Queensland's Gold Coast has always been known for amazing beach holidays, and famous for its major events and theme parks but, over the last few years, it has also earned itself a reputation as a real foodie destination.
One of the reasons for this is the growth - and current rejuvenation - of Surf Parade, the famous restaurant strip located in Broadbeach. A $1 million streetscaping project is well underway, transforming the strip into a people-friendly dining and entertaining precinct.
Best Alfresco Dining
With on-street parking scrapped, and pavements widened, it will now be even more of a pleasure to wander along the strip, enjoying the ambience and choosing where to have dinner. Alfresco dining is about to get even better!
The great thing about Gold Coast restaurants is the choice, and range of budget options. From traditional seaside fish and chips to gourmet cuisine and silver service, it's all here. The range of flavours is quite amazing and you can just about eat your way around the world!
Proximity to the dining strip is just one of the great things I personally love about the Phoenician Resort at Broadbeach. Like most people, I enjoy a good wine with dinner, which usually means an expensive taxi ride home. But here, you can leave your car in the resort's secure undercover parking bay and walk.
Step Out For Something Sweet
And after a substantial meal, a slow stroll back to your apartment along the beachfront is just perfect! It's almost like having your own Phoenician restaurant onsite.
Of course, with the resort apartments boasting fully equipped kitchens, many guests like to eat in, and then go out for dessert. Stop in for coffee and something sweet, or enjoy a freshly made gelato as you wander along the beach under the moonlight.
If you're a bit of a foodie, and you've never been to Broadbeach, you're really missing out!
