Top Lunch restaurants in Southport, Australia

The service is amazing. Friendly staff who take the time to make sure they have the order correct. Large selection of items and are willing to accommodate dietary requests.

Great vibes - staff so friendly, coffee is great - awesome start to the day 👌

The staff here are so friendly and welcoming. The coffee is the best I’ve had since moving to Australia from the UK. Not only is the food delicious there is a large variety of options to have- from salads to brownies to burgers. Can not recommend this place enough. Best place to have your work break if you want cheerful conversation with good food.

Best cafe I’ve found, food and drinks are delicious and fully stocked. Super fast service and always friendly!

Best coffee, the barista is so friendly and efficient! Nice homemade sweet treats!

Great little cafe in Southport. Ideal spot to wait while getting your car serviced. Serves Merlo coffee - a smooth blend without that slight bitter edge that some beans have. Good is tasty and very reasonably priced. Dog friendly. Shaded outdoor seating on a South facing courtyard.

Beaut Lebanese Restaurant offering an impressive selection of Middle Eastern Delicacies.

Based on the food (quality, value and authenticity) this place should be humming.

My partner and I have been here numerous times, the food always delivers, but the service, though friendly, can be perfunctory, and the restaurant has zero atmosphere.

Improvements - ambience, get rid of all the (falling-down) bad café branded signage (Solo, Coke etc) on the dirty windows.

Le Star is clearly already popular with the local Lebanese community, why not create a more authentic experience? - lighting (led table candles, pontoon lights etc), bamboo walls outside (to hide Nerang Streer), music, images etc - go to Thaitanic in Nerang if you want to see how to create a vibe without a lot of expense.

Menu - offer (rather than just list) mint tea, make it a signature and value-add. Introduce and promote a modest BYO charge - say, $5 per bottle. BYO is a bonus.

Offering beverages will also increase your average spend. Give tables tap water upon arrival - appears hospitable, generous & costs virtually nothing.

The menu is too big and difficult to navigate. Offer a $30 per head set menu. Veg & non-veg. Reduces wastage, increases average spend, turnover speed/service etc include a jug of free mint tea.

Fix these things, and I can assure you, you could triple your revenue within months, if not days.

The platter was absolutely delicious! It's not on the menu but there's a picture and costs $36. Was enough for 4 adults along with the pitta and hummus and cheese pasties. Don't judge this place by its cover. It might not look inviting but the food is like being at my Lebanese friends house with mamma cooking. Authentic, yummy and quality food

Thanks to my friend who suggested me to try their new addition burger. This is really yummy and well layered.

I had a wonderful luncheon with a group of friends. I had BBQ prawns with possibly the nicest garlic sauce/dip I have ever had.

Such delicious food at very reasonable prices! Authentic tasting and generous servings.

Everything is seasoned really well.

I love that they use chicken breast, much healthier and still juicy. We are now regulars!

That place surprised us. From the outside it looks like a normal take away joint but the food is restaurant quality. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
We will definitely come back

Only little critique: is the flair, bit more Lebanese decoration would be great.

Friendly staff serving usual great taste of Merlo Coffees. It's a nice small shop with seating areas. Salad Wraps and Muffins also available for a quick brekkie. Thanks for the kind service.

A truly hidden gem in Southport, Queensland. This Lebanese restaurant blew us out of the water with their quality and quantity of food. The restaurant could use some interior design to attract more customers but when we decided to give this place a try, it hit all the notes we were looking for. Staff was super friendly and helpful. In the time we were seated there and enjoying our meal, we witnessed her help many other customers and even rearrange the seating to better accommodate some families. Lovely atmosphere and very homey feel. Highly recommend this place. Their food was delicious, and the portions were very very generous. Would definitely come here again.
