"With everyone doing the right thing and staying inside, you now don’t have to miss out on any delicious food because you can get it delivered straight to your door!. Here are 10 fabulous restaurants and cafes around the Gold Coast you can order from the comfort of your couch now:"

"The Star, a luxury 596-room hotel that has been part of the Gold Coast scene for decades, has had a 75 million Australian Dollar facelift as part of a major redevelopment of Queensland's first casino complex, adding extra sparkle to an already glamorous property."

"Despite the new outdoor seating, the best spot at this modern Australian eatery is at the counter, where you can sit, eat and watch the chefs as they instinctively reach across to salt each others' dishes, turn thick medallions of beef on the smoky grill and patiently shape arancini into perfect golden spheres. The food here is meant for progressive sharing, from the fat discs of seared scallops doused in seaweed butter to the signature lamb shoulder roasted in sheep's milk yoghurt. The specials are always worth a look and the chefs are happy to go off-piste for those with dietary requirements."

"The glamorous and up-market eatery Social Eating House + Bar could always attribute part of its charm to the gorgeous venue and buzzing atmosphere, but there’s no doubt that the real show stopper is the food itself. This wonderful restaurant is now offering delivery on its delicious food, so you can enjoy it all at home!. The perfect place to order from if you are celebrating the end of the week after working from home or if you feel like dining with a touch of class, Social Eating House + Bar has you covered."

"These simple, elegant dishes show you what Modern Australian cooking is all about. The menu ranges from soft-shell crab with green mango, peanuts and chilli caramel to a shareable 1kg boned lamb shoulder,..."

"Held every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 5pm until late, the Miami Market offers a laneway dining experience with 25 food vendors of all nationalities. From decadent cannoli and the thickest, plumpest lamingtons I have ever seen with my own two eyes to tender brisket, Mexican and Japanese fare, tasty yiros and so much more!. There’s also a great rotation of events including Drag Queen Bingo, live music and the ever-popular rummage sale."

"Shared tables, funky bars and talented local artists make Miami Marketta the place to be on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. This live music venue, creative hub and outdoor dining venue has plenty of tasty street food and seating for 450 people. Disclosure: The writer loves the Gold Coast’s markets and spends way too much money each time she visits one."

"This open-air street food market is only eight-minutes from Broadbeach, offering the most mouthwatering eats around. Take your family down on any Wednesday, Friday or Saturday of the month to experience this cultural dining hub with a difference. While you devour food from around the world, try locally brewed beer for parents and listen to the local talent."

"It seems sea foam-misted waterfront dining does not come without risk, but we’re stoked the charming lads of Rick Shores took the challenge head on and re-surfaced with grace after the #bigwet. With a carefully-curated Asian fusion menu of next-level taste-bud busters from Vietnam, Thailand, and further afield, this Burleigh Beach favourite not only offers lust-worthy views across the table but some of the most delish dishes we’ve tucked our knife and fork into. Firstly, quality over quantity is the name of the game here, but you will not leave disappointed after the likes of soft shell crab on betel leaf, Rick’s fried (Moreton Bay) bug roll, egg net salad with pork belly and cuttlefish, and king prawn yellow curry."

"Boasting quite possibly the best view in Queensland, Rick Shores is quite literally beachfront – should you walk out the front doors your toes will touch sand. The laid-back share-style menu here features a heavy Asian twist, and has fast become a firm favourite in the state (reaching number two on the recent delicious. 100)."

"If you’re craving some of the Gold Coast’s best pizza, lasagna or pasta, Balboa Italian is for you and thankfully they are now doing home delivery so you can enjoy it from your own dining table!. With a huge array of authentic Italian dishes available for you to choose from, Balboa has something for everyone. They are also offering an at-home range, where they give you the fresh pasta and sauce and you heat it up on your own time!"

"Type: Restaurant and Cafe Italian. Balboa Italian is located at 1069 Gold Coast Highway, Palm Beach, Gold Coast. It is rated 3.7 by 18 Zomato users."

"Located in the Hope Island Central business complex, Kitchen Enn is an intimate dining experience. Its pleasant, nouveau-Japanese ambience matches a line-up of affordable classics like gyoza and salmon sashimi, with Westernised sushi also available. Our favourite is their pork katsu don – it’s one of those delicious dishes that is just oh-so-easy to eat."

"If the name of this bar is not enough to make you think about how exciting and exotic it can be, we suggest you take a trip to Palm Beach and see what it is all about for yourself. The bar has been around since the year 2017 and it has since made a name for itself. It started off living true to its name, carrying a wide array of whiskeys for sippers from all around the world."

"Named after the late 1800’s Scottish ship turned Southport dive site, the Scottish Prince in ‘Palmy’ is the place for whiskey lovers. This nautical-inspired bar is home to over 150 different whisky varieties, a private tasting room and a delicious selection of share plates – what’s not to love?. Where: 27/1176 Gold Coast Hwy, Palm Beach"
