The Collective

Gold Coast


Five kitchens here serve one rambling indoor-outdoor communal dining space, strung with fairy lights, flush with pot plants and packed with happy eaters. There are two bars, one of them a balmy rooftop affair. Choose from burgers, pizza, pan-Asian, Mexican and Mod Oz share plates; there are also gluten-free and vegan options.
