745933011462; 14 The Esplanade, Burleigh Heads; mains $10-17;
6am-2.30pm)
A little open-walled caffeine shack with a simple menu of burgers and salads
and an unmistakable panache when it comes to coffee. The grilled haloumi burger with
mushrooms, caramelised onions and chutney will turn you vegetarian. Cool tunes and
friendly vibes.

3pm Sat & Sun)
In a twin-business pairing with
Canteen Kitchen
next door (a larger cafe: mains
$14 to $20), this caffeine cranny casts another vote for Burleigh Heads as the Gold
Coast's coffee capital. A double-shot flat white and a slab of carrot cake will jump-start
your afternoon.
Elephant Rock Café

; 776 Pacific Pde, Currumbin; mains $15-35; 7am-late Tue-Sat, to
4pm Sun & Mon)
On the refreshingly under-developed Currumbin beachfront you'll find this
breezy, two-tier cafe, which morphs from beach-chic by day into ultrachic at night. Great
ocean views and even better seafood linguini.

One
of the Gold Coast's finest, this
ooh-la-la
restaurant right on the beach serves award-win-
ning seafood and has sweeping views up the coast to Surfers. Try the spanner crab soufflé
and the satay spiced green prawns.
