About the restaurant

Etsu is a Japanese izakaya which focuses on local amazing produce in our dishes which are designed to be shared amongst friends. We have one of the largest Japanese whisky collections on our back bar which we recommend served over hand cut ice or try one of our sakes or Japanese tap beers. Our sashimi is the freshest around and our fave place to sit is at the dining bar. Kanpaii!!

Located in the heart of cosmopolitan Broadbeach, overlooking Victoria Park, and opposite Gold Coast Sofitel Hotel, Star Casino & the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Enjoy an award winning beef menu of the highest quality, with some cuts exclusive to Moo Moo Restaurant Group. These cuts include; Dry Aged, Pasture Fed, All Natural and Grain Fed which include a mix of Wagyu and Angus breeds.

Broadbeach

About the restaurant

Hospitality Heavyweight Scott Imlach has teamed up with Head Chef Sam Sheehan to bring a modern take on classic Asian street food to the Gold Coast. A staple in the local dining scene since early 2016, the laid back alfresco eatery has proven its timeless flavours to locals and guests alike.

Centrally located on the outskirts of vibrant Broadbeach, with cocktails that delight, and a menu that will take you straight to a side street of Vietnam, it is a must when it comes to Asian dining on the coast.

About the restaurant

The Dining room is the heart and soul when dining at O’Reilly’s, offering delicious food and a good selection of wines, including our very own O’Reilly’s wines.

Recount your day’s adventures with fellow guests and plan the days ahead over a hearty meal. Share your dining experience with the wildlife of Lamington National Park, where at breakfast, you will find masses of colour in the bay windows as the Regent and Satin Bowerbirds come in for a bath. You may spot a Brushtail Possum or a Sugar Glider at night!

The Dining Room is open for breakfast and dinner daily.

The buffet experience was good. It would be even better if there was also a second restaurant, a la carte to cater for the growing numbers of guests and provide a choice of dining options.
