About the restaurant

The Gold Coast’s best boutique wine bar!

We are all about conversation, funky beats, tasty eats and even better wine. Finally, a place to enjoy a good time, any night of the week. There is one thing we might keep from you though and that’s how to get in, you’ll have to book to find out.

It’s always a stellar meal and excellent dining experience at Izakaya Midori. The food and presentation and the fact that it’s all plant based are the reasons we keep going back. Well done again to the chefs and staff. KUTGW.

Our return to Labart after a number of years was delightful - we had a lovely meal with good food and wine. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. On our visit, protein offering was Wagyu heavy (3 types) and some of the seafood was not from Old, merely an observation rather than criticism. The wine offering has altered too - a good smattering by the glass with plenty of international bottles on the list. Not as much fun though if you wanted to mix and match your way through the meal, and that is probably more a sign of the times.

This was the first time having a dinner at this place and absolutely amazing! We were having sashimi, wagyu tataki, champon noodle and aburi salmon roll, everything great! There were some customers and hall staffs spoke fluent Japanese. We asked their recommendation and kindly suggested some dishes:) Totally, we had a great experience at the restaurant ! Thank you so much.
