Five Flavours of the Gold Coast

Australian Traveller Magazine's 100 Greatest Australian Gourmet Experiences includes only one member of the Gold Coast Tourism region.  It is a big oversight that they missed the other 4 on the Rainbow Tourism gay welcoming list - which includes Best Restaurant on Gold Coast and Best Restaurant in Queensland!


Recently sampled by our visiting & locals foodie team:

1.  Songbirds in the Forest - Winner of the Queensland Restaurant of the Year Award for Excellence, this is where you go for rainforest atmosphere and a leisurely, creatively-presented eating experience - eg Prawns, Seared Radish Cake & Black Pepper Sauce.
2.  Room 81 - Located at Sofitel Hotel Broadbeach, this chic and contemporary restaurant's menu includes a signature dish called Assiette of White Rabbit.  
3.  Lauxes - The place to go for Moreton Bay Bugs is the deluxe champagne dinning lounge  in Broadbeach's trendy dining district.  
4.  Amalfi Bistro & Wine Bar - Located at Watermark Hotel, with its lounge open to Surfers Paradise Boulveard, this is the place to be for lunch - and later for happy hour. Winner of Best Italian Restuarnt on Gold Coast
5. Ristorante Fellini - At #62 on the Top 100  Dining Experiences list, this Italian eatery is located at Marina Mirage and is the destination   for home-made, heavenly pasta.

Smells good! How do I get the recipe for the sauce? What's the best wine to match this dish?
