Saint Marthe

The short version. Saint Marthe is a French-inspired brasserie on Main Street in the heart of Tamborine Mountain township, and dogs are welcome in its outdoor seating. It is the more polished, wine-and-small-plates end of the mountain's dining, but the veranda tables mean you do not have to leave the dog at home.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the outdoor tables on the veranda and patio, not indoors. It is a compact, central setting rather than a sprawling courtyard, so a smaller or settled dog suits it best on a busy service. Staff are accommodating, but bring your own water bowl.

Known for. French-inspired small plates and classic brasserie dishes in a cosy, gather-with-friends setting. It comes from the team behind El Burro Cantina, another popular spot on the mountain, and it leans towards a wine-focused evening as much as a daytime bite.

Getting there. 13 Main Street, central and walkable from the rest of the township. Street parking is available along Main Street and the nearby side streets, though it tightens on weekends.

Nearby with the dog. The Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens are a short drive for a leashed walk, and the fenced Leash-Free Dog Area on Central Avenue is close by for an off-leash run. The Tamborine National Park sections do not allow dogs, so keep walks to the gardens, council parks and streets.

Book ahead for dinner and ask for an outdoor table when you do, since the veranda seating is where dogs are welcome.
