For more than two decades, Barry Iddles has been a stand-out presence in the vibrant hospitality scene of the Mornington Peninsula. Recognised for his culinary prowess and respected as a leader in the hospitality industry, Barry now extends his gratitude to the community that has supported him for so many years.
Barry’s journey began in Rye back in 2004 with the establishment of Bamboo Restaurant, which earned acclaim for its exquisite cuisine and impeccable service. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Barry simultaneously managed Bamboo and the food and beverage operations at the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club for 13 years.
Throughout his illustrious career spanning more than 45 years, Barry has catered to a constellation of stars, from Michael Jackson and Harry Connick Jr to Carlos Santana and Ben Harper. His culinary adventures have taken him across continents, from touring Australia with the legendary Peter Allen to creating Kylie Minogue’s 30th birthday cake.
Seven-and-a-half years ago, Barry embarked on a journey across the bay, breathing new life into a dormant establishment in Queenscliff now known as 360Q. Perched overlooking Queenscliff’s marina and beyond, 360Q has become synonymous with exceptional dining experiences on the Bellarine.
“With my incredible team, we’ve transformed 360Q into one of the finest dining experiences on the Bellarine,” Barry said. “I can’t wait for the people of the Peninsula to come across and experience it for themselves.”
Despite the daily commute from Rye to Queenscliff, Barry’s commitment to excellence remains steadfast. Now, as a token of appreciation for the unwavering support from Mornington Peninsula residents, he’s introducing a special winter promotion. From June 1-30, locals can savour the delights of 360Q, accompanied by a complimentary glass of incredible Baie wine from a small-batch family-run winery on the Bellarine.
“I love giving back to the communities that have given me so much over the years, and this is just a small token of appreciation,” Barry said. “All Mornington Peninsula residents have to do is clip the Baie Wines token from our advertisement in this edition and present it to staff when they next dine at 360Q. In return, they’ll receive a complimentary glass of delicious Baie wine, which really is a taste of perfection, and it pairs exquisitely with our incredible menu.”
With its panoramic waterfront vistas and tantalising menu selections, 360Q promises an unforgettable dining experience, making it the perfect place to spend a day across the bay.
