The Long Apron

The Long Apron brings classic French bistro dining to Spicers Clovelly Estate at 68 Balmoral Road, Montville. Set within the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, the restaurant draws on the comfort, warmth and familiarity associated with traditional French dining while presenting the style in a more polished estate setting.

The food is shaped by the flavours and character of the French countryside, with an additional connection to the café-lined boulevards of Paris. The approach is hearty rather than formal in spirit, making the restaurant suitable for diners who enjoy recognisable French bistro traditions, considered presentation and a meal that can be enjoyed at an unhurried pace.

The Long Apron forms part of an estate surrounded by gardens and rolling grass hills. That setting gives the restaurant a calm hinterland character, with dining that feels connected to the broader retreat environment rather than separated from it. The atmosphere is suited to relaxed meals shared over time, whether the occasion is a leisurely lunch, an evening dinner or a small celebration.

Dining is available for lunch and dinner, with the restaurant also supporting group occasions. The Long Apron Terrace provides an outdoor setting for smaller gatherings, while the Library Deck is available for larger events. These spaces allow the restaurant to work across different styles of booking, from a meal among a small party to a more organised private function.

The restaurant suits guests looking for French-inspired dining in a peaceful Montville setting, particularly those who value the combination of classic culinary traditions, estate gardens and a measured dining pace. The surroundings add a sense of occasion without changing the bistro character at the centre of the experience. The Long Apron is located at Spicers Clovelly Estate, making it a natural dining choice for visitors staying at the estate as well as for diners visiting Montville and the surrounding hinterland.
