Lobster & Co at Pacific Fair

Overview

Sometimes, your tastebuds crave something special. They hanker for the kind of dish you're not going to eat every day, aka a treat yo'self type of culinary experience. Here are three things that they'd likely demand in that situation: lobster, truffles and champagne.

If that sounds like your idea of an indulgent meal, Lobster & Co has you sorted this winter, which is when it's returning to the Gold Coast for a new stint of decadence. As always, you'll find those three aforementioned items on the core menu, with the Lobster & Co van all about serving lobster rolls with truffle fries and flutes of Pommery champagne.

You'll pay $50 for the food combo, which features a whole confit lobster tail served warm on a caramelised brioche bun with buttermilk fennel slaw, plus a side of parmesan truffle fries. A chilled glass of the champers will cost you $20 extra.

Also on offer: a second roll, a Thai fusion number, which includes cabbage, green papaya and sriracha mayo — and lobster, obviously — on a brioche bun.

Lobster & Co's latest southeast Queensland stint will hit up Pacific Fair in Broadbeach on the Gold Coast from Monday, July 18–Sunday, August 7 — and if you can't make it then, it'll also head north and stop off at the Moreton Bay Food and Wine Festival from Friday, August 19–Sunday, August 21.
