Restaurant Labart

The Verdict

Burleigh Heads has another mouth-watering addition to add to its foodie portfolio with Sydney chef Alex Munoz Labart opening his first restaurant in the neighbourhood.   

The 60-seat restaurant features an open plan kitchen—with a lust-worthy marble chef’s pass—and charcoal grill allowing diners a front-row seat to watch Alex and his talented team work their magic. The eatery brings a touch of European sophistication to the GC dining scene, with its urban yet warm fit out, polished concrete floors, walnut timber tables and navy linen napkins. 

The menu is designed to be shared with snacks, small and large plates on offer, with all ingredients locally and sustainably sourced. We recommend the local spanner crab with charred baby leeks and roasted crab sauce and the moreish grilled lamb rack, with charred turnips and green herb sauce. Save some room for dessert, especially the chocolate mousse and popcorn ice cream.

There’s a concise wine list featuring whites, reds, rose and bubbles sourced from Australia and overseas, as well as local brews like Black Hops, Balter and Green Beacon to satisfy the beer-lovers too. We’ll take one of everything please.
