Lake views, a cold drink, and a menu that actually covers the table, this Carrara clubhouse pulls well beyond the golf crowd. The bistro runs a full menu with something for kids, something for the group that can't agree, and pizza when you just want pizza. Booths make it easy for big birthday dinners where everyone splits the bill. Thursday evenings have a following, with golfers rolling in after the range around 5pm for the special offers. Service gets consistent praise across the reviews, attentive without being fussy. The Melbourne Cup lunch drew a crowd for good reason. Sunday live music sessions have been missed since they stopped, which tells you something about how much the regulars care about this place. Worth booking ahead for groups.

What People Say
It is a nice place for dinner in a great setting at Emerald Lakes. There is something for most people. We met a group of friends for dinner and enjoyed great service, welcoming staff and excellent food. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable.
Great meal, attentive service, full menu available, pleasant family friendly environment. Booths available. Great for family birthdays. Everyone can order and pay for their own meals in a big group. Local Musicians on Sunday lunch is really missed.
This establishment offers a truly wonderful experience. The culinary offerings are exceptionally well-prepared and delicious. Guests will find the ambiance to be remarkably pleasant. It is a place that certainly leaves a lasting positive impression. We highly recommend this club for its delightful food and atmosphere.
I went for the Melbourne cup lunch and the food was great. Good venue!
Great night, date night in the clubhouse. Thursday 5pm. Prior we have a round or practice on range. Range and club house very enjoyable. Made some suggestions to management ref clubhouse of which some changes were adopted. Nice to know your pragmatic ideas are being heard. Overall is great food, evening and golfing with special offers well worth considering.

Blackboard Varsity
Varsity Lakes
Lake-facing and larger than it looks, Blackboard Varsity runs a tight ship at Varsity Lakes. The halloumi has its devotees, the 5:30am opens have their regulars, and the coffee art is taken seriously. Get in early; the carpark fills fast.

Tarte Bakery & Cafe
Burleigh Heads
The almond croissant and coffee mont blanc have their own fan base at this Burleigh Heads walk-in bakery. The pastry cabinet alone is worth the detour. Arrive early on weekends, skip the risotto, and let the queue be your quality signal.

The Beechmont Hotel
Advancetown
Free live music, low-and-slow brisket, and line dancing on a Tuesday — The Beechmont Hotel is a proper country pub sitting above the Gold Coast in the Hinterland. The smokehouse platter is the move. Bring the whole crew, grab a spot outdoors, and let the meals come when they come.

Paddock Bakery
Burleigh Heads
A weatherboard café with a garden courtyard that draws Gold Coast crowds for good reason. The Dubai chocolate French toast is the order everyone's photographing, but the jam doughnut and Benny bagel are the real regulars' picks. Fast service, generous portions, and baked goods made in-house.
