Four of us enjoyed the seven course degustation menu, in this small intimate restaurant. Service was everything we wanted and David the manager/sommelier was friendly, knowledgeable and the wines well matched. The degustation menu took 3 hours, however we were warned beforehand and this in no way interfered with our evening. Portion sizes were average compared to other degustation menus... More

It's very hard to find a good quality restaurant open on a Monday night, which is the only night of the week that we get out from running our own restaurant. Always superb service and delicious food.

We ate here on a Monday night so, not very busy and there was just two of us. We arrived before 7pm and by 930pm we were still waiting for our final item in our degustation menu, the cheese platter. It was past our bedtime so we gave up and skipped the cheese. There really wasn't a decent excuse as... More

I went to this restaurant recently with family, with high expectations. I had read the reviews and was exicited to try what they had to offer. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, but that was the high point. We chose the 5 course degustation menu and were very disappointed. The portions were tiny (a number of us had to...

Our waitress was very professional, knew the details of the menu items, the wines and the beers, and made very good suggestions on how to order to suit our group. I was a bit wary of eating "bush food," but it's all in the preparation, which was excellent. It was a very memorable meal and the perfect dinner for our... More

Went there with my brother who lives in Brisbane. After spending three months in Australia, I thought I had a pretty good idea how terrible service can be. I was apparently wrong! Amidst a bustling four tables, our waitress quite simply seemed clueless. It took her 20 min before even coming to our table to take our order, not offering... More

Tukka has delectable dishes to enjoy. I ate emu for the first time. This was beautifully cooked. The side salad had bunya nut throughout. A great taste. Tukka runs regular cooking classes - hopefully in the near future my husband and son will attend. Great decor. You may have to find parking in the back streets. West End has an... More

My husband and I visit every year for our anniversary (we had our first date here) and we never get tired of Tukka's menu. A small restaurant with an intimate atmosphere and most of all fantastic menu and service. We always get the degustation - my favourite is the native platter - a unique spread of berries, dessert limes, cured... More

We went to Tukka to celebrate my 40th birthday. We were impressed by the entrees however the main courses were a big disappointment. One of us had kangaroo which was over cooked and the potato gallete side was undercooked. My partner had duck as a main but unfortunately the fat wasn't rendered and was chewy as a result. There was... More

Very fine food and great selection of wines, presented by a super enthusiastic manager. The place to go if you feel like treating yourself to new flavours. May be worth trying to avoid the rush hour to get some quietness though. Will come back!
