One of the city’s most popular swanky restaurants has decided to delve into another culinary timeslot.
Nineteen at The Star has dished up cleverly crafted cuisine for lunch and dinner since opening and the venue with impressive views of the Gold Coast skyline, even opened recently for breakfast to both in-house guests and locals.
The temperature in the kitchen has been turned up another notch with the announcement of a new Sunday brunch kicking off on 18th October.
“l am from Virginia and Southern Americans take their Sunday brunch very, very seriously. I have crafted a menu that pays homage to my home state in the US, but also using the best local Queensland produce available to create our very own and unique dishes at our Sunday brunch,” said Nineteen at The Star’s Executive Chef Uday Huja.
GOLD COAST’S MOST STUNNING RESTAURANT TRANSFORMATIONS
The luxe Sunday Brunch menu features souffle pancakes served with seasonal berries, chantilly cream with maple syrup and Provencal ratatouille tarts with goats’ cheese and poached egg.
For savoury lovers, a blue swimmer crab omelette is also on offer. An ‘oyster journey’ also graces the menu with guests having the opportunity to sample the best oysters sourced from three different regions of the New South Wales coastline and Moreton Bay Bugs with a garlic crumb.
WHERE SIN CITY NIGHTCLUB WILL REOPEN
“I am thrilled to deliver Nineteen at The Star’s first brunch menu. Together with my culinary team, we have worked hard to reimagine the brunch experience and explore beyond what is considered standard Sunday fare. It is our passion to be known as providing the best Sunday brunch in the city,” said Chef Uday Huja.
‘FUN’ NEW RESTAURANT TO REPLACE CLOSED BROADBEACH EATERY
Kicking off at 11am every Sunday, bloody Mary’s and mimosas are on offer for diners and an option for guests to pair their brunch with a premium two-hour champagne package of Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot or Ruinart Champagne. Cheers to that!
The Brunch menu is also set to offer some of Nineteen at The Star’s dishes from their charcoal oven and grill including some of the most popular dishes including Ocean Trout, served on a maple syrup-infused cedar wood plank, the top range 400g 9+ MBS Wagyu Sirloin ‘Kiwami’ and a 300g Rare to Rare Slow Roast Prime Rib.
“The team at Nineteen at The Star works closely with farmers and primary producers to source premium and sustainable produce and that has enabled us to push the boundaries when it came to crafting our launch menu,” explained Executive Chef Uday Huja.
“This brunch menu continues to demonstrate our passion and commitment to presenting produce with finesse, flair and a deep respect for nature’s bounty.”
Each week the brunch will also feature at DJ playing funky and chilled tunes.
After a long brunch, those who are keen to continue their Sunday session could be in luck. A package that includes pool entry and day bed hire at the rooftop venue is also mooted to be announced very soon. Cheers to that!
Brunch starts at 11am every Sunday from 18th October. Bookings are essential and can be made HERE.
SOCIAL SPOTLIGHT: GAIA at HOTA
UK artist Luke Jerram is internationally known for his creation GAIA. Home of the Arts secured his installation, the first time it has appeared on the East Coast of Australia. The seven-metre wide detailed replica of the Earth as viewed from space is currently suspended above the outdoor stage at HOTA.
A series of events has been based around his creation and has been so popular that the installation is staying a little longer on the Gold Coast.
You have until 8pm on Wednesday 14th October to experience GAIA. Don’t miss observing this unique installation, just another jewel in the crown for cultural events on the Gold Coast.
HOSPITALITY HALL
Corporate and locals have been crying out for some of our top Gold Coast restaurants to open their venues on Monday and Tuesdays. Due to Jobkeeper and staff shortages, many are only operating five days and nights a week.
The wishes for more venues to open on Monday and Tuesday might be dead in the water already as whispers are circulating about many venues reducing their opening hours even further. The reason is to keep within the threshold of being able to prove the 30% reduction in turnover to still obtain Jobkeeper benefits provided by the Government to keep their staff.
Very cheeky and a practice that could cost these restaurants much more in the long term once the tax office comes knocking!
