We’ve come down to surfers for the weekend and picked this spot for breakfast and it was the best coffeeI’ve had since we’ve been in Aussie. The service was amazing and super friendly, and the food was out quickly and came out all together, it was well presented and absolutely delicious. Thanks for an amazing experience!! We will highly recommend and we will be back!

Landed here for breakfast and was a nice experience. The restaurant is positioned right across from the beach which adds to its vibe. The service was fairly quick, and the waitresses were super friendly. Lastly, the food was delicious, flavourful and the portions were just right for us.

Excellent food, best eggs Benedict I’ve EVER had. Huge portions definately leaving full and extremely satisfied. Prices were so reasonable for the quality and service received. The Gold Coast iced tea was to die for and a must to try. You’re crazy if you don’t stop and eat. Staff were amazing and super friendly and the whole place buzzed. Love love love. Definately coming back for more.

Huge portions of sweet potato chips and fries for what we paid for! The live music was nice. Colouring pencils and papers were provided for kids. We had the pork ribs which were delicious. The half a kilo of chicken wings weren't too bad either. Overall it was a nice dinner.

Elston Restaurant is a fantastic spot located right near Surfers Paradise, offering a relaxing atmosphere with great views of the ocean. The menu is diverse, with something for everyone, ranging from fresh seafood to gourmet burgers. Their dishes are well-prepared, with fresh, local ingredients being a standout. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the warm and laid-back vibe of the place. It’s the perfect location for a casual meal or drinks after a day at the beach, and their outdoor seating area is great for enjoying the coastal breeze. Prices are reasonable considering the prime location, and the portions are generous. Whether you're looking for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Elston delivers an excellent dining experience. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Surfers Paradise! Heads up,parking is a nightmare

Stopped here for fresh drinks on a sunny afternoon in GC. Warm and friendly greetings invited us to seats overlooking the beach road. This is a great location for a quick stop or even a bigger sit-down meal.

Love the food here. Big serving and tasty! Service is pretty good. This is one of our go to place for brunch in Surfers Paradise. My fave and recommended is their Chorizo Roll!

Nice little café by the beach at surfers paradise - had a coffee (cappuccino) and a juice with some banana bread. Great for a pick me up in the morning for a decent view of the water, as well as a bit of relaxation. QR codes on the counter too in case you don’t want to order at the counter for whatever reason as well
