Terraces

If a suite, or rooftop villa, at the immaculate five-star Sheraton Mirage Resort on Main Beach is a bit out of your price range for your accommodation on the Gold Coast, you can still enjoy a meal at the newly refurbished Terraces restaurant. With heaping, photogenic piles of oysters, prawns, salmon and more on ice, the Terraces' seafood buffet is well-known even amongst locals, while the à la carte menu has a small but varied selection for the non-fish lovers in your group – everything from fillet mignon and Hainanese roasted chicken to fish n' chips and gourmet burgers. Of course the view is likely the single biggest draw here, with views of the Pacific Ocean beyond the resort's lagoon pool.
