About the restaurant

Eddy + Wolff, a hidden gem in Gold Coast, is an Asian bar and restaurant tucked away in Robina.

Our cosy 24-seat venue strikes the perfect balance between an intimate and lively atmosphere. Adored by locals, it's a destination you don't want to miss. This unique dining experience transports you to another time, immersing you in authentic, heartful flavours of modern Asian cuisine.

The Gold Coast’s best boutique wine bar!

We are all about conversation, funky beats, tasty eats and even better wine. Finally, a place to enjoy a good time, any night of the week. There is one thing we might keep from you though and that’s how to get in, you’ll have to book to find out.

Our return to Labart after a number of years was delightful - we had a lovely meal with good food and wine. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. On our visit, protein offering was Wagyu heavy (3 types) and some of the seafood was not from Old, merely an observation rather than criticism. The wine offering has altered too - a good smattering by the glass with plenty of international bottles on the list. Not as much fun though if you wanted to mix and match your way through the meal, and that is probably more a sign of the times.

It’s always a stellar meal and excellent dining experience at Izakaya Midori. The food and presentation and the fact that it’s all plant based are the reasons we keep going back. Well done again to the chefs and staff. KUTGW.
