A Culinary Escape at Montes Bar and Grill 

A trip to Montes Bar and Grill in Cape Gloucester is always a fantastic choice, and this visit was no exception! Zana and I had the pleasure of hosting visiting journalists for lunch, and we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional food and top-notch customer service. 

We opted for a banquet-style menu to sample a variety of dishes, and we were left completely satisfied. Highlights included Peruvian grilled chicken with green chimmi and sticky achiote, market fish with fresh salsa verde, and a succulent 300g Emerald Valley sirloin steak. 

Montes is passionate about using fresh, local produce, and their culinary expertise runs deep— with manager Dan passing down all his expert secrets to his son, Sam. A young man destined to reach incredible heights in his culinary career! The menu features a delightful blend of South American, Spanish, and Italian influences within a modern Australian framework, with seafood and steaks as signature offerings. 

There's something magical about the colours of the ocean that perfectly enhances the dining experience. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Northern Cumberland Islands in the Whitsundays, Montes Bar and Grill is the perfect spot to relax and indulge!
