It’s a beautiful Qld winter’s day, and there’s no place I’d rather be than here. Matter of fact, not only did I drive an hour to get here today, but I did the same yesterday too. 😂 Great coffee, great food, awesome vibe, lovely staff and excellent location. Yeah, the parking is a bit tricky. But there are lots of concrete walking paths along the river so easy to walk here if you need to park a little further away. I’m looking forward to trying the Tarte Tea Garden (next door) which requires a booking to have one of their high teas.
Highly recommended 9.5/10. I had the pleasure of booking a table for 2 for Mothers Day, considering how packed they were, I am surprised and pleased with the ease of booking and availability! The venue is situated by the water and attracts a rather large crowd. I would recommend arriving early to find parking which is very limited. Once inside the atmosphere is great and they staff are attentative. Ordering was easy and the staff were pleasure to deal with. I ordered the Crab Linguini and mum had the Lobster roll, we wouldn't personally recommend the lobster roll, mum was more displeased with it than I was but all the same I wouldn't pick it (for those that want to know why, We didn't feel the flavours and preperation were to our liking, it is a cold dish as well ). That's very subjective so, each to their own. On that note,the manager made every effort to speak to us and we pivoted to another dish and I was surprised to see it was not charged at the end, I was grateful for that. I would not have minded though. Kudos. The linguini on the other hand was devine... I cannot praise it enough, balanced, portions were good it was a masterful dish and I would come back just for that. The desert was the cookie dough choc skillet, we ordered 2 because sharing was just out of the question!! Again amazing! I'm looking forward to visiting again and making my way through the menu. Very happy with my visit and I thank Tarte for hosting us. Kind Regards, Terry
BEACH-CAFE VIBE, FINE DINING QUALITY Wow. I’ve been to a lot of restaurants and written a lot of reviews, but this place truly knocked my socks off. Not because it’s pretentious or fine dining. It’s not trying to be something it’s not. It’s a beach house cafe on a creek in Currumbin, serving some of the most outstanding food I’ve tasted, with genuine, friendly, top-notch service. There wasn’t a single bite or moment I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. We’re visiting the Gold Coast and met our friend here at her suggestion. We ordered the burrata to start, served with fresh tomatoes that were so ripe, sweet, and perfectly seasoned. I’ll be honest, tomatoes aren’t normally my favorite, but I could have eaten that dish all day long. I had the chicken sandwich with the potato hash on the side. My husband ordered the fish and chips, and our friend ordered the pea fritter. We had a couple of glasses of Sauvignon Blanc. I followed with a flat white, and it was incredible. Coffee in Australia is outstanding in general, so when I say that, it really says something. Then we convinced ourselves we couldn’t leave without dessert: a berry muffin top, a raspberry tart, and the most insanely delicious chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted in my life. When I bit into the cookie, my eyes literally rolled back in my head. The perfect combination of chocolate, sweet, and salty. As a chef, I’ve cooked on private yachts for some seriously demanding clients, so I don’t say this lightly: this food is not “fine dining” in vibe, but it absolutely is in quality. Like make your toes curl quality. Our servers Gemma and Sarina were rock stars. They were professional, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely lovely. I highly recommend… no, actually, you’re doing yourself a disservice by not trying Tarte Beach Cafe at least once. You won’t be disappointed. R. Michael, food and travel writer.

Such a great restaurant in Palm Beach so we went back twice in our trip. Staff are super nice, and the food is the obvious winner here. We had: the steak sando (huge portion, meat was delicious), the OG Burrito & Wagyu salad. The cookie skillet is also a fan fave. Thanks so much for lovely afternoons!
We had our staff Christmas lunch at Tarte today and it was lovely. The food was delicious and the cocktails very nice. We enjoyed the lobster roll, fish and chips and wagyu steak roll and they were very generous in size. It did take a little time for the food to come out but this is understandable given the time of the year and the restaurant being very busy. The staff were lovely and attentive. Sitting on the balcony overlooking Currumbin Creek is divine. Highly recommended requesting an outdoor table.
