Lolas Broadbeach

My general rule of thumb when going out for breakfast is to always order something I’d never make myself at home. I made an exception at Lolas however, justifying it because I was on holiday and didn’t have these ingredients at the hotel, and was glad that I did because simple food is what Lolas does best. The menu is refreshingly unpretentious, the staff all friendly, and everything was delicious and nicely portioned. Nice one Lola.

The Food I thought was excellent and value for money! They also have great little lunch deals!
The coffee is super nice!
The only let down on this place is the service,
We got the menu’s straight up and that was as far as we got. I had to get up and place an order myself because we were forgotten about but was then told to sit back down and someone will be right with you.
You also have to wave them down for them to come and check up on you or to receive the bill. A little more work on the service side of things and this place would be on point

This restaurant is located very close to the beach and across from the lawn bowls in the area. They had a great lunch special with an entrée, main, and glass of wine for $ 20 so my friends and I decided to check it out. They give you a separate menu that gives you the options with the lunch special.
Entrée choices:
Salt and Pepper Calamari
Corn Fritter
Bruschetta
The calamari was fantastic and the corn fritter was pretty good but the homemade relish was too strong. Do not order the bruschetta. My friend could hardly eat it.
Entrée choices:
Vege-​Stack
Fish ‘N’ Chips
Moroccan Chicken Salad
Rump Steak and Chips
Chicken Parmigiana
The Moroccan chicken salad was pretty good. I liked the Rump Steak even though it came out medium and we asked for medium rare. My friends loved their vege-​stack!
Wine:
Red or White
The house white was not good so I would go for the red next time.
Service was OK. I wouldn’t run to go back but the outdoor seating was fantastic.

If you’ve seen some of my previous reviews, you’ll see that I eat out for breakfast practically every morning while on the GC for work.
I also try and get out for a walk around Broadbeach each morning (I stress try, but you’re not reading this to listen to my lack of fitness régime now are you!), which is how I came across this little gem of a café /​restaurant.
Plenty of seating outside (only a couple in full sun, a good or bad thing depending on how you feel!), friendly staff & quite a decent menu.
I went the bacon and eggs (anyone else sensing a pattern here), and despite a bit of a wait for it to arrive, couldn’t fault the food and the fresh pineapple juice was perfect.
This a cute little café, with good breakfast and a great location coming off the back of a beachside walk, that I think I’ll make my regular :)
It’s probably a little pricier than some of the more, um how do I put this… let me just say I wouldn’t take my boss to some of the places near Broadbeach mall. But I’m sure it’s around the same price /​cheaper than Melbourne (I don’t eat breakfast out in Melbourne very often).

Great fast delicious food served with a friendly smile.

Lolas breakfast was so good, I came here two days in a row and ordered the same thing, some kind of breakfast burger concoction. It was a huge avocado, egg white, hash browns, toast, and bacon! The prices are great, but minus the one star for the service, they were a bit slow with the water, the check, and general upkeep.
But the food it what counts right! Well worth it, I would recommend Lola’s for breakie.
I did come for lunch, and I had the shrimp pasta, OMG SO FRICKING HOT. I was dying with spice in my poor, poor American throat. I didn’t know the Aussies like it spicy!
Good times Lola !
