Bring your appetite for adventure – Suzy is bringing a little taste of Seoul to Burleigh Heads

30 Apr 2022

Korean barbecue is a unique culinary experience. For those who have not yet had the pleasure, it looks a little something like this – your nearest and dearest seated around a sizzling barbecue, laughing loudly, jovially arguing over who should hold the tongs. The beauty of the experience is that instead of just sitting back and waiting for your food to come to you, it's interactive and communal. Everyone shares the responsibility of creating and enjoying the meal. Up until now, the Gold Coast's Korean barbecue joints have been fairly traditional in terms of their offering. Enter Suzy. Suzy is Korean barbecue, but not as you know it ... more

Feast on yakitori and seriously stacked sandos at Southport’s brand-new Koko Cafe & Bar

04 Apr 2022

A lot of deliciousness has come out of Japan – ramen, gyoza, sushi, whisky … the list goes on. One of our all-time favourites, however, is the not-so-humble sando. To be clear, we're not talking about a sad-looking schnitty sandwiched between two thin slices of bread, no siree. Japanese sandos are a work of edible art, from the sizable slab of crustless shokupan (Japanese milk bread) through to its deliciously crisp katsu-crumbed filling. If your mouth is watering right about now (same), you'll be pleased to learn there's a brand-new sando bar in town – it's called Koko Cafe & Bar and here's everything you need to know ... more

24 Mar 2022

Embarking on roadtrips in search of culinary adventure is one of our all-time favourite weekend activities.

Ming Ming’s brings vibrant northern Vietnamese fare to Surfers Paradise

17 Mar 2022

If you're the kind of person that goes out of your way to uncover your suburb's hidden gems and believe that sometimes, the best – and most authentic – feed isn't always on the main thoroughfare but in alleyways and unassuming spaces, you need to know about Ming Ming's Express in Surfers Paradise. Nestled in plain sight on Orchid Avenue (across from Cali Beach), the neighbourhood noshery may not boast the flashiest fit-out in town, but the stream of happy faces in and out is your first indication that there's more to this venue than meets the eye. Read on for all of the mouth-watering details ... more

Award-winning chef Michael Lambie opens Rubi Red Kitchen & Bar in Nobby Beach

10 Mar 2022

When it comes to award-winning venues, Michael Lambie has had his fair share. The lauded chef's illustrious career has seen many Michelin stars and chef hats, including as head chef at Marco Pierre White's self-titled Knightsbridge restaurant in London, through to partnerships in the Van Handel Group's Circa at The Prince and Federation Square's Taxi in Melbourne. Since 2012, Michael has continued to draw hungry Melbournians in droves, serving exceptional Asian-inspired cuisine at Lucy Liu alongside business partner Scott Borg.

Tickle your tastebuds with pizza, pasta and cocktails at Nobby’s newbie, Zephyr Kitchen & Bar

09 Mar 2022

Named after a not-so-small bullock called Nobby (true story), the pint-sized pocket of Nobby Beach has come a long, long way since the days of hazy cocktail-filled Sunday sessions at Little Beans and coffees at The Cave (if you know, you know). Nowadays, we're spoilt for choice when it comes to sensational tipple temples and top-notch neighbourhood nosheries. One thing that hasn't changed, however, is the beachside suburb's alluring promise of a fun time. Nobby's newcomer Zephyr Kitchen & Bar brings each of these things together for the ultimate trifecta – kick-ass cocktails, toothsome bites and casual-cool vibes.

From Oaxaca to Coolangatta – Clay Cantina dishes up an authentic taste of Mexico with laneway vibes — Restaurants

From Oaxaca to Coolangatta – Clay Cantina dishes up an authentic taste of Mexico with laneway vibes

22 Feb 2022

Hidden down an unassuming Coolangatta laneway, Clay Cantina is not somewhere you'll simply stumble across – chances are you’ll smell it before you see it. For the last little while, the back-alley space has been the backdrop for Mexican cooking classes under the skilled tutelage of Kristal Smith, who long-time locals may remember from Currumbin's Pop Taco and as one of the original founders of Goodness Gracias in Palm Beach. Having stepped away from her business ventures to focus her efforts on the cooking school, Kristal began to feel that old familiar and impossible-to-resist pull back to the kitchen with renewed enthusiasm. Last week, Clay Cantina expanded its offering to serve traditional Mexican food (and booze) through the kitchen window and into the laneway. The word 'authentic' gets thrown around a little too frequently these days, but every now and then something comes… more
