About Rick Shores

Perched right on Burleigh Beach, Rick Shores pairs front-row surf views with sharp pan-Asian plates. Expect tables sitting directly above the crashing break—an immediate draw for milestone celebrations and sunny seaside lunches. Regulars make a beeline for the fried Moreton Bay bug rolls layered with sriracha mayonnaise on soft brioche, alongside kingfish and pineapple sashimi. Richer courses move toward duck red curry, charred roti, and Bangalow pork rack finished with anchovy butter. Attentive staff pace the meal with pointed wine pairings and cocktails while the swell rolls past the windows.

  • Moreton Bay Bug Rolls: Fried bug meat tucked into warm brioche with gem lettuce and sriracha mayonnaise.
  • Direct Beachfront Tables: Floor-to-ceiling windows set right over Burleigh sand and breaking surf.
  • Sharp Floor Service: Knowledgeable waitstaff offering spot-on wine pairings and tailored recommendations.
  • Pan-Asian Dining: Dishes spanning kingfish sashimi, duck red curry, and Bangalow pork with anchovy butter.

  • Unrushed Oceanfront Long Lunches

    A relaxed seaside layout lets diners watch surfers and waves roll in while lingering over chilled rosés, local beers, and shared plates.

    the view was incredible and we so enjoyed watching the beach and the surfers catching waves while downing a few roses, beers and incredible food.
