Charlie’s Cafe and Bar

It's hard to believe that Charlie's Cafe and Bar started out as a humble sandwich shop back in 1976. A friendly face in Surfers Paradise every day of the week, Charlie's is the finest Aussie mate you could hope for.

From cosy sandwich shop to full-scale diner, Charlie's has seen a huge transformation over the past 35 years. Now located in Cavill Mall, their spacious, friendly and communal dining room draws in locals and travellers from near and far. It's hard to resist the happy buzz that emanates from Charlie's; you always know you're in for a good time with a top group of mates.

What's more, they serve pretty much everything your heart desires. Packed with cheesy pizzas, luscious pasta, nutritious salads and towering burgers, this menu is Western grub at its finest. The pizzas are quite simply to die for with all the classic toppings as well as some of Charlie's own signatures (satay chicken, anyone?) as are the classic range of Italian pastas that includes seafood spaghetti, mushroom risotto and bolognese linguine.

Finally, what would a Western menu be without a stellar range of mains? We're talking tender lamb shank with mashed potato, pulled pork chicken parmigiana, battered barramundi and, of course, specialty steaks with a range of delicious sauces and toppers. Pre-empting all cravings that walk through their door, Charlie's has got your hearty supper covered.
