Travelling for pleasure is enjoyable. You will feel at ease and will undoubtedly appreciate beautiful sights, as well as experiences such as food culture. When visiting a place, it is best to do and eat as the locals do. This article will provide a list of places to visit while on the Gold Coast.
Gold Coast Local Dining
The Gold Coast is, as the name suggests, a stunningly beautiful region. The city has beautiful natural surroundings and family-friendly attractions, making vacations enjoyable for the entire family. However, if you want to explore the city’s culinary scene, one of its suburbs can provide the best experience, complete with a breathtaking beachfront view.
Broadbeach Dining Destinations
To locals, Broadbeach or “Broadie” is a precinct full of gourmet delis, cafes and restaurants with alfresco dining and beautiful beach views.
ORZO
The award-winning Social Eating House and Bar owner, Executive Chef Matthew Jefferson, has always wanted to open an Italian restaurant. ORZO was born after much thought and planning, and it opened its doors on December 27th, 2019, in Broadbeach.
ORZO is a contemporary coastal restaurant that serves traditional Italian cuisine with a modern edge. As a result, expect high-quality Italian flavours with a hint of Australia. For example, they provide nourishing pasta made in-house daily, and they only use premium ’00’ flour imported from Italy. ORZO also has a curated list of wines, spirits, beers, and cocktails created by their team of top mixologists and bartenders. Each will complement your meal.
Aside from delicious food, ORZO’s dining scene is something you should see and experience. At ORZO’s, no detail is too small, as the restaurant’s design was meticulously curated. The textures, curves, arches and pastel colours make you feel as if you’re in the Mediterranean.
Are you prepared to enter the ORZO’s? They are at 1N-02, The Oracle, 12 Charles Avenue Broadbeach QLD 4218.

Hideaway Kitchen & Bar serves only the finest Asian street food and beverages. They are open every night of the week and serve weekend lunches. However, due to the Covid-19 restrictions, Hideaway Kitchen & Bar had to change the venue capacity. The restaurant accepts walk-ins, but reservations are strongly advised.

First seating is available from 5 PM to 7:30 PM, with a full a la carte menu. The second seating, which is a ticketed event, runs from 8 PM to 12:30 PM.
