About the restaurant

Eddy + Wolff, a hidden gem in Gold Coast, is an Asian bar and restaurant tucked away in Robina.

Our cosy 24-seat venue strikes the perfect balance between an intimate and lively atmosphere. Adored by locals, it's a destination you don't want to miss. This unique dining experience transports you to another time, immersing you in authentic, heartful flavours of modern Asian cuisine.

Through the music we play and the vibrant dishes we serve, you'll find yourself reminiscing about old school days or travels across Asia, all while feeling a profound sense of belonging and connection to where we all came from.

We had the tasting menu with the superior wines. The tasty morsels were superb and superbly presented. Most of the wines were excellent. What makes it all outstanding, however, is the extraordinarily welcoming and well-informed servers. I would add that I considered the price very reasonable indeed for what was delivered and how it was delivered.

Food was great. Steak sublime but very noisy with louder music from the bar area impacting the ability to hear across the tables- seated next to the main door. Only one handicap lot for the whole building - WTH?
