The North Room
If you are serious about gastronomical experience you can't skip this hidden secret. Tucked away from touristy or main areas the restaurent caters mostly for 'those in the knows' and both times I've seen it filled with locals, ourself included. It's a family owned restaurent, very homely ambience that focus on service and quality of food.
I have tried restaurents across the world, 5* to 1* and i dont' like to simply compare and rank them cuz each offers different niche at different price point and target audience. North room is what I consider to be down to earth friendly cosy hideaway, like being invited to your best friend's home to enjoy a laid back and comfortable degustation menu with immaculate presentation.
You won't find ala-carte menu with the usuals, instead menu is by tasting course, "snacks" + 3 or 4 main dish to be shared which is not something you find in other places. Chef dedicates his creativity and passion for each dish, with imagination and challenges where you are taken back. Each dish has a very scandinavian reminience reminding me of my Nordic travels. Service is not pushy, not rushed but just right speed, and very friendly.
Here in Gold Coast I struggle to find restaurent that focus on quality delivery, and North Room is definitely one of rare establishments that striked my passion for food.
