Longtide isn’t your average restaurant, it’s a mini vacation. With tropical cocktails, bold Southeast Asian bites and holiday energy for days, this waterfront hotspot is your new go-to for a flavour-packed escape.
If you’ve ever dreamed of bottling holiday bliss and sipping on it all year-round, Longtide is the place to visit.
Located next door to the Gold Coast’s largest privately owned marina in Runaway Bay, this tropical dining oasis is where golden hour keeps going and the only thing on your to-do list is deciding between the karaage chicken of the king prawn tam som.
Whether you’re lounging on the garden deck with a Sunday Spritzer or watching the sunset over the water with a cocktail, Longtide makes it easy to pretend you’re somewhere exotic.
And the food?
Think flavour-packed, share style dishes inspired by the vibrant coastlines of Southeast Asia, all crafted with fresh, local produce.
Kick things off with crisp karaage chicken, charred beef skewers glazed with teriyaki, or a plate of Singapore chilli prawns.
From there, dive into twice cooked pork belly with miso caramel and green apple salad, lemongrass lamb ribs, or kaffir lime dusted baby squid with yuzu mayo.
Inside, it’s vacation vibes to the max.
Tropical murals are splashed across the walls, rattan pendant lights cast a soft glow, and lush green foliage makes the whole space feel like a modern jungle retreat.
This is also not the place you want to skip the drinks menu.
The concoctions are as playful as they are potent.
The Island Time mixes passionfruit liqueur, grapefruit syrup, prosecco and mint over ice for an instant mood boost, while the Yum Yum Tom is a bold blend of vodka, ginger liqueur, lime, chilli, sweet basil and hot sauce, topped with soda.
Whether you’re visiting for a long lunch, a celebration or just to pretend you’re somewhere else, Longtide is your ticket to laid-back luxury served with seriously good food.
