House Smoked Salmon Plate @ Guglhupf
This European style cafe and bakery creates wonderful baked goods, salads, sandwiches and a perfect Sunday brunch.

Guglhupf Café is beautifully designed with attention to every detail, from art and lighting to the signature outdoor patio. Don't miss the House Smoked Salmon Plate with Capers and Homemade Rustic Bread.

Prawns with Lamb Cutlets  @ Pasha's Turkish Restaurant
Pasha’s, Queensland’s oldest Middle Eastern restaurant, is owned and run by Ertan Mustafa, whose previous restaurant, Pasha’s in Newtown, Sydney, was the first Turkish restaurant in Australia. Ertan tells us that he grew up in Cyprus on a farm overlooking the beach, complete with livestock for dairy and meat, olive trees for oil, and a mill to make flour for family and guests. The Prawns with Lamb Cutlets at Pasha’s gives a great selection of succulent seafood and meat: oven-baked king prawns and lamb marinated and char-grilled to carry the smoky flavors of the open hearth. The meat is served simply with perfectly steamed veggies and pilaf cooked by traditional methods: washed, roasted with gluten-free noodles in olive oil before cooking in salted water. It’s easy to understand why most of Pasha’s business comes from repeat customers. Once you taste Ertan’s food, it’s difficult not to return.

Smoking Hot Burger @ Boom Boom Burger Bar
Owned by seasoned restaurateurs Meyjitte Boughenout, former owner of Absynthe French Restaurant, and Chef Arnaud Ollivier, Boom Boom raises the bar on the already hot Gold Coast burger scene. If Michelin stars could be awarded to dishes, rather than restaurants, the Smoking Hot Burger would win it. It’s a dish ‘you’d travel 20 kilometres out of your way to eat’. Mystically sexy, juicy and brimming with seductive taste, this burger could be summed up in one word: Superlative! Serious in flavour, the burger carries the depth of mushroom umami, the freshness of cucumber and spinach contrasting with a lingering smokiness of organic grain-fed 150 day aged beef laced with the chef’s signature sauce, served on a house made brioche bun. Served beneath a glass cloche which, when lifted, releases a haze of smoke from the burger, this is food as performance, full of drama as well as playfulness.

The Pod Special Organic Açai Bowl  @ The Cardamom Pod
In a climate that boasts 300 days of sunshine each year, healthy eating is a major food trend on the Gold Coast. Although we have a tendency to "work hard and play hard," V (vegetarian), GF (gluten-free) and O (organic) are symbols commonly found on our menus. The Cardamom Pod shows off vegetarian cuisine at its best. Dine al fresco overlooking the park on delicious fresh food with vibrant colors and in a gorgeous presentation. For a weekend breakfast packed with goodness, eat the colors of the rainbow in the Pod Special Organic Açai Bowl. It's packed with organic açai with gluten-free macadamia and apricot granola, activated nuts, assorted seeds, buckinis, mango crème and fresh fruit medley. The dish comes with a tropical fruit and cacao ball skewer and super-greens mousse. What a brilliant start to the day

Seafood Platter @ Currumbin Vikings Surf Life Saving Club
Since Queensland’s first surf club was established at Tweed-Coolangatta in 1911, surf clubs have held iconic status. For generations, volunteer surf lifesavers have ensured our safety by patrolling our beaches. Meanwhile, surf clubs have held their own, providing food and entertainment with unsurpassed views of the coastline. Located on Elephant Rock on the beautiful Currumbin Beach, Currumbin Vikings (founded in 1918) is among our most highly regarded surf clubs, enjoying spectacular views up the coast, waves crashing beneath you as you dine on a platter of fresh and cooked seafood.

Kasspatzle @ Murrhardter Hof
The kässpätzle (Swabian noodles with cheese) at Murrhardter Hof enjoy a fabulous reputation within the normally sceptical Stuttgart community. Murrhardter Hof cooks this amazing dish perfectly. They start with their homemade spätzle and finish with perfect kässpätzle, crisp on the outside while remaining soft on the inside. If you have the chance to watch a chef scraping some spätzle, you will know why. You need an instinctive feeling and a lot of passion to do this work right. The perfect, creamy kässpätzle also requires a delicious cheese. At Murrhardter Hof, they add the perfect amount to the spätzle, so it sticks perfectly but is not too cheesy. As a side, we recommend the classical mixed salad.

Kebab @ Alaturka
Alaturka serves simply the best kebab in Stuttgart and maybe the best in Germany. Pack your patience, because you will have to queue for about 30 minutes minimum. It is worth every minute. You will get a kebab unlike any other you ever tasted. The owner of this small gem bakes the fluffy bread every day with passion. There is only one skewer daily. When it’s gone, it’s gone. You will also get delicious grilled vegetables like broccoli, carrots, zucchini, eggplants and onions with your kebab. Creamy yogurt sauce, fresh arugula and parsley complete this perfect dish. You also have to try the crispy sigara börek, a stuffed cheese pastry, with garlic yogurt.

Pie Floater @ Bakery on O'Connell
Bakery on O'Connell is an institution in Adelaide, an award-winning 24/7 SA owned bakery and home of SA's famed Pie Floater. Our state's most iconic food, the Pie Floater is recognized as a South Australian Heritage Icon by the National Trust of Australia. I stuck with the basics and got the original, a traditional meat pie with tomato sauce. The meat pie was turned upside down and submerged within a pool of green pea soup. The tomato sauce added an extra layer of sweetness and punch and the peas were seasoned well. The hidden pie was tasty with a piping hot center of meat filling. The bakery is busy around the clock and pumps out more than 200 products on site throughout the day, so you're always guaranteed freshly baked goodies. Pick from savory pastries, quiches and breads to sweet treats of cakes, slices and doughnuts.

Full English  @ Cumulus Inc.
Cumulus Inc. is a foodie haven on bustling and stylish Flinders Lane in the Melbourne CBD. The studio vibe attracts the professionals, along with the standout food on offer. The Full English breakfast is a clever dish with quintessential English elements on the plate; brought together with balance of flavor and textures. The Full English consists of farmhouse slab bacon, blood sausage on toast, fried eggs and smoked tomato. What else could you require for a hearty breakfast? The blood sausage is house made and suitably moist, while the thick-cut country-style bacon is indulgent. This is smoky rustic bliss in a breakfast.

Bougatsa @ Trela Plein
At Trela Plein, a Greek cafe in the up-and-coming Spaarndammerbuurt, you can pick up a slice of bougatsa for just a couple of euros. Essentially, it’s a Greek pastry, stuffed with anything from spinach and feta to minced beef – there’s even a sweet version filled with a mild egg custard, a bit like crème pâtissière. Run by a burly-looking bearded Greek guy, Alex is the sweetest person you’ll meet in Amsterdam.
