BASKK at Kirra Point
Our first venue is a celebration of coastal style and great food or as they like to describe it an “Oceanic Daydream”. It’s a must see with their great island vibes and beachfront location at Kirra Point.
Baskk is welcoming the season of the long lunch and vibrant nights that only a Gold Coast sunset can provide with a fantastic selection of Sea, Land and Garden plates. Flowing cocktails and locally sourced tap beer with a vast range of wines which are all great pairings for that long lunch.
Be sure to head down and discover Baskk anytime, but we prescribe heading in on a weekend when the venue also brings in some live music playing into the night and making a great dining atmosphere.
It’s just what the Doctor ordered to get over those winter blues, Located at Beach House Plaza, Shop 2, 52-58 Marine Parade, Coolangatta QLD 4225
La Bouche
The next stop on our Spring Tastes Tour is La Bouche an amazing Patisserie and Bakery in Cleveland which is fast becoming a mini tourist destination of its own with locals ravings bringing people from all over to try their mouthwatering and continually emerging sweet and savoury offerings.
But I hint that you go and try one of the Viennoiseries, that’s the croissants danishes or brioche. ( the word I learnt today) keep an eye out for one of the stuffed croissants they have flavours like the 3 Little Piggies sausage roll- pork & chorizo sausage roll wrapped in bacon Wagyu, Caramelised Onion & Feta Chicken, Leek & White Wine Pie Pulled Pork Pie with Dijon Mustard & Honey YUM.
Michael & Erin have a passion for sharing their pastries with the community they were both born and raised in. The husband and wife duo now with a great team of six are working to bring everyone their favourites, daily, while also striving to make sure there is always something new and exciting to try.
Head in say hello and grab a great cup of coffee and a tasty treat 🙂 You can find La Bouche at 2/71 Shore Street West, Cleveland.
Botero House
Speaking of great coffee our next venue is Botero house a cafe and bar built to exemplify everything great about their namesake Botero Coffee Roasters. Taking that honest and fun country roots of their roastery and blending it with Brisbane’s urban landscape to give a truly unique feel.

NODO
While in Brisbane we heard some buzzes of a Gluten Free bakery in Newstead Brisbane that is changing the lives of many of us who want a fantastic sweet treat without the Dough hents NO DO was born. With that, they are famous with locals for their ‘baked not fried’ donuts, and we know why yum yum, no wonder they have grown into something of an institution amongst Brissy people with a healthy obsession for wholesome food.
We thought it was time to check them out especially when Kate and the team have coined the philosophy to “eat donuts for breakfast’.
Which means they are always working to put the fun back into wholesome food.
Everything they make is lovingly prepared with nothing but good intentions and the best possible, naturally gluten-free ingredients.
The Creative Director Rhys Crowley has embraced “the nodo way” to create a tasty brunch menu that is not only wholesome but also an experience in its own right. The menu is seasonal, completely gluten-free and collaborates with the bakery on many of the menu items to showcase the full range of breads and baked goods.
So for the treats and eats crowd head to 1 Ella Street, Newstead
