The Undercurrent 50 Shiraz Persian Restaurant + Bar 52 Sanctuary Cove While last summer was one of the most dismal that I can recall, we start 2023 with fresh optimism for a sunny year ahead. This positivity carries through to the amazing business owners who have invested in our evolving city. Those who were crazy enough to setup shop in the past two years are certainly reaping the benefits now. This edition is bursting with Gold Coast business' including the dreamy cafes enticing you to delight in their creative menus, the deluxe spas making you (and your skin!) feel like a queen, the amazing story of two mates, a flood and a brewery, the popular American bar and grill that invented 'happy hour' opened in Surfers and after all that chat, how to give your liver the love it deserves! So take a minute, relax and read some of our favourite local stories… P.S. Don't forget to subscribe to our e-newsletter (with even more Gold Coast stories!) and win a pretty awesome prize on page 46!
