About Local Burleigh

Burleigh Heads beachfront energy meets serious kitchen craft—turning out elevated pub staples that bypass the usual shortcuts. The kitchen builds a 25-layer lasagne layered with slow-cooked beef, rich béchamel, and vibrant chimichurri that cuts straight through the richness. Regulars back the hand-crumbed chicken breast parmy served alongside curry tartare and seasoned shoestring fries, while Wednesday nights draw crowds for Black Onyx Wagyu rump finished with black garlic butter. On-tap sparkling water runs free at the refill station, and live music drifts past the terrace tables as the sun dips.

  • Signature 25-Layer Lasagne: A meticulous 25-layer build of slow-cooked beef, béchamel, Napoli sauce, and fresh chimichurri.
  • Elevated Pub Classics: Real chicken breast hand-crumbed in seasoned coating, paired with house curry tartare and fries.

  • Chicken Parmi

    The chicken was hand-crumbed with visible seasoning coating a real chicken breast (no fake chicken loveheart Schnitty here - a real pet hate of ours), the shoestring fries were perfectly seasoned (with an addictive seasoning), and he opted for the curry tartare sauce

  • 25 Layer Lasagne

    The layers were incredibly precise and rich, with deep slow-cooked beef flavours running through every bite. It was served on a beautiful base of Napoli sauce and creamy béchamel, and the balance between the acidity of the tomato and the richness of the sauce was perfect.

  • Steak sandwich

    The steak sandwich was arguably the best I’ve ever had. Apparently they use Wagyu beef and you can definitely taste the difference.
