The Tropic
Burleigh Heads
The Tropic, positioned at the northern side of the Burleigh Pavilion, provides breathtaking views of the Gold Coast coastline, and will be sure to make you feel as if you are dining right at the water's edge.
Complete with a mouth-watering produce driven menu and ambient decor, The Tropic is an essential experience for any keen diners in the Burleigh area.
While the view is a standout, the inviting decor adds to the restaurant's undeniable ambience. Complete with breezy, white decor, splashes of greenery, and an pink tile bar, this eatery will captivate you from the moment you set foot inside.
The kitchen is headed by esteemed two hatted chef Guillaume Zika, and crafts meals with the freshest local ingredients. The selection of fresh seafood dishes are a highlight, such as ocean king prawns, seared market fish, and kingfish tartare. If seafood isn't your thing, you can indulge in a selection of their divine mains, such as pork belly with preserved vegetable slaw and apple sauce, mushroom spaghetti with Jerusalem artichokes, Wagyu rump, or broccolini with roast capsicum tahini. With an additional completely vegan menu, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
If you fancy a drink, The Tropic provides an outstanding range of beers, wines and cocktails. Their ongoing list features cocktails such as 'The Palms' (Belvedere Pure, passionfruit liqueur, vanilla, and Moët) and 'Ginger Biscuit' (Plantation Pineapple Rum, Fireball, Amaretto, ginger, and cinnamon).
Need to know - While you can book for a table at this restaurant, they also accept walk-ins.
