Juju Mermaid Beach

Juju Mermaid Beach is a two-level venue on the Gold Coast Highway, pairing a lounge-style restaurant with a rooftop cocktail bar. The ground-floor dining room presents modern Australian food shaped around seasonal produce, premium cuts and dishes designed for sharing.

The restaurant has a relaxed, polished character. Its lounge-like setting gives the dining room an easygoing feel, while the menu keeps the focus on considered cooking rather than formal presentation. It suits diners looking for a social meal, a longer lunch or an evening gathering built around shared plates and drinks.

Upstairs, the rooftop changes the mood. The open-to-sky setting brings in the coastline and the night sky, with playful cocktails and small bites served above the restaurant. The rooftop works for casual drinks, a pre-dinner stop or an evening spent moving between conversation, cocktails and the changing light around golden hour.

Juju offers a choice of experiences within the same address. The restaurant is better suited to a full meal and a comfortable, lounge-led atmosphere, while the rooftop provides a more informal setting for drinks and light food. The two levels also allow a visit to shift naturally from dining downstairs to cocktails upstairs.

The venue suits couples, friends, work gatherings and groups seeking modern Australian dining without a formal restaurant mood. A private dining room and functions offering add options for occasions that need a more defined setting. The combination of seasonal food, sharing-style dining and an open-air rooftop gives Juju a flexible place in Mermaid Beach's restaurant and bar scene.
