Cavalier Bar & Supper



The new Italian Supper Room at Cavalier gives the Gold Coast an elegant and delightful venue for late night dining.



The restaurant-bar, with its very Italian feel, offers a smart complement to the downstairs section where patrons can enjoy a drink as well as tapas dining.

Upstairs one is greeted by glistening chandeliers, Chesterfield style leather seating, candle lit tables and a wall featuring framed black and white Italian photographs .Chefs are busy in an open kitchen which has a bar front and comfortable stools.


Open Wednesday to Sunday from 5pm until late

 the upstairs Italian Supper Room offers an 

excellent and well priced menu.

From a varied selection of entrees;
Cured Salmon
  • the house cured salmon with lemon vinaigrette, radish and almond crumbs is excellent and has a pleasant texture.
  • The Wagyu cap
    carpaccio with truffle oil, pecorino and garlic chips is superb
  • An Amalfi salad, baby lettuce, orange segment, fennel and red wine vinaigrette, is a good lead in to the mains.

Oven baked market fish with Coffin Bay clams, crunchy asparagus and dill is light and  perfectly cooked while the wild rabbit and red wine ragu with tortiglioni and grano pandano is a more substantial offering.


The Edge, a 2012 Pinot Noir, from Marlborough New Zealand, and a 2012 Coates Organic Chardonay from the Adelaide Hills South Australia work well with the dishes.

Desserts are both tempting and interesting.
Pistachio and olive oil cake

  • The pistachio and olive oil cake with vanilla thyme panna cotta and roast strawberries is well worth a try 
  • while the fresh marinated strawberries with limoncello and berry granite is light and refreshing.





This is a great addition to both Burleigh and the Gold Coast.
