The Long Apron Sunshine Coast

The Long Apron sits on Balmoral Road, a ten-minute walk from the centre of Montville Village. It holds two hats from the Australian Good Food Guide, a distinction that sets the tone for a room that runs smart and elegant.

The kitchen focuses on modern, creative cooking, but the real draw is the proximity to the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. Many venues along the range lean into the tourist traffic of the village; this one ignores the pedestrian bustle to focus on a more deliberate, quiet pace. It is a better choice than the neighboring cafes for those who want their dinner to feel like an escape from the road rather than an extension of it.
