Located on the third floor of the Mondrian Gold Coast, Haven is a refined coastal dining destination overlooking the Burleigh Heads foreshore. Led by executive chef Aaron Teece, the venue offers a produce-led, seafood-forward menu built around seasonal, local ingredients from land and sea. Expect dishes like spanner crab on a crab waffle, dry-aged yellowfin tuna with garum vinaigrette and the standout wood-fired scallop pie with curry sauce. Larger plates include lobster frites and a bone-in Westholme Wagyu sirloin, while desserts celebrate native flavours with playful options like the Haven pavlova and a dedicated native ice-cream bar. The space itself blends understated luxury with coastal ease, shifting seamlessly from relaxed lunches to elevated evening dining. With its focus on sustainability, seasonality and detail, Haven offers a thoughtful new expression of modern Australian dining on the Gold Coast.
