And the cafe culture has recently exploded with a glut of cool cafes and casual eaterys serving up mouth watering delights to diners eager to taste the latest in local food trends. Find out where to get your hands on the best food the Gold Coast has to offer.....

It’s dried beef as it should be, with an added a touch of class. Made in small batches by hand, the result is a handmade, artisan product that will impress even the finest connoisseur. It’s pure biltong, you can’t stop eating. So try it for yourself, we promise you’ll be back for more.
