You will need to book this one, 100% worth it for a special occasion. I would say this is the most expensive restaurant in Burleigh but I love that it is ambient, not too noisy and the food is on point every time. They do a great wine pairing which is worth it.

Best location, will need to pre book. There are also walk in tables out by the sand and a bar menu - Bug rolls are our favorite

Great with kids as you can watch them make your pizza at the viewing window. Close to the beach, so perfect to take away and find a picnic table with a view. There’s also a bottle shop next door.

This place is soooooo good and great if you feel like a good power walk to get there and back as it’s located a little further out of Burleigh. Very difficult to snag a car park but every bit worth it. Not so great if it’s a rainy day.

Vegetarian option in James street. Casual dining or take away. Affordable. Kofta salad, veg curry, and the passion fruit cheesecake are my picks

Another epic coffee shop, our neighbors are obsessed with this place but I often forget about it as it is tucked away on Park Avenue. Worth a try!

The Tropic is a new favorite of ours, great views and the food has really stepped up a notch. It is located next to The Pavillion - same building so it’s just a few steps next door for a relaxed atmosphere after lunch or dinner should you wish. Get a table out on the balcony they have the best views but at nighttime inside is nice too.
