The Moreton Bay bug roll has its own reputation on the Gold Coast, and it earns every bit of it. Rick Shores sits right on Burleigh Heads beach, open-windowed and facing the water, which makes a sunset booking one of the better decisions you can make on the Gold Coast. The menu runs Pan-Asian, with housemade roti built for mopping up coconut prawn curry, salmon spring rolls with avocado cream, and Phoenix Wagyu in truffle honey sauce. A chef's hat on the wall, $90 set menu at lunch, and floor staff who actually know the food. Prices sit firmly in the expensive bracket, but multiple reviewers report leaving too full for dinner. Walk-ins are welcome, though a window seat at sunset is a different story. Book for that.

Absolutely stunning experience at Rick Shores. The view alone is worth the visit. The dining area faces the beach with open windows, and we went during sunset for dinner. It was genuinely magical. We didn’t make a booking and were trying to get one beforehand, but luckily they always keep tables for walk-ins. We didn’t have to wait and even got a bar seat, which was perfect. The host was friendly and informative, setting the tone right away. Our server, Nataniel, was fun, warm, and genuinely attentive. He gave us honest and thoughtful recommendations on what to order, and every suggestion was spot on. He’s a vibe 😂 Amazing food, incredible views, and great service. Will definitely be back.

We went to Rick Shores for an early dinner with a group of four and had a really great experience. The location is stunning right on the beach and the overall vibe is relaxed but still feels special. Service was a standout for us. Our server was excellent and guided us really well with ordering, especially around portion sizes, which made a big difference. We ordered a mix of dishes including cured king salmon sashimi, lobster prawn dumplings, Moreton Bay bug roll, garage chicken, and wagyu sirloin, along with a few Long Island iced teas. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and came out at a good pace. What we appreciated most was that the recommendations were spot on we had just the right amount of food, nothing went to waste, and everyone left happy. Overall, great food, great service, and an amazing setting. Would definitely come back.

Duranbah
Two hours by tractor through orchards growing fruits most Australians have never seen, let alone tasted. The guided tastings are the main event, the jackfruit Reuben and Black Sapote cake make a strong case for staying for lunch, and the fruit stall on the way out is dangerously well-stocked.
Tallebudgera Surf Club
Palm Beach
Beachfront dining at Palm Beach with views straight over Tallebudgera and service that regulars keep coming back for. The seafood platter is the order, the chilli prawn pasta is the dark horse, and the recent renovation has made the whole room worth the trip.
