice cream is hand made by Ross. French press coffee to keep you awake from the food coma and the drive back down the mountain. Perfect experience. As Peregrine Took would highly recommend, eat and drink like a carefree Hobbit at this highly acclaimed restaurant.
Darren Kellett recommends PippinTook2.Had a wonderful experience dining at PippinTook2 last night for my birthday. Owners are very friendly and professional and went out of the way to accommodate us with our 3 young girls. The food was cooked to perfection. Highly recommended
