WHAT’S ON

NOW

Local diners have until January 28 to experience the Lobster Shack pop-up at Broadbeach. For the main attraction of authentic lobster rolls, wildcaught Clearwater Maine lobster tail is slow cooked in a butter bath and served inside a toasted brioche bun with buttermilk slaw. The rolls are served with a side of parmesan truffle fries for $35 or with a glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne for $50. “We want to give our customers the chance to ball on a budget and experience lobster and champagne in a casual setting without blowing hundreds of dollars,” says Lobster Shack’s Ben Kagan.

Visit: 1/20 Queensland Ave, Broadbeach

This is a plastic bag free market, so BYO string or canvas bags, buy a boomerang bag from one of the stalls or ask any of the farmers for a box.
