The Exhibitionist Bar

Perched atop the HOTA Gallery, The Exhibitionist Bar looks out across the Gold Coast and the Hinterland with a cinematic sweep. It's a sophisticated hideaway for handcrafted creations, its revolving menu taking cues from major art exhibitions to keep each visit feeling fresh and playful.

The kitchen matches the view through gourmet bar food that blends coastal purity, Asian brightness, and European comfort. Think oysters served natural or with mignonette, Hervey Bay cuttlefish glossed in scorched coconut milk and finger lime, or crunchy okonomiyaki onion rings.

For a midday meal, a signature sandwich layers peanut-fried chicken with Thai sweet chilli ham and green papaya salad, alongside options like sweet and sour guo bao rou pork or a chilled soba noodle chicken salad.

Wood-fired cravings are met by Peking duck pizza with hoisin, cucumber, and green onion, or a Margherita crowned with fior di latte, basil, and olive oil.

Settle in for a sunlit lunch, sample something inspired, and let the skyline do the talking!
