Vegetarian? Then this place is for you. Their specialty is the falafel but we love the curries that change on a daily basis. Its a bane marie style which you can choose from their daily selections. You order by plate size. We have never been dissapointed.
This is located on James Street, our main shopping street in Burleigh.

This is a funky permanent night markets that offer food vans to cater for everyone. A great bar and fabulous entertainment, usually held only on Fridays and Saturdays. We have been here during holidays and it can be incredibly busy and sometimes the vans can run out of food so go early.

Asian Fusion once again lol. Most of these restaurants have a "Feed me" option, which is great if you aren't sure on what you want. You cannot go wrong with anything you order here. Can highly recommend the beef and mushroom washed down with a Yuzu Chilli Margarita

Asian fusion restaurant with terrific views along Burleigh Beach. Its right on the water and in big surf the restaurant has been designed to take the big waves. Even though it closes during big seas, its spectacular to see.
If you just want a quick bite to eat and a drink, then have a seat outside and order their famous "Bug Roll".
