Recently awarded by tripadvisor as “The Best of The Best” in 2020 & 2021. "Traveller's Choice" in 2022, 2023 & 2024."Iran is a country with a diverse geography and ethnic population. It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years. Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes.

    Palette is probably the best dining experience on the Gold Coast and is up there with the best restaurants in Australia. Ambience is relaxing, beautiful lighting and gentle. Service is friendly , well executed and informative. We had the tasting menu , which turned out to be excellent value at $150. The food is divine and the order of plates was perfect. Every serve was a taste sensation and somehow packed good nutrition ( including dessert) into a fine dining experience . It has quirky themed plates , served as a work of art. Well done. A must try restaurant if visiting the Gold Coast or living there. Bonus, beautiful rooftop bar, The Enthusiast, great ambience and views.

    Great place to sit down and have fantastic cocktails and they also have a great casual menu for eats. The lounges were comfy. Service great but food took a bit long coming out but it was busy in the main area of Sharks, so we understood. All up highly recommend this bar for drinks and just relaxing and have a chat with friends.
