Where to Eat
While the pool club offers snacks and cocktails alfresco style, there are several world-class restaurants in the neighbourhood of Broadbeach. Local favourite, Mamasan, has recently reopened after renovations and features a new sun-drenched alfresco dining area. The Asian fusion degustation menu features dishes such as whole tiger prawns with shellfish kombu butter, bone marrow with butter curry, and spanner crab tortellini dumplings. It's a dining experience that'll help turn winter into your favourite season.
Another Asian go-to in Broadbeach is Kiyomi. It's The Star Gold Coast's signature Japanese dining experience and blends culinary tradition with modern flavours and plating. With fresh sashimi, omakase, and a signature sharing menu, Kiyomi is a taste of Tokyo (without the long-haul flight). When it comes to Italian food in Broadbeach, Gemelli Italian is where it's at. Featuring traditional recipes, woodfire pizzas, and melted gnocchi bowls, Gemelli Italian is the perfect dinner option for a romantic winter getaway on the Gold Coast.
