Our favourite local restaurant- try the grilled Octopus!
In true Italian fashion, the modern a la carte menu showcases exceptional local produce cooked simply. The hand-selected team of chefs will pay respect to the traditional Italian way, whilst bringing some exciting new flavours and techniques to the fold. The menu meanders from morning munchies (fresh pastries, sandwiches and grab-and-go options) right through to pizza and pasta-filled evenings. The antipasti provides the ideal place to start, with freshly baked focaccia della nonna through to pesto-filled burrata from Byron Bay all vying for your attention. Seafood features heavily on the extensive menu with the likes of grilled Western Australian octopus with ‘nduja dressing, grilled king prawns and a hefty 2.2-kg whole Murray cod nestled next to a mighty 1-kg T-Bone, which is sliced and ready for sharing.

The local Tugun fruit shop has a great selection that we love to purchase from but occasionally you’ve gotta go to a bigger supermarket and it’s the agony as we all know of arriving in a shopping centre struggling to find a carpark and then wasting time going to the shop and getting a nice bottle of wine to come home.
This place is extraordinary in solving that problem the shopping centre has an underground car park access from fourth Avenue Palm Beach you go up a conveyor belt and you arrive at Coles and the local liquor outlet. If you are keen for a coffee or perhaps a really great cut of meat the butcher here is one of the best on the Gold Coast- Not to mention there’s also a pharmacy.
