About Tarte Beach House

Currumbin Creek dining hits its stride under the fig trees with crisp pastry and seafood on the deck. Perched right on the water, mornings move between takeaway flat whites downstairs and sit-down brunch upstairs. Locals lean toward the crab linguine or a generous lobster roll washed down with cold Sauvignon Blanc. Down on the lawn, the ground-floor hatch serves hot-honey bagels and thick chocolate-chip cookies fresh from the oven. Midweek tables fill fast—arrive early to beat the parking squeeze—then settle in with a warm skillet of chocolate chip cookie dough beside the tide.

  • Creekside Setting: Grab an outdoor table overlooking the water beneath hundred-year-old fig trees for a calm seaside pace.
  • Elevated Cafe Fare: Skip standard breakfast fare for restaurant-level crab linguine, fresh lobster rolls, and sweet burrata.
  • Artisan Bakery: Pair your morning coffee with house-made everything bagels, berry tarts, or a warm chocolate-chip cookie skillet.
  • Pro Tip: Arrive Early: Limited street parking and steady weekend queues make early morning or midweek visits the easiest play.

  • Family-Friendly Creekfront Break

    The riverside location offers a convenient, family-friendly outdoor environment where parents can enjoy hot coffee while children swim and play by the water.

    It’s also the perfect location for families, the kids can play at the creek and we can have a hot coffee.

  • Dog-Friendly Casual Cafe & Takeaway

    A dedicated dog-friendly ground floor cafe allows visitors to stop by for freshly baked bagels and pastries during creekside strolls.

    There’s both a café and a restaurant, and I love that the café is dog-friendly, so you can spend time there with your beloved dogs as well.

Before you head over

Practical tips on timing, reservations, and spaces to make the most of your visit along Currumbin Creek.

  • Arrive Early for Parking

    Parking directly by the water is very limited and crowds gather quickly, so plan to arrive early to secure a bay without stress.

  • Book Ahead for Weekends

    Weekends get packed with longer wait times, but booking ahead secures prime creek views and ensures smooth table service.

  • Match the Setting to Your Outing

    Choose between the casual, dog-friendly ground-floor cafe for quick bagels and coffee, or reserve upstairs for seated dining.
