Spanish Restaurants in Gold Coast

If you’re craving Spanish flavours while on the Gold Coast, you’re in luck. There’s a handful of spots serving up everything from traditional tapas to hearty paellas, and each place has its own little twist. You won’t find a ton of Spanish joints here like you would in bigger cities, but the few that do exist are well worth hunting down.

Head over to Mermaid Beach and you’ll find La Mancha - their jamón ibérico and patatas bravas are seriously on point. And if you’re in Broadbeach, Casa Nostra’s sangria is worth sipping on as you nibble through the menu. I’ve always thought tapas menus are great for sharing because you get to try lots of different things without committing to a whole plate. Pro tip: if it’s summer, grab a table outside. The balmy evening air with some Spanish wine just hits differently.

If you’re after something casual and buzzing, check out El Camino Cantina in Surfers Paradise. It’s not purely Spanish, but they do a killer chorizo dish and their vibe is pretty relaxed. Just remember, Spanish dining isn’t about rushing. Take your time, chat over some vino, and soak up the flavours and atmosphere that the Gold Coast’s Spanish spots have to offer.
