Cavalier Bar & Supper

“Cavalier by name and cavalier by nature”

Such is the summation of the latest dining spot and bar to hit Burleigh

Dining on the Gold Coast, as it is anywhere, is an evolving feast with the Coast fast experiencing the diversity that makes dining out such an adventure.

Owned and operated by Adam Haralampou who along with Robert Morward also has the adjacent Justin Lane Cavalier offers a totally different experience.

Its deep leather custom made Chesterfield lounges, well stocked marble bar, silk lampshades and crystal chandeliers are reminiscent of a bygone era, classy, warm and friendly.

Predominantly a supper club, Cavalier is a place at which to drop in anytime after 5pm, meet friends, enjoy a drink and a pre-dinner snack or, if you prefer, stay on for a meal from the tight but exciting menu.

The bar, featuring marble, pressed metal and wood, is another strong feature of the room with a backdrop of bottles and glasses adding to the relaxed vibe.

Naturally enough there is an excellent wine list to go with a vast range of cocktails and spirits.

To nibble on there are oysters, olives and a choice of shared plates – all very tempting. There is pastrami and pickles, pork terrine, zucchini salad, beef short rib and greens to mention but a few. The supper club also serves desserts, cheese and coffee.           

 

                        

Climb the stairs and you find another dining area with the chefs hard at work in the large open kitchen.

Freshly baked sourdough bread, hand churned butter and a blueberry and almond tart straight from the oven all part of the supper club’s tempting menu.

Cavalier is an elegant addition to a Gold Coast dining scene which continues to grow and impress

Pigs & Pints

A warm and friendly bar Pigs & Pints offers tempting delicious little sliders to complement its craft beers and excellent wines and cocktails.

Established by James Brady the casual bar – restaurant is an ideal spot in which to relax and enjoy a drink and something different to eat.

Gourmet sliders on freshly baked miniature buns run the filling gamut from pork belly BLT to ham hock with celeriac and apple while the crispy beef with red pepper is superb. For the fish lovers there is a tasty Thai salmon.

In the evening from 6pm-9pm there are more substantial meals on offer – grazing plates of beef short ribs, ham hock, chicken or fish.

Short Ribs

Sliders

The short ribs are well worth trying, slow cooked for 17 hours, served on a wooden platter accompanied by bowls of Greek salad, spicy red cabbage, horseradish cream, a rich jus and specially made sliced bread, the beef simply melts in the mouth.

While sliders are presented in a wooden box and the grazing plates are large wooden platters – the dinner plates are flat slate tiles which add to the unique ambiance of this popular bar.

Two rooms blend into one through clever use of holes in the separating wall. The bar services both   rooms - the second including comfortable lounges while chunky wooden tables inside and out add warmth.

A casual after work meeting place or

simply a spot to enjoy at any time.

The Little Plate

It’s called “the little plate” and little plates is what you get – albeit small but filled with delicious offerings.

Increasingly popular, this style of shared dining affords an opportunity to experience a variety of dishes.

This is also a little place with half of the diners inside and half of them out – alfresco style.

Bookings, most certainly, are essential at this licensed establishment which offers good wines, unique beers and ciders.  BYO wine is quite acceptable.

The menu is innovative and offers many different taste sensations. Helpful and pleasant staff can assist with your selection of dishes.

The king prawns in ginger, turmeric, nigela seed and fresh coriander sauce are tasty while the Cajun prawn and crab cakes with a smoked artichoke aioli are very different and delicious.

Sticky pork belly is well cooked and comes on a warm salad of beets, fennel, Persian feta and pistachios.

The dessert menu is very tempting and the cannoli filled with lemon curd custard served with mint and a cashew nut pesto is a treat well worth trying.

For the chocolate lovers there is a walnut and chocolate torte, rum ganache and espresso ice cream.

This is a little gem amid an interesting and ever evolving

Burleigh dining scene.
