Diners eat with their eyes at new Mermaid Beach restaurant, The North Room on Gold Coast Highway. Just minutes from the sandy beaches of the Gold Coast, this European inspired restaurant features crisp white walls and tiles accentuated with navy blue to evoke images of the sea, luring diners to take a seat at pale wood tables, or lounge on plush velvet couches while contemplating a shared plate menu. With two dining areas, The North Room promises plates to activate the senses before passing the lips, with choices such as whipped cod, white anchovies, pickled onions and rye, or be tempted by beef short ribs with burnt onion and maple jam, cured yolk and celeriac. Finish with a sweet sensation such as beetroot, strawberry and yoghurt and a cheese tasting plate.
