Catch Restaurant

At Catch Restaurant in Surfers Paradise, the ocean remains at the heart of the experience. This is modern Australian dining with a coastal spirit — fresh seafood, premium produce and vibrant flavours brought together in a menu designed for relaxed, generous dining.

The opening course sets the tone with oysters served natural with rose balsamic and lemon, or Kilpatrick with smoked bacon and BBQ sauce. Coconut king prawns arrive with kimchi salad, aioli and coriander, while house-made spanner crab fish cakes bring herb mayo, pickled onion and lemon to the table. For something simple, ciabatta comes with French salted butter and balsamic glaze, or warm garlic bread makes an easy start.

The ocean takes centre stage through the mains, from baked barramundi glazed with sesame, miso and tamari, alongside cauliflower cream, yuzu and grilled shallots, to Tasmanian salmon with sweet potato, pickled onion, lemon and herb mayo. For a true centrepiece, the Western Australian half-tail lobster Thermidor is served with asparagus, steamed rice and lemon. And when sharing is the order of the day, the seafood platter brings together oysters, spanner crab cakes, coconut prawns, grilled barramundi and salt and pepper squid with fries, salad, lemon and sauces.

Beyond the seafood, the menu moves effortlessly between the grill and the kitchen. Fresh spaghetti combines squid, prawns, chorizo, garlic butter and squid ink, while house-made potato gnocchi is paired with creamy semi-dried tomato sauce, spinach, crispy shallots, parmesan and black pepper. Chargrilled crispy pork belly meets sweet potato purée, spiced cabbage, yuzu and coriander, while chargrilled chicken is finished with chimichurri, roasted cauliflower rice and cucumber mint yoghurt.

For the grill, premium Australian beef takes the spotlight with a 300g Five Founders Scotch Fillet and 300g Wagyu Rump Cap MBS7+, both served with potato galette and a choice of Béarnaise or red wine jus. Sides of truffle mash, seasonal vegetables, fries with aioli and sweet potato fries with chipotle aioli are made for sharing.

Dessert brings a playful finish. Brûlée custard tart meets rhubarb and raspberry, chocolate fondant is paired with salted caramel cream and mandarin, and spiced apple petit tacos combine cinnamon apples, buttered almond crumble and vanilla ice cream. For a more savoury finale, a selection of triple cream brie, mature cheddar and blue cheese is served with dried pear, local honeycomb and crisp breads.

With the ocean setting the mood and the menu moving from fresh seafood to premium grill and indulgent desserts, Catch is made for settling in, sharing a few plates and enjoying the best of relaxed coastal dining in the heart of Surfers Paradise.
