Dining

From the pristine waters of the Coral Sea and the verdant Atherton Tablelands, to the abundant micro-producers and growers scattered across Northern Queensland, this region is blessed with some of Australia’s best produce.

Dining at Mt Mulligan Lodge instantly evokes a strong sense of the outback, with the menu showcasing an abundance of foraged, locally sourced, caught and freshly grown seasonal produce. The ‘from scratch’ ethos is evident in the homemade pickles, jams, chutneys and krauts, all of which complement sophisticated dishes that put a modern twist on outback living.

Menus are tailored to individual tastes, and like a true outback-pastoral cattle station, the cuisine is hearty, nourishing and plentiful, but the beautifully presented dishes are also refined and indulgent. The main lodge is a welcoming and cosy setting for meals, but guests wanting to dine al fresco, can do so with a gourmet picnic hamper in the bush, by dining under a canopy of twinkling stars over an intimate seven course degustation dinner, or on the wide deck overlooking the weir.

An excellent range of iconic and boutique wines from some of Australia’s best wine regions has been hand selected to comprise the beverage menu, which ensures harmony between cuisine, climate and environment.
