Renowned Gold Coast restaurant Allure on Currumbin announces shock closure

A Gold Coast restaurant once ranked second in the country by TripAdvisor has shocked customers this morning by announcing its sudden closure.

ONE of the Gold Coast’s most renowned restaurants has shocked supporters this morning by announcing its sudden closure.

Once ranked the second best restaurant in the country by TripAdvisor, Allure on Currumbin revealed they were closing their doors less than a year after changing ownership.

The restaurant was purchased by now 21-year-old Ryan Humphries in July last year, who at the time expressed his desire to “get it back to the success it had under its original owners” before opening a second restaurant.

The announcement revealed the restaurant will be closing its doors permanently from today.

“Unfortunately, despite all of our fantastic diners and amazing reviews, we simply just did not have sufficient numbers to survive in this tough industry,” it read

“To all of our local and loyal customers we thank you for your continued support.

“Although business was not always the best, seeing the smiles on your faces from tasting the food and enjoying your experience definitely made it all worthwhile.”
