Picnic Point Toowoomba

I have been there quite a few times; however, the last time was ten years ago. Being here today for lunch with my wife was simply awesome. Attentive and fast service, very friendly staff, no stress or panic; lovely setting; food was great, so was the ice coffee. Yes, nice views, lovely setting... and best of all a 'senior' menu (smaller portion and reduced price). Well worth a visit, considering the surounding park areas, waterfall (currently repaired; hence, no access from Oct to Dec 2023). Next time it won't be ten years to come back. :)

This venue has the best views. The staff are absolutely lovely and helpful. They have a wonderful cake selection and the cakes are fresh and delicious. It’s a great layout with both indoor and outdoor dining options. Great for people of all ages and a nice place to bring visitors.

A great place with a view. We stop by for breakfast. Service was friendly and welcoming and the food and drinks was great.

Excellent food, service and location. A variety of menu options were available, including very gourmet options such as soft shell crab with fennel lime, chili slaw and coconut aioli (see image attached). I was impressed by the serving size; plenty of healthy slaw with coconut aioli to make a filling meal with the crab and lime on top.

A section of the menu was dedicated to options for seniors, with adjusted serving sizes.

The waiting staff approached the table and asked for my order, then returned to clear my table. The staff were friendly and professional. And don't forget the scenery; there were indoor and outdoor tables, the indoor area having plenty of windows with excellent views of the nearby terrain. And of course the location is perfect for a bush-walk before or after a meal, with playgrounds for children also nearby.

This is also a good place to visit if you're looking for a souvenir of your trip to Toowoomba, with art for sale instore.

Fantastic view of the valley, especially if you're seated on the window seats. Staff were particularly friendly and accommodating. ⭐
I didn't particularly enjoy the selection of the foods we went with but I've only been here once. The deep fried mushroom and rocket salad had few greens and a heaps of fried mushrooms which absorb a fair bit of oil if deep-fried before cooked.
The pizza was alright.
I'll definitely go back to try more.

Having the milkshake served in a plastic cup when seated in the restaurant section was a bit off in my opinion.

Whenever I visit Toowoomba i always have to visit Picnic Point. The views alone are spectacular and worth it.
But this time actually went for a walk around the loops the Firetail Walk... the Picnic Point Brindle Walk ... Fantail Walk n the Pardalote Walk.

Great food and really nice staff and atmosphere. I would totally recommend!

Well this place is picnic heaven there are multiple walking tracks , picnic tables , kids playgrounds and killer views everywhere you look from the top to the bottom truly a spectacular place to enjoy family ,friends and life 👌

It’s rare that you find a cafe with such spectacular views having good food to match. The Picnic Point Cafe reached beyond any of my expectations with fantastic good-sized portions at affordable prices.

I visited on July 18, 2022 with two other adults and a toddler. The staff were incredibly accomodating, and being a Monday it wasn’t too busy.

The food is the best I have had on my Qld holiday so far, and I’ve eaten at some pretty fancy places. The seafood laksa was the best my friend had ever had with the perfect balance of textures, and not too heavy. It’s made with real coconut milk, not the cheap stuff.

The pulled duck dish with Asian slaw was one of the tastiest things I’ve ever had. It was all of my favourite foods on one plate. I couldn’t fault it. If you like duck, this is for you.

The third adult had the pork belly, but it was not to our taste. It was rubbery and sliced thinly, rather than the crispy pork belly sheet. However, the salad it came with was exceptional and made up for it.

The drinks and desserts were great, and I have to note that the almond/orange cake was probably the best I’ve had. It was the perfect balance of crunchy caramelised edges with soft cake inside.

Overall this place is a must visit if in town, especially for those with dietary requirements such as dairy allergies.

The food was amazing. We had just climbed table top, the doorman today was arrogant, today, but my previous experiences have been fine. The cake and deserts are nice, coffee was good,

We thoroughly enjoyed a hamburger each at Picnic Point when we were last in Toowoomba. Great, tasty, clean food, fast and professional customer service.
Not to mention the spectacular view.

Superb view of the valley below. We could see the raining far away and the rainbow. Visit in either sunrise or sunset is highly recommend. There are plenty parking and viewing point is easily accessible from parking. A good place to sit down and have a snack, as there are plenty of benches. Easy to Access.

Wonderful park with some great facilities!

Wonderful experience and view! Our experience was slightly marred by the fact that we were waiting for more than an hour for our food due to a technical issue, but the manager came out and offered his sincerest apologies and comped some of our food! Absolute legend! The food is wonderful as well! Definitely would come back again with such wonderful food and service! A++
