Address: 1 Hooker Boulevard, Broadbeach Waters

Verified user reviews
This is a fantastic fusion of music, dance, comedy and a sly horror twist. From the first time you enter the castle and see the actors in their special costumes and the atmospheric set design to the fun ghost train that runs to the theatre and the show itself, you are in for pure entertainment. The lead actors are great and clearly enjoying the show, and combined with the energy of the restaurant staff, it creates an exciting atmosphere for the whole evening. Don't take things too seriously and you will be rewarded with a night of laughs, great food and delicious cocktails
This is a well-known local restaurant that serves food that is somewhere between light meals and full meals. In fact, many tourists come here to eat seafood burgers and other dishes. Its main atmosphere and decoration style are based on vampire themes.

Last night was my little daughter's birthday💕We came to our favorite Gold Coast Observation Deck Q1 Building·Take the fastest elevator in the Southern Hemisphere🛗1 minute to Sky Point on the 77th floor🌃You can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Gold Coast without blind spots🌊We went in the afternoon·In the evening, we enjoyed a sumptuous dinner and birthday snacks at the Bistro & Bar in the circular lobby on the 77th floor🍩🍰☕️After it got dark, the rainbow-colored lights inside the observation deck were even more stunning🌈At this moment, the night view of the coast outside was even more spectacular·The lights were dim·It makes people have endless reverie...The whole family is suitable to enjoy the shock of the Southern Hemisphere coastline in the Q1 Observation Restaurant...We have actually come to Q1 for dinner many times·The breakfast buffet here is also good...I will come again next time~
#This bar is a bit cool #Discover the colors of the journey #Yearning for your Australia #High-end hotel that you will understand after sleeping #Scenic restaurant
If you haven't been to Q1 Building, then you really came to Gold Coast in vain. 💯 As the tallest building on Gold Coast, Q1 Building is also one of the tallest pure residential buildings in the world. Even if you don't stay in Gold Coast for a long time, this building is definitely the first choice for checking in, because the 77th floor observation deck of the building is a 360-degree full-floor glass window. Here, you can overlook the Gold Coast, high-rise buildings, beaches, waves, and cities. It's a pity that it was a rainy day when I went there, otherwise there should be a more spectacular sunset.
🌟Highlights: The elevator reaches the 77th floor at a very fast speed. There is also a screen in the elevator, where you can see yourself rising rapidly with the elevator.
💗Recommendation reason:
There are no crowds of popular attractions, and there is no time limit. If you have time, you can stay here from afternoon to night.
There is also a bar on the observation deck, and the price is very conscience, without the so-called classic double price. Locals also like to come here for afternoon tea with friends whenever they have something to do.
📌Tips: It is recommended that you arrive around 5 o'clock so that you can see the daytime scenery, sunset and night scenery.
💰Tickets: It is more cost-effective to buy a combined ticket with Dream World online.

Enjoy endless ocean views during your meal, featuring various local steaks
Verified user reviews
There is a pretty good American restaurant near the beach next to Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast of Australia. It is called Hurricane's Grill. We ordered the lunch set, which was quite cost-effective.
Actually, I had originally planned to stay in a hotel room with a sea view. After all, I was here, so I should sleep facing the sea. Unfortunately, the days we went there were local holidays, and hotel prices skyrocketed. We had to compromise with the Rhapsody Resort, which had no sea view but was still expensive.
.
1⃣️Rhapsody Resort (breakfast & homemade dinner)
The feature of this hotel is that you can cook in the room. There is a large terrace on the top floor 41 with a sea view, but this terrace also has a bug, which is that it will not open until 7 o'clock in the morning, and I missed the sunrise time perfectly. It's a pity. Next time I have a chance to go to the Gold Coast, please let me stay in a sea view room~
Every meal in Australia is very expensive, and we always have to save a little, so we can go to the supermarket to buy it and cook it ourselves. However, there are not many things that can be purchased in the supermarket, that is, steaks and prawns, and there are relatively few seafood varieties. I didn't see lobsters. Remind everyone that there may be no salt in the room, so remember to bring back a few small packages of salt when you go out to eat. There is definitely no oil, so I just rely on the meat I bought to supplement the fat~
2⃣️Hurricane's Grill & Bar Surfers Paradise
This restaurant was recommended by the tour guide the night we came back from the glowworm caves. It was really enjoyable to eat meat. The dishes here are all delicious. 6 oysters and half a grilled ribs are actually not enough for us. I think it’s not enough now, but it was almost 9 o’clock, so it’s better to eat less. In the end, I made up for it with a prawn bread, but I was really too hungry after the night tour.
3⃣️Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
You can eat delicious chicken steak set meals in the restaurant at the entrance. It is recommended to come here and dine in the restaurant at the entrance;

Highlights:
The hotel's rooftop revolving restaurant with 360-degree views of the Gold Coast
Verified user reviews
It is the only revolving buffet restaurant in Queensland. When dining, you can enjoy music and the restaurant slowly revolves 360 degrees, and you can see the bustling city and the long coastline. The crab and deep-sea shrimp are the best.
Life on the Gold Coast is very comfortable as you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food. Not only can we relax in Surfers Paradise during the day, but we can also eat and drink and feel the night breeze of the South Pacific at night.

Cafe bar on the coast at Burleigh Heads. I came here because it was evening and the sunset was beautiful.
Gold Coast🏖️Enjoy the popular restaurants with a view on the beach line
❤️Mo Ke Travel takes you to check in the popular restaurants in Australia and New Zealand~
The beach line of the Gold Coast is one of the most famous attractions in Australia. If you want to enjoy the beautiful beach scenery here, there is not only a way to take a helicopter, you can also enjoy food and view the scenery at the viewing restaurant on the shore.
Burleigh Pavilion🏖️Google rating 4.1
🏖️Burleigh Pavilion is located in Burleigh Heads in the middle of the Gold Coast beach line. It is a new popular restaurant opened in 2019.
🏖️The restaurant covers an area of about 1,200 square meters and consists of three parts, namely The Tropic, The Pavilion and Beach Bar. These three parts have different styles, and there are also some differences in the menu.
🏖️The Tropic is a more formal all-day restaurant that provides exquisite food at all times, including ribeye steak, slow-roasted lamb legs, oysters, Japanese wagyu, etc.
🏖️Tropic does not have the same formal dining requirements as other restaurants, but it is particularly suitable for daily and formal dining occasions. The overall decoration uses a large area of pink and mint green, and the brass-edged furniture decorations that have been very popular in recent years are used as embellishments. It is a casual tropical ins style.
🏖️The most popular dining area in the restaurant is the outdoor casual dining area Beach Bar. This dining area is close to the beach on the Gold Coast. Diners here can directly enjoy the ocean scenery of Burleigh Heads and enjoy the natural sea breeze.
🏖️Beach Bar is mainly white, with a Moroccan style, clean and pure. White tables and chairs, parasols and natural marble slabs create a relaxed and comfortable dining area for diners.
🏖️Here, you can enjoy the sea breeze, the beautiful scenery, and the wines and delicious simple meals prepared by the restaurant's bartenders. It is definitely a good choice for the weekend.
🏖️The Pavilion is a tavern that serves high-calorie foods such as burgers and pizza. It is located on the top floor of the restaurant and is also an outdoor space.
📍Address: 3a/43 Goodwin Terrace, Burleigh Heads

A good buffet. You can eat as many oysters as you want. There are also lots of crabs. I like to make my own seafood salad, which tastes good. There are lots of shrimps, and the children are very satisfied with the meal.
The restaurant in the Sheraton Hotel is very elegant, the seafood is very fresh, and the service is very good. The environment is very good, spacious and bright, and very comfortable.
