The nearest thing to visiting Belgium without hopping on a plane, Bridges is an absolute delight and a must-visit if on the Gold Coast. Helmed by Belgian chef/owner and her Czech partner and owner, both of whom have created a warm and convivial European venue which feels like you are guests in their home.

Take a seat at the tiny bar in front and enjoy a selection from 30 Belgian beers or glass of wine or out back in the enchanted fairy-lit vine-covered courtyard and be treated to the best of Belgian cuisine, made from scratch using the chef's grandmother's recipes.

Mains revolve around Belgium's national dish - Moules Frites, a delectable pot of mussels in a choice of Provencale, Marinere or Green Curry sauces, served with bread for dipping and a side of Belgium's famous fries (with a choice of home-made sauces (andalouse, tartare, samurai, cocktail, aioli or mayonnaise). Otherwise there's delicious homemade meatballs or vegetarian lasagne.
