The Tropic restaurant does not allow any outlandish decorations or games. The Tropic does not allow any balloons or confetti as we aim to protect Burleigh Pavilion’s surrounding environment from waste. Please be in touch in advance if you have any out of the ordinary requests, including gift bags and party favours, as these must be approved prior to the booking.

You are welcome to bring a cake if you like. Our cakeage fee is $5pp (maximum of $50 per booking).

No professional photography is permitted during trading hours. This is to be arranged with the Event Manager for a time outside of our trading hours.

Think smart casual, with a little room for the coast.

We want everyone to feel comfortable while keeping The Tropic feeling like The Tropic. Singlets, thongs, ripped or dirty clothing, hard-capped shoes, sports or club wear, fancy dress, pub crawls and bucks or hens attire aren’t permitted.

Guests with tattoos are welcome. Management may refuse entry where tattoos are considered offensive or inappropriate.

A minimum spend of $80 per person applies on all bookings from 4pm on Saturdays. The total amount (number of guests x spend) is applied for the table as a whole, including food and beverages ordered on the day.

If you fail to meet the minimum spend on the day, the remainder will be added to your bill.

A 1% surcharge applies to all card payments. A 10% wage loading surcharge applies to all Sunday bookings and 15% on public holidays.

Split bills are to be kept to a maximum of two payments.

Our venue does not allow any bookings for 18th – 21st birthdays. A small family occasion may be considered, with approval at management’s discretion.

In order to offer reservations to as many guests as possible we have implemented the below dine times. All bookings are required to adhere to these.

• 1 – 7 people: 2 hours
• 8 – 14 people: 2.5 hours
• 15 – 45 people: 3 hours

It is the guest’s responsibility to be on time for their reservation. We cannot extend a booking if you are running late due to accommodating two sittings per service.

We never guarantee tables on the terrace, be sure to include it in your booking notes to better your chances. Any special requests made will be catered for by the venue as best as possible.

For special events or dates, such as Brunch, please refer to the event details.

As a courtesy you agree to contact the restaurant if you have any changes, updates or need to cancel your booking.

All bookings with 9 guests (all ages) or more are required to dine on a set menu. Any children between 3 – 12 have a children’s package that must be selected; children under 3 will not be required to dine on the package. Only bookings of 15 guests or more are required to prepay.

Friday to Sunday, all guests within The Tropic restaurant are required to order the equivalent of one main dish per person. We do not consider bookings for ‘drinks’ only in our main dining area.
