Little Truffle

A fine-dining room and bar on the Gold Coast Highway at Mermaid Beach, working a modern menu built around wine pairing and seasonal produce. Dinner runs Monday to Saturday with lunch added on Fridays and Saturdays; Sundays are dark. The kitchen, led by chef Daniel Ridgeway, holds hats from both the Australian Good Food & Travel Guide and the Good Food Guide Queensland, and the room has been named among the coast's better fine-dining options. Service is structured, with a two-hour seating window on busier evenings, and booking is essential. It reads as a quieter counterpoint to the strip's more casual beachfront dining.
