Southport guide & map

Southport has taken a change latley and one place that stands out a mile is Daniel Stuarts. A family run licenced cafe, it has a great feel from the minute you walk in, the walls are filled with fine foods and the front cabinet is full of all sorts of goodies most of which are made on site. I have to confess i do go very regularly and so i can definetly recommend visiting breakfast or lunch both menus are great and there not your typical gold coast cafe run of the mill food items, i recommend the salt and pepper calamari salald with a thai lemon dressing yum!!! …

Parking: On Street Service: I arrived early so there was no pressure on staff. Husband and wife both take a hands on approach Presentation: Excellent. As an entree I tried the Portabello Mushrooms a tad too much salt for my liking , however the Blue cheese cream sauce was nothing short of excellent. Topped with a pecorino salad, just brilliant. Main course was a Crispy Pork Belly and for a once a chef new how to cook crackling without breaking a tooth when you bit into it, again excellent. The accompanying wine reduction sauce was excellent. I was nearly tempted never to order another filet steak again. IT WAS THAT GOOD Wine List: Quite comprehensive, although I would like to see a large selections of wine by the glass. I tried the Goundrey Cab Merlot at $7.50 not bad at all, served at room temperature and left breathing for a few hours. It is these little touches that make the difference between a good dining experience and an excellent one. Well done Value for Money: Again this is a Gold Coast on the main drag restaurant. There prices are about right and not too over the top. Main course and entree put me back $44.00 add a few glass's of wine and you are looking at about $55 to $60 per person. Did I consider it good value ! Compared to the rest on the coast YES. Ambience: Mediterranean outdoor alfresco undercover of a huge sail. It was very enjoyable The feel good factor: I was by myself and enjoyed it immensely. The owners make a point to chat and speak to everyone. A most excellent dinning experience. A well deserved 4 glass rating by winedine.co.nz …
