The latest of the Hyde superclubs, and first to make its Australian debut, is the coastal-inspired Hyde Paradiso in Surfers Paradise. The Gold Coast-based offering sits on the oceanfront of the entertainment precinct, launched in collaboration with owners SBE and the Accor Group-owned Pepper Soul Surfers Paradise. Taking over the space in which the former in-house restaurant once sat, the new addition to the precinct caters to the night owls in town, thanks to a bevy of food and drink options available until the wee hours.

Laid-back luxe is on the cards at the new lunch and dinner venue which has been partly inspired by the ‘juiciest’ parts of the Mediterranean. “The Autumn menu is seasonal and local featuring a vibrant mix of Greek, Turkish, Moroccan, Lebanese and Italian cuisines,” explains Executive Chef Joel F. Bryant. “Each dish is inspired by my travels throughout Europe and the casual tapas style of service enjoyed in cities like Barcelona and Lisbon. Our food embraces the culture of social sharing, with fresh light dishes designed to complement sea views, while guests are sipping tasty cocktails and refreshing wines,” Bryant said.

You’ll find everything from light nibbles to heartier bites on the menu. Guests will be able to tuck into housemade dips like hummus, smoked eggplant and Taramosolata before moving on to heartier fare, from shared plates of seafood to salt and pepper squid. For larger groups and festive occasions, there’s also the option of a family-style menu which includes a Portuguese chicken served alongside a chickpea salad, or the whole-baked reef fish accompanied by roasted fennel.

Cocktail lovers will no doubt flock to the Hyde Paradiso signature drink, which is a take on an Italian favourite. The Hyde Paradiso Sgroppino will take the classic Venetian cocktail of sorbet, prosecco and limoncello and transform it into a trio of revamps – including the Aperitivo Sgroppino made with strawberry sorbet, Pimm’s and Prosecco. While cocktails are of course plentiful here, so too are the wine options. Guests choosing to seat themselves at the bar will be able to sip on an array of white wines, Prosecco and Vermentino from Italy. There will also be a Bottomless Brunch introduced across the weekend, serving up the venue’s signature dishes partnered with endless cocktails.

Hyde Paradiso sits on Level 2, 8 The Esplanade, Surfers Paradise within Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise. It will trade from Monday to Sunday from 12.00pm till late. hydeparadiso.com.
