• Wine Bar • Mermaid Beach
Booked 9 times today
Moustache is the latest newcomer to the Mermaid Beach bar scene and while it hasn’t officially swung open its doors, swathes of wine-loving revellers are already privy to its whereabouts. You’d be forgiven for thinking the pint-sized spot in the new Oxley precinct is just a cafe, but oh, how wrong you’d be.Headed up by Brodie Green, the founder behind Burleigh Heads coffee institution Seadog and The Oxley precinct star Buoy, Moustache has a strong ethos of keeping it simple, and doing it damn well. Created with the Mermaid Beach lifestyle in mind, Moustache effortlessly merges the laidback vibes of an espresso joint with the elegance of a wine bar. European influences are strong throughout—from the Italian-inspired breakfast dishes to the international vinos and Euro-esque small plates.

    What a phenomenal experience. Even with a full restaurant (Mother’s Day), the staff took the time to deliver service that was over and above. The food was incredible, as always. We absolutely love coming here on special occasions as the team make the whole experience such a delight. We really appreciate the attention to detail in the service - it’s a rare thing to experience staff that genuinely care for your experience and who go above and beyond. We are big fans.

    Australian Good Food Guide did not disappoint. Whenever I’m in new towns I love the AGFG suggestions and this little gem with only 13 hats made my trip. The tasting menu started amazing and ended the same. Lovely fresh sashimi and other seafood mixed with incredible skewers and a final Wagyu steak cooked and seasoned to perfection, great wait staff and a totally enjoyable night. There was a clear dedication to the food and ensuring an incredible night. It was surprisingly busy on a Tuesday evening. Would recommend and will return.
