Welcome to the first blog post on GC Food Guide!

The idea for this website came one day after moving back to the Gold Coast from Melbourne.  Most Melbournians own or at least are familiar with the hugely popular Cheap Eats and Good Food Guide books that are published annually by the Age. These food guide books help you to uncover some fantastic dining venues hidden down alley ways, behing garbage bins and make you visit places you normally wouldn’t go near.

After moving back to the Gold Coast I tried to find something similar to tell me where to find the best restaurants (both cheap and fine dining) were and the only book I could find one published by the Courier Mail which covered Brisbane with only a few of the top fine dining restaurants on the Gold Coast featured.

Flicking through the local newspapers I soon discovered that a lot of the ‘reviews’ were advertorials -published only when a restaurant placed an ad in the paper therefore they were hardly unbiased.

I hope that Gold Coast Food Guide will fill this gap for the Gold Coast and provide locals and tourists with the truth on where best to dine and where to get the greatest produce.

I look forward to reading your comments & opinions on this blog!
