Xenia Coolangatta

Xenia sits on Marine Parade at Coolangatta, on the southern Gold Coast near the beach. A much-loved restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, flavour-packed cooking and good drinks — the kind of accomplished, characterful spot that's become a genuine favourite for a relaxed meal or a special night out near the beach.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful setting in a great Coolangatta location near the beachfront, ideal for a special dinner, a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out. A restaurant that's nailed both its cooking and its atmosphere really stands out, and Xenia has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 840 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time at Coolangatta.
