Tara Far East Dining & Bar in Queensland

"Google review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tara Far East Dining & Bar I had the most wonderful lunch on Saturday with my beautiful friend Wendy at Tara Far East Dining & Bar -such a special spot for much-needed girl time! Address: 40 Masthead Way, Hope Island QLD 4212, Australia From the moment we walked in, the setting was stylish yet relaxed, with gorgeous waterside views and an atmosphere perfect for a leisurely lunch. The team here truly makes you feel welcome - and we loved every minute of our experience. Our waitress Jade delivered exceptional service - polite, welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble. Her warm attention really completed our afternoon and made us feel truly looked after. Food & Drinks Highlights We enjoyed a delicious bottle of Pinot Gris and shared a few standout dishes: • Tuna Tartare - fresh and beautifully balanced • Hiramasa Kingfish Sashimi - delicate and delicious • Salt & Pepper Calamari with Truffle Mayo - crispy and flavour-packed • Wok-tossed Greens with Shiitake Mushrooms - vibrant, with crispy garlic & sesame oil Everything was sensational - fresh, vibrant, and perfectly suited to a long lunch catch-up with friends. Why I Loved It Tara is a perfect lunch destination - whether you’re catching up with a friend, celebrating something special, or just indulging in great food and service. After lunch we even did a bit of retail therapy nearby and enjoyed a stroll down to the seafood trawlers where we met Dave the fisherman - happy days indeed! Highly recommend this gem if you find yourself around Sanctuary Cove - I can’t wait to go back! #ChefJanCranitch #FoodWithStyle #SanctuaryCove #GirlsLunch #SupportLocal #GoodFoodGoodCompany #GoldCoastEats"

"Thai chef and be prepared to experience more! Amazing flavour. Crab wrap is a must have. Service was genuine and friendly. I will definitely go back!"

"Went to Tara for our anniversary, and it was fantastic!! The food was amazing, perfectly balanced and unique flavours and every dish was delicious! The staff and service were great and we were served promptly. Highly recommended, we will be back for sure!"

"5 Star Mouth Party! My best friend and I went here for some food therapy and a catch up, we were so impressed and we are usually pretty fussy about what we put in our mouth. The kingfish sashimi was some of the best that we have had. The betel leaf scallops and tuna tartare were absolute flavour explosions, couldn't ask for tastier morsels. We paired it with a whiskey sour cocktail and a New Zealand Sav - honestly could not have asked for a better lunch. The staff are so delicately respectful and conduct themselves beautifully. We will absolutely make this a regular spot. So much love for this beautiful restaurant."

"This restaurant is absolutely perfect and seamlessly blends into every dish. I highly recommend the lamb cutlet, the taste is surprisingly delicious. The location is great and the staff is friendly."

"Excellent food. We had both oysters, sashimi, crispy pork belly (crispest we have EVER had) and toothfish yellow curry with rice. All amazing."

"Everything about this venue is A+!!! The staff are incredible, the food is mouth-watering, and the atmosphere is lovely! Hands down the top restaurant in sanctuary cove. I suggest everyone try’s the kingfish sashimi, tempura oysters and nasi goreng fried rice. Oh, and a lychee martini"

"We recently celebrated our friend’s birthday at Tara Far East Dining and Bar, and we honestly had such a lovely time. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, but still felt special enough for a birthday celebration. The food was really good – fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals and kept saying how tasty everything was. The portions were great too. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. They helped us with the cake and made the whole night run smoothly, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience and a perfect place for a birthday dinner. We would definitely come back again"
