Fig and Frankie's

Those dialled into the Gold Coast dining scene consistently point down a quiet Broadbeach laneway for their evening fix. Duck off the main strip—bypassing the usual crowds—and you’ll land at Fig and Frankie's. A masterclass in intimate, alleyway drinking. The hospitality here is crackling. Genuine, down-to-earth service paired with a fiercely curated, rotating cocktail list. Think perfectly balanced margaritas, remarkably priced spritzes, and bespoke specs that shift every few months to keep things sharp. But the kitchen punches just as hard. Plates are generous, designed for sharing, and unapologetically bold. The truffle honey halloumi is legendary among the evening crowd, while the spicy Korean cauliflower and flawlessly emulsified *cacio e pepe* command absolute respect. It’s that rare breed of venue. Unpretentious vibe, top-tier execution. Grab a stool, order a charcuterie board, and let the night slip away.
