Jafa

Jafa sits on Ferry Road at Southport, a central hub on the northern Gold Coast. A well-regarded restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, flavour-packed cooking — a clear sign of a place delivering both genuinely good food and a great experience in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

The appeal is that combination of accomplished food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful setting in a convenient Southport location, ideal for a special dinner, a relaxed meal or a night out. Building a strong following speaks to a kitchen doing things properly, and Jafa has clearly become a genuine favourite among Gold Coast diners.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 270 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a special night out in Southport.
