Las Palmas

Palm Beach

Las Palmas is a stunning Latin American restaurant and bar with sea views, entered via a pink staircase off the Gold Coast Highway in Palm Beach.

Tucked away behind the Palm Beach Surf Club, Las Palmas, is perched above a surf shop. Diners can take a seat in the gorgeous pink retro California-inspired dining room or on the wraparound balcony with views over the beach.

There's nothing rustic about the menu at Las Palmas, which takes the traditional flavours of Latin America and elevates them to another level, using fresh local produce with a creative twist.

Dishes on the menu are listed in 'from the sea', 'from the land', and 'from the earth' (plant-based), and, for those who can't decide or want to sample the best of each, there's a highly-recommended chef's menu for $60*, featuring 7 delectable dishes.

For dessert it's hard to go past the homemade churros with chocolate ganache, but other sweet temptations include roasted pineapple infused in marjoram syrup, passion fruit mascarpone, plum, coco crumb or flan (caramel custard, dulce de leche whipped caramel cream).

Las Palmas is also a to spot to enjoy a cocktail or two, with creative house cocktails including Tropical Storm (lime, coconut, pineapple, egg white, dark rum, light rum, green chartreuse, peychaud's), Tiki Bastard (pineapple, basil, coconut, orgeat, lime, amaretto, light rum, dark rum) and Le Peche Mode (spiced peach puree, agave, lime, tequila reposado, mezcal). There' also an impressive wine list that is a match for the food.
