Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Broadbeach Waters

Consistently great food and service - our go to restaurant on the Gold Coast for a special occasion.

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.

Everything was amazing, we have the “Let our chef surprise you + wine. Everything was really good until the butterflied whiting. There were so many bones and scales on the fish, it was just annoying more than anything. That is my only criticism, everything else was perfect. Will dine again.

The food was incredible! It was our first dining experience at your venue, and we'll definitely be returning. Would love to thank Shanice for her amazing service, friendly and professional manner during our time there.

Great afternoon! Lots of fun and delicious food. Great music . Always a great vibe.
