Why it's worth checking out
The Milkman's Daughter sits on Alfred Street at Mermaid Beach, on the central Gold Coast near the popular Nobby Beach area. A well-regarded restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, flavour-packed cooking and good drinks — the kind of stylish yet relaxed spot that's become a genuine favourite for a quality meal or a sociable night out.
The appeal is that combination of accomplished food, a good drinks and cocktail offering and a relaxed, characterful setting in a great Mermaid Beach location, ideal for a special dinner, drinks and shared plates or a relaxed night out.
