Seaside Kitchen and Bar

Offering an urban retreat in the middle of Burleigh Heads, Seaside Kitchen and Bar manages to combine all the surrounding natural beauty with recognisable city landscapes within their four walls.

Understated yet intimate, the dining room enjoys all the rustic charm of exposed brick walls coupled with beaming plants, caramel-coloured wooden furniture and exposed bulbs, making for a dark-themed space that is also friendly and welcoming.

When it comes to Seaside's menu, there's no time to be wasted when bold flavours are involved. That's why you'll find crispy fried chicken decorated with homemade spicy mayo, BBQ pork skewers and fried lotus root topped with a nutty peanut sauce. As for seafood, their proximity to the ocean gives way to Thai fish cakes, crispy prawn rolls and grilled scallops done the Asian way.

Bigger plates take on the signature dishes of chicken and cashew stir fry, crab fried rice and soft shell crab served with a Thai dressing. Crispy pork belly in its many forms has its own page on the menu whilst creamy green, yellow and panang curry also prove to be exceedingly tempting options. Add to that barbecued meats, fried noodles and fried barramundi and you have an all-rounded menu that doesn't make the hard decisions any easier.
