Our Story: A Mediterranean Table in Brisbane

Wonderstar s. r. o. was born from a love of Mediterranean gatherings—long tables, shared plates, and the warmth of olive groves. Inspired by travels through Greece, Italy, and Spain, our founders wanted to bring that relaxed hospitality to Brisbane's dining culture.

We believe dining is about connection. Our kitchen focuses on simple, honest ingredients treated with respect, and our dining room is designed to feel like a sunlit courtyard. Stone walls, timber beams, and olive branches create a space that is both rustic and refined.

Cooking Philosophy: Fresh, Seasonal, Mediterranean

Fresh Ingredients

We source the best local produce, seafood, and olive oils, letting the natural flavours shine. Our partnerships with Brisbane farmers and suppliers ensure every plate starts with quality.

Mediterranean Techniques

Our chefs use traditional methods—grilling over open flames, slow-roasting, and preserving—to create depth of flavour. The wood-fired grill and house-made preserves are central to our kitchen.

Seasonal Menus

The menu changes with the seasons, ensuring every dish reflects the best of what's available. Summer tomatoes, winter citrus, and the chef's selection all follow the rhythm of the year.

Starters & Mezze: A Shared Beginning

Our starters are designed for sharing—vibrant, flavourful, and perfect for starting a leisurely meal. Expect dips, grilled vegetables, seafood, and pastries.

Smoky Baba Ghanoush

Charred eggplant blended with tahini, garlic, and lemon, served with warm flatbread.

Crispy Calamari

Lightly fried squid with a squeeze of lemon and a dusting of oregano salt.

Charred Octopus

Tender octopus with lemon, olive oil, and fresh herbs, finished on the grill.

Spanakopita

Flaky pastry filled with spinach, feta, and dill, baked until golden.

Grilled Halloumi

Seared halloumi with honey, thyme, and a scattering of toasted almonds.

From the Grill & Sea: Mains

Our wood-fired grill imparts a smoky depth to premium cuts of meat and fresh seafood. Lamb, chicken, and fish are cooked over open flames, developing a char that is both rustic and refined.

From the Queensland coast to your plate, our seafood is sustainably sourced and simply prepared. Prawns, octopus, and whole fish are dressed with lemon, olive oil, and herbs, allowing the ocean's flavour to shine.

Seasonal Vegetables & Signature Plates

Seasonal Vegetables

Vegetables are not an afterthought—they are stars of the menu, roasted, grilled, and dressed with herbs and olive oil. Charred broccoli with tahini, heirloom tomato salad, and slow-roasted carrots with dukkah are just a few examples.

Signature Plates

Our signature plates are the dishes our regulars return for—slow-cooked lamb shoulder, whole roasted fish, and more. Each is prepared with the same care and attention as our seasonal specials.

Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder

Fork-tender lamb with rosemary, garlic, and a rich pan jus.

Whole Roasted Fish

Market fish roasted with lemon, capers, and fresh herbs.

Wood-Fired Chicken

Half chicken marinated in yoghurt and spices, grilled until juicy.

Desserts, Wine & Cocktails

Desserts

End your meal with a taste of the Mediterranean—honey-soaked pastries, citrus tarts, and rich chocolate. Baklava, lemon tart, and chocolate mousse are favourites.

Wine

Our wine list features Mediterranean varietals and Australian favourites, chosen to complement our food. Greek, Italian, and Spanish wines sit alongside local options.

Cocktails

Our cocktails are inspired by Mediterranean flavours—think citrus, herbs, and a touch of spice. Try a basil gin fizz or a blood orange spritz.
