Local eats

Heaven-yah Gelateria – my favourite gelato outside of Italy! 

Etsu – funkiest restaurant, cool vibe, great cocktails and whiskeys, plus deliciously fresh seafood. 

Little Truffle – a great restaurant that has been around for many years. Their private dining room is worth it for a special occasion. 

Double Barrel – our team love a salmon bagel from here. It’s a regular stop for pre-open home sustenance. 

Mermaid Organic Butcher – Located at the Waterways Shopping Centre, Gold Coast Organic Meats stock good quality meats and a range of organic products. 

When you need caffeinating

Boardculture – one of my favourite spots to get a long black. Love their friendly service.

Espresso Moto – cool vibe with tasty All Press coffee. 

Canvas – friendly service, buzzing vibe and delicious slices 

Specialty wine

SOMM – great service and great wine in a cool fitout. I love visiting SOMM, having a chat about the wines and buying from a small independent business. SOMM supports a lot of smaller family owned growers and boutique wineries and you’ll always discover something new.
