If you are thinking of the Gold Coast in terms of sand, surf and beaches but what you don't know are that if you are planning to spend your holiday in the Gold Coast this year, you should check out the local food scene. Here are our top ten recommended delicious delights.
Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside the Nutella-stuffed chocolate chip cookies served at Paddock Bakery are the size of your fist and also pack a punch of chocolatey flavour.
The Eazy E Burger at Notorious E.A.T which is a food truck you can find on the Gold Coast is made up of two beef patties, three hash browns, bacon, grilled onions, cheese and BBQ sauce. It might not be the healthiest but it's definitely worth gaining a few calories for.
At Goji Granola Bar you can many delicious desserts in a bowl, but no one quite does acai as they do. Try the Coco Fluff soft serve for breakfast and you will never go back to tradition.
You can find poke bowls all over at restaurants in hotels in Gold Coast Qld. They come in all varieties whether you are looking for vegan, pork or prawn options and the only way you can get a better poke bowl is if you take a flight to Hawaii.
The LC is not just home to the best Vegan Poutine you've ever probably had in your life, it is also a classy and cool interior that serves high-end pub grub and delicious cocktails. Head over for a drink or two in the evenings.
Plant-based vegan smoothie bowls are not just good for you, they are great for those Instagram food shots. You can find healthy smoothie bowls anywhere on the Gold Coast but do try the ones at Oaks Gold Coast Hotel for breakfast one of these days.
Salted caramel and Gaytime eclairs anyone? Even if you are not big on pastries you are most likely not to say no to eclairs and the ones that they make at Bam Bam Bakehouse are bound to spoil you for eclairs for life. You haven't had fluffy pastry until you visit this place.
The Pita Pockets at The Pocket Burleigh bring you delicious concoctions stuffed into generous slices of the freshest pita bread right on the beach. What more could you be asking for right after coming up for a late brunch after a sea bath? Be sure to go through all the options and choose more than one because every kind is just so delicious you won't be satisfied with just one.
What are raw cheesecake bites, you ask? No one knows. But it is utterly delicious and that's all anyone cares about. Try the Ferrero Rocher and Turkish Delight treats at Blend Love. Oh, and they are 100% vegan.
Hellenika has the best spanakopita. Head there on a Sunday morning to enjoy this treat on their rooftop location.
