Gold Coast
At a glance
Chapter & Verse Bar and Lounge is a modern Australian dining venue at 158 Ferny Avenue, Surfers Paradise. The all-day bar and lounge is designed for relaxed time together, with a menu that moves from share plates and comfort food to drinks suited to a longer evening. Its format works across lunch, afternoon catch-ups and dinner, making it a flexible option for Gold Coast dining.
The food centres on sharing, with small plates intended for the table rather than a formal multi-course structure. The menu accommodates a range of flavours through the day and night, giving guests scope to keep a meal light or build a more substantial spread. The setting is intimate, with the lounge atmosphere placing equal emphasis on conversation, food and drinks.
The bar menu includes crafted cocktails alongside a broader selection of beverages. Cocktails can suit pre-dinner drinks, a social catch-up or an evening paired with share plates. The combination of food and drinks gives Chapter & Verse a role beyond a conventional restaurant, while the dining menu keeps the venue grounded in modern Australian flavours.
High tea provides a separate experience within the venue. The service follows traditional high tea customs and changes with the season, bringing together sweet and savoury creations from the pastry team. It offers a more structured daytime occasion than the regular all-day menu and suits celebrations, reunions or a leisurely gathering built around tea-time dining.
Chapter & Verse suits diners looking for an adaptable lounge setting rather than a narrowly defined dining occasion. Couples can share a few plates and cocktails, while friends or small groups can use the table-sharing format to order across the menu. The high tea service broadens the venue's appeal for daytime events, while the bar keeps it relevant for later gatherings.
Located in Surfers Paradise, the venue is convenient for visitors seeking a central dining address with food, cocktails and high tea in one setting. Reservations are available for planned visits, and the venue can be contacted directly for booking details or requests connected with a particular occasion.
