Rick Shores

Rick Shores is a beachfront restaurant on Goodwin Terrace in Burleigh Heads, pairing fresh Pan-Asian flavours with the atmosphere of the coast. The dining room sits directly beside the shoreline, with ocean views, natural light and the sound of waves shaping the experience. It offers a relaxed setting for meals that place the beach and the Gold Coast landscape at the centre.

The menu draws on Australian produce, including ingredients that are grown, caught and raised locally, while taking inspiration from across Asia. Dishes are designed for sharing, making the restaurant well suited to social dining rather than a formal, course-by-course occasion. The style is fresh and produce-focused, with food intended to complement the sea air and easy pace of Burleigh Heads.

Rick Shores suits long lunches, relaxed dinners, celebrations and occasions that call for a coastal backdrop. The restaurant also accommodates private dining, parties, corporate events and larger functions, with options for seated meals, canapés, cocktail events and exclusive venue hire. Its beachside position gives group occasions a clear sense of place without separating them from the surrounding landscape.

The patio provides an outdoor option close to the water, while the interior offers a more sheltered setting with views towards the beach. Both spaces support the restaurant’s informal, shared-dining character. The location works particularly well for combining a meal with time around Burleigh Beach, whether the occasion is a casual gathering or a more planned celebration.

Located at 3/43 Goodwin Terrace, Rick Shores is part of Burleigh Heads’ coastal dining strip. The venue’s menu, setting and event spaces make it a suitable choice for diners seeking Pan-Asian food in an oceanfront environment, as well as groups planning a celebration or private function.
