TASTE OF GOLD COAST

Yamagen

Emulating the bustling backstreets of Tokyo City, cutting-edge izakaya Yamagen (located at QT Gold Coast) is a go-to for top-notch Japanese eats. Go on a culinary journey and experience an omakase feast curated by chef Adam Lane (from fine sashimi and delicate sushi arrangements to mouth-watering meats from the robata grill) while working your way through a quality collection of Japanese whisky, cocktails and sakes. Got another day? Be sure to check out QT’s Stingray bar and global buffet offering Bazaar.

Shiraz

Those with a serious case of culinary wanderlust can satisfy their craving for far-flung feasts, bold flavours and exotic libations at Shiraz Persian Restaurant in Surfers Paradise. Located at the base of Mantra Wings Surfers Paradise (the former Pink Poodle building), Shiraz is the real deal. Authentic and utterly delicious, the Feed Me banquet menus start at $59 and are seriously good value. Hot tip, you can add a two-hour beverage package for $45. Shiraz Persian Restaurant is certified Halal and there’s a large variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes on the menu.

Bobs Beer

Heads up, froth fiends! If you’re yet to pull up a pew at BOBs Beer, you’re missing out! A seriously hot contender for Friday-arvo drinks, post-surf feeds and boozy catch-ups of all kinds – BOBs Beer is an acronym for Best Of Beers, which should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from this striking watering hole.

White Rhino

When it comes to sip spots, it’s hard to go past White Rhino. The impressive venue is complete with lush greenery, ceiling-high indoor trees, a running waterfall and life-like white rhinos, all for your viewing pleasure. The breakfast and lunch menu offers a unique take on classics (everything from smoothie bowls to breakfast pizzas), with bar snacks, pizzas, pastas, salads and steaks rolling out for lunch and dinner. Expect a lot of theatrics from behind the bar, with smoke-infused concoctions joining classic cocktails, tap beers, wines and spirits to keep you hydrated well after the sun sets.
