Restaurants near Mercure Gold Coast Resort

First time visiting on the recommendation of a friend and we were super impressed! Very cool and moody interior, actually comfortable chairs, gorgeous wine closet and really cool to see the chefs working through the window while we sat and chatted. Alberto was our waiter and he was exceptional. Sweet, charming, explained the greatest hits of the menu and ensured my allergy was on the books and catered for. He wished my partner a happy birthday, was witty and hilarious and worked incredibly hard - as we could see him running around to all his other tables with the same level of care and enthusiasm. Food was next level. My partner got the tasting plate of steaks and was impressed by each and every one. The mushrooms and potato sides were to die for. Cocktails were delicious - summer breeze and purple rain were our poison. And to top it all off - the hot fudge brownie was so decadent and impressive. Alberto even brought out a plate with chocolate writing for my partners birthday with his running joke of it being everyone’s 21st if they were celebrating a birthday. All in all - so glad to have had such a wonderful experience.

Once again great food, great atmosphere and great service. AAA+

The food was incredible. The service was amazing. I will be coming back here for dinner again and again

First time and it was amazing! Food, service and cocktails were unbeatable. Such a nice restaurant to have close to home. We got the Kingfish, Tuna, Beef Carpaccio & Scallops for entree then got a steak each with mash, salad and chips. Make sure you book and get there early as it fills up quickly

If you’re looking for a comforting yet elevated dining experience, The Hideaway Kitchen and Bar is worth a visit, especially for their fried rice and dumplings. The fried rice is a standout—perfectly cooked with a balance of smoky, savory flavors that hit just the right note. Each grain of rice is infused with rich seasoning, complemented by tender vegetables and a subtle hint of umami. The dish isn’t overly greasy, which often happens with fried rice, but instead feels light yet satisfying. The addition of protein—whether it’s shrimp, chicken, or pork—only elevates the flavor profile without overpowering the dish. It’s clear that attention to detail goes into every spoonful. The dumplings are equally impressive. With a delicate, yet sturdy, wrapper, they strike the perfect balance between chewy and tender. The filling inside is a delicious mix of finely seasoned meat (or vegetables, depending on your choice), and each bite bursts with flavor. The dipping sauce, a tangy blend with just the right amount of heat, brings the entire dish together. Whether steamed or fried, these dumplings are a must-try and pair wonderfully with the fried rice. Overall, The Hideaway Kitchen and Bar has mastered the art of creating simple yet flavorful dishes that keep you coming back for more. The fried rice and dumplings are a perfect example of how comfort food can be both familiar and exciting with a little creativity and care.
