Meltemi Mediterrania Broadbeach

Meltemi Mediterrania brings the flavours of the wider Mediterranean to Albert Avenue in Broadbeach, with a menu shaped by the coastal food traditions of Greece, Lebanon, Turkey, Cyprus, Spain, southern Italy and Morocco. The approach is firmly made for sharing, moving from breads, dips and small plates through to larger dishes and rotisserie cooking. Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and time-honoured techniques sit alongside a more contemporary presentation, giving the restaurant a broad Mediterranean focus rather than confining it to one national cuisine.

The menu is well suited to settling in with a group and ordering across the table. Shared options include Muhammara, taramasalata, Flaming Saganaki, Spanish octopus and King Prawn Saltimbocca, while larger plates include chicken shawarma served from the skewer, spit-roasted Anatolian lamb and Spanish brocheta. There are also vegetarian choices such as mushroom spanakorizo and rotisserie pumpkin with pearl couscous, za’atar, pine nuts and whipped feta. For dessert, the offering includes Greek loukoumades, pistachio baklava and Basque cheesecake. Set menus are available for a minimum of two people, including The Aegean Table, The Tasting Odyssey and Meltemi Coastal Indulgence.

Drinks continue the Mediterranean theme, with Greek ouzo and mastiha, regional wines, Greek dry rosé, prosecco, spritzes and cocktails. The restaurant also offers non-alcoholic drinks, coffee and mocktails, making it easier for a mixed group to find something suitable. Its weekday Coastal Lunch is built around an Aperol or Limoncello spritz, a shared meze board and a choice of main, with options including Lebanese spit roast chicken, king prawn bucatini and rotisserie pumpkin. It is positioned as a relaxed midweek choice for business lunches and catch-ups, while the broader offering is designed for long lunches and lively evenings.

Meltemi is the latest venue from the team behind Xenia’s Greek restaurants in Main Beach and Coolangatta. The restaurant describes this as an expansion beyond Greece, while retaining a strong connection to traditional cooking and shared dining. In practical terms, it suits couples who enjoy ordering several plates, groups planning a celebratory meal or function, and families—the kids menu includes meals served with ice cream. With events, functions and themed experiences also part of the offering, Meltemi provides a flexible option for a Mediterranean-inspired meal in the heart of Broadbeach.
