Penguins Restaurant
Gold Coast
At a glance
Penguins Restaurant is a family-friendly restaurant and bar at Paradise Resort, located on Ferny Avenue in Surfers Paradise. The setting is designed around relaxed resort dining, with an indoor play area for toddlers and a jungle gym positioned just outside the restaurant. The arrangement allows children to stay occupied while parents enjoy a chef-prepared meal in a casual holiday setting.
The menu brings together Australian and international-style food across breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dinner includes hearty mains, salads and familiar family dishes, while the children’s menu provides separate choices for younger diners. Lunch is offered seasonally and includes lighter meals, casual plates and children’s selections. Takeaway is also available at lunch and dinner, giving resort guests another way to fit meals around the day’s activities.
Breakfast combines a continental buffet with a made-to-order menu. The buffet includes baked pastries, breads, fruit, yoghurt, cereals, cold meats and cheeses, while made-to-order choices cover familiar breakfast favourites. Breakfast is intended to suit both families looking for a quick start and diners who prefer a more substantial morning meal.
The atmosphere is centred on convenience and family comfort rather than formal dining. The restaurant’s play facilities make it suited to parents with toddlers and young children, while the bar adds a place for adults to enjoy drinks alongside a meal. The menu’s broad approach also works for mixed groups, with children’s dishes sitting alongside more substantial restaurant fare.
Penguins Restaurant forms part of the Paradise Resort dining experience in the Gold Coast, making it particularly practical for families staying onsite. It suits resort guests who want meals close to accommodation, families planning around children’s activities, and groups seeking a straightforward place for breakfast or dinner. The combination of indoor play, an outdoor jungle gym and flexible meal formats gives the venue a distinctly family-oriented character.
