Located in the state of Queensland, Gold Coast has developed a reputation for tourism and relaxation. As a result, many Australian families seek family accommodation in Gold Coast to spend their vacation. Because of its popularity, the cost of living and eating out in Gold Coast is thought to be high, but this is not necessarily the case as there can be a number of delicious dining options at decent prices available.

 

One such option is the Stingray Lounge located on Staghorn Avenue. The highlights at this restaurant include the Stingray Tacos complete with fillings ranging from fish and chicken to pork and king prawns which can be ordered for a mere $3! Another is One50 Public House found in Bundall. On Monday and Tuesday, sandwiches with delicious gourmet fillings can be ordered for only $10 while pizzas can be ordered for half price on Wednesdays. Bellakai, on the other hand, is located at the edge of Gold Coast near the Queensland-New South Wales border, and it offers a variety of meals at affordable prices. Its highlights, undoubtedly, are the variety of vegetarian breakfast options offered at reasonable prices. For around $16 per dish, patrons have an array of choices ranging from green bowls, muesli, mushroom wraps to fresh fruit. Bellakai can be found around the corner from Ocean Art Café and Gallery: just turn to your right, walk past the Oaks Calypso Plaza and Bellaki will be to your left, overlooking the ocean.

 

For those who love Thai food, the Pop Pad Thai down Laver Drive in Robina is ideal for its high in taste and low in cost. This Thai restaurant offers you the option of a $9.90 lunch menu complete with delicious Thai dishes. For those residing in Nerang, it doesn’t get much better than Caffe Chino which offers a breakfast special of a coffee with a bacon and egg roll for only $11! On the other hand, Wahoo’s located in Burleigh Heads, offers great value for money as well, with big chip bowls on offer for $3 as well as an offer of three tacos for $10.

 

Cheap eats in Gold Coast is no myth – if you search long enough, you can find delicious meals for a fraction of the price elsewhere.
