IT’S A WINTERFUL LIFE AT SANCTUARY COVE Icy nothing but delectable winter dining.
A
hh winter, we have big love for you. We swap kombucha and salads for cab sav and actual food, and don our luxe coats for a boujee fix. Speaking of fancy feels, our fave highbrow local dining and retail precinct, Sanctuary Cove, is turning up the heat with special signature dishes to celebrate winter. Plus, they’re going all out and giving away five $200 Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Gift Cards. Tell us more we hear you say? Don’t mind if we do…. PABLITO’S MEXICAN CUISINE AND TEQUILARIA The heat is well and truly on this winter at new kid on the block, Pablito’s Mexican Cuisine and Tequilaria. The authentic eats, cocktails and venue fit out are next level #instagood and we can’t get enough. For the ultimate winter indulgence, the Spiced Fresh Fish Taco with guacamole, chipotle, slaw and corn salsa washed down with a Chilli Margarita is calling your name. And ours…. DRAGON COVE CHINESE RESTAURANT Trying to choose a meal here is like trying to decide between binging Ozark or Stranger Things – really hard…but you can’t go wrong. The world-class chefs are famous for their 16 | insidegoldcoast.com.au
authentic Cantonese chow and if you get past the Peking Duck (we never can…), warm up with the Beijing Beef Julienne with oriental sauce and green veg. Pair it with a glass (or two…definitely two) of red for instant winter warmer feels. IOESCO CUCINA For us, winter equals guilt-free comfort carbo loading, and no-one does authentic pastas and contemporary interpretations of Napoli cuisine quite like Ioesco Cucina. The Steak Primavera topped with a salsa of avocado and bruschetta tomato on a bed of mash potato, with a glass of Side Step Shiraz is destined to float your boat (or your yacht – we are at Sanctuary Cove after all). Bellissima!
