About Little Truffle

Mermaid Beach hides an unpretentious culinary powerhouse built for lingering dates and unhurried milestones. Low lighting, velvet textures, and live piano notes set a relaxed, romantic hum across the dining room. Diners make a beeline for the Moreton Bay bug and prawn tortellini—sweet shellfish encased in handmade pasta and balanced by a sharp, creamy reduction. Multi-course menus arrive with surprisingly hearty servings, and the floor team will readily box up remaining courses if you overcommit. Between complimentary celebration treats, savory beef tartare, and delicate zucchini flowers, courses unfold at an easy clip, winding down over considered mocktails and well-extracted coffee.

  • Standout Tortellini: Sweet crustacean filling encased in tender pasta and balanced with a rich, tangy sauce.
  • Generous Portions: Multi-course dining with generous portions and accommodating takeaway packing for unfinished plates.
  • Intimate Dinner Ambience: Dim lighting and live piano performances that foster relaxed, easy conversation.
  • Milestone Celebrations: Thoughtful touches like complimentary desserts and antipasto platters for anniversaries and birthdays.
