Madame Za, Rydges Gold Coast Airport

THE NEW MODERN ASIAN BUFFET THAT’S SO FLY!

Nothing about Madame Za’s sophisticated buffet is plane.

Come on admit it – we all adore a buffet, our love running so deep that lining up from Mermaid to Miami for endless potato skins, pasta and soft serve at Sizzler was a 90s ritual #RipCheeseBread. Thankfully, buffets have come a loooong way since yesteryear, as demonstrated by local modern Asian eats sensation, Madame Za. Ditching the a-la-carte dinner menu for a fancy buffet experience, this taste-bud-titillator not only offers a fresh and flavoursome spread, but an elegant dining experience to boot. This means no more agonising over which delectable dish to order, and we won’t judge if the number of times you refill your plate hits double digits coz #same.

Located next to the Gold Coast Airport terminal at Rydges Hotel and a short stroll from Kirra Beach, Madame Za has acquired quite the loyal following and duh, of course she has. Serving up authentic traditional flavours of Asian cuisine spiked with a modern twist, the food is all that and a bag of ch...opsticks.

A destination in its own right, if you haven’t yet experienced Madame Za’s culinary sorcery, the new buffet is the perfect excuse to remedy this. Offering indoor and outdoor dining, there is also a private room available for small groups which yay, we now know where we’re going for our next bday soiree. Or if you’re more of a breakfast enthusiast, you’re in luck as there’s also a brekkie buffet so delicious and satisfying, there’ll be no need for lunch… or dinner.

Touting a buffet experience that tastes like no other, we’re pleased to confirm that there’s no sign of Pinocchio here. This certainly comes as no surprise as Head Chef Joel Byant is still in the driver’s seat, the ideal custodian of such an epic eats experience. Joel knows a thing or two about refined, fresh and flavour-rich cuisine, with a resume including

Seaduction in Surfers Paradise, Oskars on Burleigh and Songbirds Rainforest Retreat on Mt Tamborine. His creations at Madame Za encapsulate the bold flavour of Asian street food, packing a punch of flavour with each and every bite. You could start your journey with crunchy spring rolls, followed by insanely good Asian soups and an epic salad bar. Leave room for a delectable range of exotic curries from India to Thailand and complete your feast with all your favourite authentic stirfries (featuring seafood on weekends).

Your peepers are also in for a treat, firstly because the food looks as sublime as it tastes and secondly, the fit out is truly a sight to behold. Tasteful and subtle décor marries modern accents and traditional Asian culture with class and finesse. Everything from the stunning wall mural of Madame herself, to the striking ceiling design adorned with greenery and Chinese flowers oozes effortless sophistication. The bar area is equally ambient, summonsing you to settle in for a pre or post dinner cocktail, and LBH, it’s not exactly a hard sell.

So for the famished foodies, peckish pals, date night diners, or salivating small groups, Madame Za and her mouth-watering new buffet are the true definition of a triple threat; tasteful, tasty and #trending.
