Sumptuous Fine Foods Currumbin | Must Do Gold Coast

Sumptuous Fine Foods, in the heart of Currumbin, is a gourmet café and catering service, bringing tantalising textures and the freshest flavours to food-lovers in the know.

Sumptuous Fine Foods is as by name exactly that by nature—a source of splendid, specially-prepared and luxuriously-presented gourmet food. The talent behind the impressive cuisine, is a chef who trained in Japanese kitchens both in Australia and in Japan over 30 years, with an extensive repertoire - from Asian cuisines to the fusions of Modern Australian and Bush Tucker.

While the catering service is the main business for the team, the Sumptuous Fine Foods café welcomes curious food lovers in to its rustic but welcoming venue on Currumbin Creek Road.

You can dine in and taste the gourmet cuisine, choosing a seat under the shaded outdoor table, upstairs amongst the rustic corrugated iron, vintage and timber furnishings or amongst the well-stocked shelves downstairs, but be warned, you are bound to leave with armfuls of gourmet groceries, including Japanese, Greek, organic, local produce and other diverse ethically made foods.

Using only the freshest ingredients, Leesa is keen to cater to individual desires and diets in the ever changing Sumptuous menu. Breakfast is served all day with staples and twists depending on your taste. Choose a ham, vegetarian, smoked salmon or Kimchi omelette for example. The smashed avo comes with edamame and feta. The Sumptuous Granola is made on site with seasonal fruit and spent grain, with a gluten-free option.

The lunch menu is another wonder to be explored, from the epic Poke Bowl made on a bed of rice from your choice of sashimi grade tuna, Atlantic salmon, chicken or handcrafted organic tofu, to the equally enticing Buddha Bowl made on a bed of vegetables, you can’t go wrong.

Other delights include the organic falafel wrap or the smoked salmon wrap, while bigger appetites gravitate to the Chicken Teriyaki Burger, the Organic Handcrafted Tofu Burger, or the Fish or Tempeh Burgers.

Sumptuous also offers a wide selection of delicious freshly baked cakes and handmade slices, and the coffee is a special selection from small-batch roaster Whyld. The drinks menu is as extensive as you’d expect from a fine-food café, with Prana Tea, Sumptuous’ Signature Juice, speciality Ant, Taku and Katsidis smoothies amongst the staple Acai and banana options.

Sumptuous is all about tailoring menus to individual needs and dietary requirements, including allergies, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and paleo, and the chef is always open to suggestions. Chef Leesa’s Sumptuous catering service also offers various service-styles to suit any soiree.

For those who want more, Chef Leesa’s cooking classes, which celebrate her catch cry—food is life, food is fun, and food binds a community—are held regularly and are in high demand.
