Apres Surf

Located perfectly between the beach and James Street, Apres Surf, right on the Burleigh bend, is set to be your new favourite spot for all things comfort food and cocktails!

As soon as you walk into Apres Surf, your eyes can’t help but take in every detail. From disco balls and chandeliers to retro skis and posters, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time to a grungy Aussie hangout.

The cool vibes continue as you step further into the restaurant. Meander past the vintage Qantas, beer, band and movie posters. The open plan kitchen allows you to watch your delicious food being whipped up!

If you prefer to sit amongst the fresh air, there is plenty of outdoor seating as well. Only steps away from Burleigh beach, the sea breeze is the perfect addition to your evening at Apres Surf.

The decor isn’t the only cool thing about this place! The expansive drinks menu leaves you wanting for nothing. The Classic Marg is absolutely delicious and will please even the most regular marg drinker… If you’re looking for something a little different, be sure to try the Coconut Daiquiri.

Moving on to the food menu, from the “To Share” section, the Crispy Southern Fried Chicken is as equally crispy on the outside as it is tender on the inside. For those who aren’t afraid to get a little messy, give the Buffalo Wings a go!

From the “Sando’s” the highlight has to be the Whiting Sando. The super crispy fish is a perfect contrast to the delightfully soft bread. It’s all topped off with crunchy coleslaw and tasty tartare.

Don’t fear vegans! There’s a lot on the menu for our non-meat eating friends as well. The Vegan Nasi Goreng from the “Mains” is flavourful and packs a real punch - for the fans of a bit of heat! Otherwise, opt for the Vegan Sando or the Vegan Chicken Burger. Other items on the “Burger” menu include a Truffle Cheeseburger and a Filet-O-Fish.

The knowledgable bar staff at Apres Surf even take requests! If your favourite cocktail isn’t on the menu, don’t worry - just ask and you shall receive.

Good to know - The portion sizes are very generous! Apres Surf also has plenty of specials and even trivia nights! Check out their specials here.

Need to know - There’s plenty of parking nearby on the Esplanade.
