Food Scene 🥗

Following are our personal recommendations around Burleigh. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have.
If you love Asian, you are in luck around Burleigh as this is one of many in the area that serves up gorgeous asian fusion dishes. Jimmy Wahs has great food but a little pricey for the size of the food. Easy to get there. Just walk towards the mains part of town and its located on the Gold Coast Highway.

Vegetarian? Then this place is for you. Their specialty is the falafel but we love the curries that change on a daily basis. Its a bane marie style which you can choose from their daily selections. You order by plate size. We have never been dissapointed. This is located on James Street, our main shopping street in Burleigh.

This is a funky permanent night markets that offer food vans to cater for everyone. A great bar and fabulous entertainment, usually held only on Fridays and Saturdays. We have been here during holidays and it can be incredibly busy and sometimes the vans can run out of food so go early.

Beautiful Brunch they offer once a month which we can recommend. This is located on the same rooftop as the pavilion (the pav) so you will have spectacular views across Burleigh reaching all the way to Surfers and beyond on a clear day.

Asian Fusion once again lol. Most of these restaurants have a "Feed me" option, which is great if you aren't sure on what you want. You cannot go wrong with anything you order here. Can highly recommend the beef and mushroom washed down with a Yuzu Chilli Margarita

Asian fusion restaurant with terrific views along Burleigh Beach. Its right on the water and in big surf the restaurant has been designed to take the big waves. Even though it closes during big seas, its spectacular to see. If you just want a quick bite to eat and a drink, then have a seat outside and order their famous "Bug Roll".

Drinks & Nightlife 🍹

We have many gems in and around Burleigh, micro beweries, gin and whisky bars, hidden bars that only the locals know about. And most of them are walking distance from you.
I call this our local garage pub. If you love the little alleyway pubs in Melbourne, then this is for you. Hidden away in the side lanes where only the locals really know about. Located minutes away from the apartment. Exit the Gold Coast Highway side and head towards James Street. This bar in located in an alleyway between Gold Coast Highway and James Street. There is a real estate called Realty Blue on the corner where you need to turn left. You will see the pub on the left hand side.

A couple of doors down from Grandpa Jacks, so put this on your pub crawl list. One of our favorite local beers. Its a little shed that offer their full range of beers. It can get very crowded due to the size of the shed but worth a visit to try another great local beer.
