Black Angus Bar & Grill, Sanctuary Cove 0

46E The Promenade, Sanctuary Cove, Queensland 4212

There are few better views than this, and not that many better steaks… Black Angus Bar and Grill, situated on the marina overlooking luxury yachts at Sanctuary Cove, has an outstanding view and an award-listed reputation for fine meat. It’s a beautiful autumn morning, the sun glistening on the water, a day when it seems [...]

Bali 0

Bali is one of the world’s most desirable island travel destinations; a land of contrasts, where fire dancing is performed by some of the most placid friendly people on the planet; a place where poverty and amazing luxury sit side by side; a cultural crucible exemplified by its food – where foodies can experience dishes [...]

Dumpling Republic, Robina 2

Shop 1009, Robina Town Centre, Robina, Queensland 4230

Xiao Long Bao, commonly referred to as Shanghai ‘soup dumplings’,are my culinary ‘Ode to Joy’. Even the mention of the name brings a shiver to my spine. I experienced my first dumpling epiphany in Kuala Lumpur at Din Tai Fung, love at first bite, then in Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney and Brisbane. It’s an adventurous [...]

Dune Cafe, Palm Beach 0

945 Gold Coast Highway, Palm Beach, Queensland 4221

The Dune Café is a bit of a secret. Located in one of the most beautiful spots on the Coast, it’s well frequented by southern Gold Coasters, but apart from that, many other people don’t know of its existence. Bit of a shame, really, because a trip to Palm Beach Parklands’ Dune Café reminds you [...]

A.I.M Foods, Hope Island 0

Marina Quay Shopping Village, 2 Sickle Avenue, Hope Island, Queensland 4212

Kia Ora! Welcome! A.I.M Foods specialise in New Zealand, especially Maori foods. It’s hangi time on Thursday and Friday nights; ‘Kai Time’, it’s called, when you can get Creamed Paua (that’s a shellfish, for the uninitiated), Paua or mussel fritters, Punnets of Kina, Kumara chips, Steamed pudding, Kiwifruit doughnuts, Fry bread and more… And did [...]

Canteen Kitchen, Burleigh Heads 0

23 Park Avenue, Burleigh Heads, Queensland 4220

“Food doesn’t travel well but ideas travel very well indeed.” Magnus Nilsson quoted by Gourmet Traveller @GourmetTweets 8 March 2013 It’s not coincidental that some of our strongest feelings are tied up with food. A communal extended family meal, travel in far-flung exotic lands and even tender memories of love are infused with the flavours [...]

Kiva Han Roasting House, Mermaid Beach 0

1/2557 Gold Coast Highway, Mermaid Beach, Queensland 4218

UPDATE April 2013: Given our successful dining experiences at Kiva Han, it seemed like a great idea to try their new dinner menu. Unlike breakfast and lunch, dinner’s a Meze menu consisting of small share plates priced between $10 and $15, less for dips and olives. On the waitress’ advice, we order a couple of [...]

Golosi Food Emporium, Burleigh Heads 0

3/45 James Street, Burleigh Heads, Queensland 4220

Golosi Food Emporium proves that you don’t have to be big to be great. This new food emporium showcases fine produce and deli items from Australia and overseas in a beautiful setting. From the moment we set food in the door, we’re in foodie heaven. Everywhere we look there are bursts of colour and deliciously [...]

Miami Marketta Street Food Market 0

23 Hillcrest Parade, Miami, Queensland 4220

The Marketta Street Food launch was a smash hit! Sure, street food is trendy, but judging by the turnout and crowd enthusiasm, you could have mistaken it for an annual foodie event in a very hungry town. Situated in the laneway running through the arts precinct of Rabbit + Cocoon, the event is part market, [...]

Providore Marina Mirage, Main Beach 0

Shop 37, Marina Mirage Shopping Centre, Sea World Drive, Main Beach, Queensland 4217

Providore is a brilliant idea of Luke Turner’s. For the former owner of Spendlove in Ferry Road Market, the idea of a grocer / café / deli in the upmarket Marina Mirage precinct must have seemed like a perfect opportunity. It could provide casual meals by day, evening drinks and cocktails by night, purveying and [...]

My Giddy Aunt Café, Palm Beach 0

Shop 7, Fifth Avenue, Palm Beach, Queensland 4221

There’s a real retro thing going on at My Giddy Aunt. Walking in, dressed in my typical black, I feel that I should be wearing a floral pinch-waist full skirt dress from the 60s… There’s such a nostalgic blush about it, petals, that’s homely, cute and inviting. I sit in the window seat alone and [...]

Genki Café, Palm Beach 2

1114 Gold Coast Highway, Cnr 5th Ave., Palm Beach, Queensland 4221

UPDATE April 2013: Genki is now also open Friday nights for dinner, BYO. Lunch meals are still $15 and under, even the seafood dishes, so it’s great value dining! There’s often live music and a really chilled out vibe. Genki just keeps on getting better! Try the High Tea, Genki style for $35 per person, [...]

Commune, Burleigh Heads 0

1844 Gold Coast Highway, Burleigh Heads, Queensland 4220

UPDATE April 2013: Commune has achieved cult status on GFGC, with a huge band of loyal followers won over by its rustic organic food and generous servings. It’s also highly affordable, with the most expensive dish priced at $15. Whether you want blueberry pancakes, Mushrooms and asparagus piled on toast with Persian fetta, the trad. [...]

Na Brasa Brazilian Barbecue, Broadbeach 0

Shop 5, 90 - 110 Surf Parade, Broadbeach, Queensland 4218

Na Brasa is easy to miss. Centrally located in the middle of the ‘eat street’ Surf Parade, Na Brasa doesn’t look very different to many of the other cafés on the strip – a narrow dining space lined with surf photos and mirrored panels, generic looking faux wicker furniture and moulded tables overflowing out onto [...]

Bavarian Bier Café, Broadbeach 0

2 Oracle Boulevard, Broadbeach, Queensland 4218

UPDATE April 2013: If you’re short on time, watch out for the $7.50 Sunday Sausage Sizzle happening out the front of the Bavarian Bier Café. There’s nothing like a real German sausage! With bright blue chairs shining like a mirage in the midday sun, the Bavarian Bier Café stands out from the shadowy urban desert [...]
