Citrique

Skip the usual Surfers Paradise tourist traps. Citrique, anchored inside the JW Marriott, is where the coast’s serious gourmands are booking tables. Forget the outdated buffet stereotypes—the real play here is the razor-sharp *à la carte* or the staggering six-course tasting menu. Seafood purists point straight to the flawless *fruits de mer*—hyper-fresh, aggressively vibrant, and plated with sheer architectural precision. The absolute non-negotiable? That Moreton Bay bug dumpling. A total masterclass in oceanic umami. Kick things off with a hyper-balanced *amuse-bouche* paired with a signature tea cocktail, then let the wildly intuitive staff steer the evening. Close it out with a sharp, botanical hit of native limecello. Opulent space. High-voltage execution. An absolute knockout.
