The Vegan Menu Even Meat-Lovers Are Booking on the Gold Coast

Every host has one guest who insists they'll just have a side salad. Chef Chloe Martin has built her entire career on proving that guest wrong, and on the Gold Coast, word is spreading fast.

The menu that changes minds

Chloe's tasting menus aren't built as the vegetarian option tacked onto a meat-heavy night. They're the main event: seasonal plant-based bites, a vegetable-forward gourmet centrepiece, and a raw dessert that regularly out-shines the rest of the table.

How she gets so much flavour without meat or dairy

• Slow-roasting and charring vegetables the way a steakhouse treats a cut of beef, for deep, caramelised flavour.

• House-made cashew cheeses and nut-based sauces built with the same technique as a French kitchen's classics.

• Sourcing straight from Gold Coast hinterland growers, so the menu changes with what's actually in season.

The real test: converting skeptics

Chloe's favourite moment of any booking is the guest who arrived certain they'd be hungry by dessert, and leaves asking for the recipe. It happens at almost every table.
