Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Gold Coast

"This Mermaid Beach hot spot preaches slow eating, mindful meals, wellness, and relaxation. Serving up some of the best veggie breaky on the Coast, their menu is made up of delicious healthy treats like apple pie porridge. When we’ve got a big day ahead of us, the vegan nachos are always the option, topped withvegan cheese, house baked beans, house habanero jam, chimichurri, house salsa and guacamole."

"This spot can only be described as the café equivalent of a long, meditative stroll on the beach. Set mere streets back from the sand, here you can enjoy wholesome vegetarian food amongst the crisp white décor and lush plants. Take your morning coffee to the next level with their velvety blend, featuring hints of tangy apricot, brown sugar and chocolate almonds."

"As the smiling server walks towards me with my lemon ricotta pancakes an aroma of lemon wafts across the table. The pancakes are light, doused in a bright yellow vanilla turmeric custard and passionfruit reduction. It’s a pretty as a picture dish that makes for a memorable breakfast."

"With a cosy locale in Southport’s Brickworks, this is the all-vego cafe that plant-based dreams are made of. For a healthy spin on a breaky classic, look no further than the healthy benny with avo on sweet potato discs with tempe, sautéed baby spinach, field mushroom, cashew hollandaise sauce and grilled tomato."

"This Surfers staple was well ahead of the vegan curve, serving its Indian-inspired, cruelty-free fare for the past 12 years. The all-you-can-eat buffet is so reasonably priced it blasts the “only junk food is cheap” theory out of the water. Owner Zardi Manning’s parents opened the Surfers Govindas in 2006 and Zardi has taken up the baton, experimenting with new dishes such as the spinach and “notzarella” salad."

"If you’re looking for a vegan alternative, Govinda’s buffet is 80% vegan and 80% gluten-free. Enjoy a variety of popular dishes, including Dahl soup, potato wedges, salads, penne pasta, kofta balls, and vegetable curries. The restaurant is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 5:45 pm."

"Govindas is one of the most popular vegetarian restaurants on the Gold Coast. It is also very charitable; proceeds from every meal are used towards community projects. This restaurant satisfies both your conscience and your stomach as well."

"The North Room does many wonderful dishes, but it’s safe to say they are best known for their wonderful Bento Boxes. These Bento Boxes are being delivered to you for your convenience, along with several choice alcoholic beverages for you to sip while you eat!. Pair your Bento Box with a negroni or Japanese whisky and have them both delivered to your door."

"Chefs at Govindas cook Indian-style vegan and vegetarian food, which makes this restaurant perfect for people who don’t consume meat at all, as well as for those who would like to try something different. Govindas diners can tuck into a convenient all-you-can-eat veggie buffet with hot and cold selections including a diverse choice of salads, curries and drinks for lunch or dinner. Each day, Govindas vegetarian menu includes new options so that visitors to the area of Surfers Paradise Boulevard can discover new flavours."

"Govindas Surfers Paradise is an iconic restaurant that offers folks on the Gold Coast a wide variety of vegetarian dishes served all-you-can-eat buffet style. Families seeking meat-free meals will be overwhelmed with choice including treats like mango lassi, basmati rice, potato bake, samosas and lasagna. You can choose either dining in or take away."

"The parklands at palm beach have ‘family-day-out’ written all over it. The outdoor space combines a playground, swimming spot, barbecue areas and walking tracks, all at the heart of the Gold Coast. The Pirate Treasure Island playground is a favourite amongst the kids, known for its half sunken sailing ship and giant slide."

"This tucked away expanse of parkland on the cusp of Currumbin Creek is like the Gold Coast's very own pirate cove"

"Distance: 54km Hike time: 3-5 daysThis one’s the big daddy of them all – that’s why they call it the Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk. Lace up your hiking boots on and prepare your leg muscles for a challenge.
