Lucia Tapas Garden

Lucia Tapas Garden is a Spanish restaurant and bar at 1/445 Golden Four Drive in Tugun, offering a relaxed setting for tapas, drinks and shared dining. The venue brings Spanish-inspired food and hospitality to the southern Gold Coast, with a choice of an outdoor garden courtyard or a cosy indoor dining room.

The menu centres on hot and cold tapas designed for sharing, alongside share-style paella and hand-crafted cocktails. The format suits a casual meal built around several plates, as well as a longer Spanish-style feast with friends or family. The food and drinks can also provide a setting for a relaxed lunch, an evening meal or sunset drinks.

Outdoor dining is a defining part of the venue. The sun-filled courtyard uses warm colours and lush greenery to create a garden atmosphere, giving the restaurant a distinct change of pace from the surrounding Tugun streets. The spacious sundeck is suited to daytime dining and drinks, while the indoor room offers a more intimate option when a quieter restaurant setting is preferred.

Lucia Tapas Garden has a social style shaped by shared plates and communal dining. Small groups can order across the menu and build a meal around a range of tapas, while paella provides a larger centrepiece for the table. The cocktail offering adds a bar element, making the venue suitable for an early evening drink as well as dinner.

The restaurant is located in Tugun, with Coolangatta and Currumbin nearby. Its combination of Spanish food, cocktails, garden seating and an inviting indoor room gives the venue flexibility across different occasions. Lucia Tapas Garden also provides spaces for functions, including corporate events, engagement celebrations and birthday gatherings, making the venue relevant for both informal meals and organised group occasions.
