Another day, another new restaurant and bar to try - it's a tough life. This time on my list was
The Cuban at Oracle Boulevard in Broadbeach, which offers a cuba style bar and lounge dining experience.
Broadbeach is fast becoming a social hub, with many new restaurants and bars having opened recently, and it is certainly my place of choice on the Gold Coast for dining and socialising.
The Cuban has been open just a couple of weeks but has been inundated with customers so far, due to its sultry feel, excellent food and friendly service.
I really love the Oracle Boulevard, It is a great place to socialise and meet friends during the day or evening and has a wonderful buzz and atmosphere.
As you would expect, given the style and name, The Cuban has a sexy and sultry feel to it (the attractive staff may have had something to do with this) - the decor is tastefully done to compliment this, with reds and blacks, leather seating and mood lighting.
The music is funky and cool and the food was awesome - I had the Chicken and Avocado Burger with lettuce, tomato and onion, served with fries which was just $14.90 and a big portion.
Yum
They have a great menu with a good mix of food, and all at reasonable prices too. Plus my burger and fries took about 20 minutes to come out, which shows that it is being made and cooked from fresh.
What takes your fancy?
I went in for lunch on an unusual rainy day, so it was fairly quiet. The staff were really friendly, and I think it's a sign of a good team, that even when they don't have many covers, the service staff still look busy and are all working hard.
I have only been in during the day but I expect that at night it transforms in to a lively social venue, where the trendy and fabulous meet for cocktails and tapas. I know that I will certainly be going back on the weekend and evening now I know what's on offer.
The Bar Area
It has a large outdoor seating area as well as intimate seating inside, so ideal for any kind of weather. Plus most of the outdoor seating is located in a courtyard area so you get an alfresco dining experience, rather than sitting roadside like many of the Gold Coast restaurants.
Certainly worth a visit for lunch, dinner or a few drinks - I really like this place, sometimes you just like somewhere and can't put your finger on why and that's what I felt about here - I will definitely be back soon, it is now on my list of favourite places in Broadbeach.
