GOLD COAST DINING GUIDE AUGUST

   The Broadbeach Seafood Kings...

If you’re in the mood for the traditional flavours of the Mediterranean then dining out at Georges Steak and Seafood is a must. See www.georgesbroadbeach.com.au

Yes, you’ll find succulent fillet steak cooked to perfection, as well as your favourite Italian veal and pasta dishes...but if you want to be sure that your seafood is the best it can be, it has to be Georges.

This is because there is a rich history of restaurateurs in the Covino family, with Georges being one of the longest established restaurants in Broadbeach.  

So, back to their sensational seafood choices:  Try the Fresh Sea Scallops, pan sautéed with seeded mustard and curry chive butter sauce; or the Honey and Macadamia Prawns.  Very decadent!

The Fresh Snapper Fillet with Danish fetta, sundried tomato crust and buerre blanc sauce is something to anticipate.  On the lighter side try the Seafood and Lobster Soup - a clear soup with fresh seafood, fresh basil and fresh lobster medallions. Tasty, healthy and very affordable!

Want to be really spoilt? For that special occasion you can’t go past George’s Seafood Platter for Two with lobster mornay, hot and cold oysters, calamari, fresh barramundi, Moreton Bay Bugs, and hot and cold juicy king prawns.

There's an incredible special offer at Georges Steak and Seafood for a half lobster mornay of only $25.90!  And remember to ask for your 'Early Bird' discount for orders taken before 6.30pm.  Ph:  5570 1222.
