Andaz Gold Coast restaurants and bars are taking shape ahead of the luxury lifestyle hotel’s anticipated opening in Broadbeach, Queensland, with four dining and drinking concepts designed to attract hotel guests and local visitors.
The 202-room property will become Australia’s first Andaz hotel, introducing Hyatt’s luxury lifestyle brand to the country’s east coast.
The newly detailed food and beverage programme includes Nove Restaurant and Bar, Vista Lounge, Andaz Pool Club and Verde Bar, combining Mediterranean cuisine, locally sourced Australian produce and indoor-outdoor social spaces.
The culinary offering will be overseen by executive chef Matthew Bentley, with Rafael Dias serving as chef de cuisine at Nove.
Nove Restaurant and Bar Brings Mediterranean Dining to Broadbeach
Nove will serve as Andaz Gold Coast’s signature restaurant, combining Mediterranean influences with Australian ingredients and cooking techniques centred around fire.
The menu will include dishes designed for sharing, with a focus on fresh seafood, seasonal produce and contemporary interpretations of Mediterranean favourites.
Among the dishes previewed ahead of opening are koji-glazed Moreton Bay bugs and tableside tiramisu.
Chef de cuisine Rafael Dias will work under the direction of executive chef Matthew Bentley to develop a restaurant intended to appeal to both hotel guests and the local dining market.
The restaurant will offer service throughout the day, including breakfast and evening dining.
Its combination of Mediterranean flavours and regional ingredients reflects the hotel’s wider approach to connecting international hospitality concepts with the Gold Coast’s food culture.
Vista Lounge and Verde Bar Offer Two Different Experiences
Vista Lounge will operate as an informal social space within Andaz Gold Coast, transitioning from daytime coffee and light meals into an evening meeting place.
The venue will feature coffee, matcha, bakery items and casual dining, providing an alternative to the hotel’s main restaurant.
Verde Bar will focus on cocktails and smaller dishes, with a setting designed around the transition from afternoon to evening.
The cocktail bar will take advantage of the Gold Coast’s sunset atmosphere and feature music programming, including vinyl DJs on selected evenings.
Together, the two venues will provide a range of options for guests looking for refreshments, informal meetings or evening drinks without leaving the property.
Both concepts are intended to welcome local residents as well as overnight visitors.

Andaz Pool Club to Feature Eight Private Cabanas
The Andaz Pool Club will introduce an outdoor dining and leisure experience centred around the hotel’s swimming pool and private cabanas.
The venue will offer shared plates, charcoal-grilled meats and Levantine-inspired flatbreads alongside cocktails and other drinks.
Eight private cabanas will be available for reservations, including bookings by visitors who are not staying at the hotel.
This approach positions the pool club as a destination for local residents and day visitors rather than exclusively a facility for registered guests.
The concept forms part of the Andaz brand’s strategy of creating hotels that function as social destinations within their surrounding communities.
The hotel has not yet published a complete confirmed timetable for all pool club services or detailed cabana pricing.
Australian Ingredients Central to Hotel’s Dining Strategy
Andaz Gold Coast’s culinary team expects almost 70% of ingredients used across its food and beverage venues to come from Australian producers.
The sourcing strategy will place particular emphasis on suppliers from Queensland and the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales.
Named suppliers include Miami Fish Market, Australian Bay Lobster, Bread Social Bakery, Nimbin Valley Cheese and Westholme Wagyu.
The approach is intended to connect the hotel’s international culinary concepts with regional producers and the wider Australian food industry.
For travellers, the emphasis on local ingredients could provide an opportunity to experience Australian seafood, meat and dairy products through several different dining formats within the same property.
Andaz Gold Coast Prepares for Opening
Andaz Gold Coast will occupy a location at 16 Casino Drive in Broadbeach, within the wider Star Gold Coast entertainment precinct.
The hotel will feature 202 guestrooms and suites, with interiors inspired by the movement of sunlight across the coast and surrounding hinterland.
Facilities will include wellness and fitness spaces, a swimming pool and the new dining venues.
Australian media have reported a November 14, 2026, opening date, although travellers should confirm available arrival dates directly with Hyatt before making plans.
The hotel’s official website is already accepting reservations and provides details of its accommodation categories, facilities and dining concepts.
With four distinctive restaurants and bars, Andaz Gold Coast is positioning its dining programme as a major part of the guest experience and a potential attraction for the wider Broadbeach community.
