Sofia’s Restaurant & Bar brings a new level of sophistication and coastal European dining style to Broadbeach. Located on the ground floor of the Oasis Shopping Centre, dreamy tones and a stunning fit-out draw you in, with whitewashed walls, touches of wood and pops of colour from the bottles on the shelves around, all transporting guests to long, serene summers on the French Riviera. Sofia’s is known for all day dining, extensive wine list, wood-fired bread, European salumi and cheese, appellation oysters shucked to order, and famous Cacio e Pepe linguine served from an aged parmesan wheel and the delicious fresh fish of the day.
In terms of the menu, the executive chef Dan Paulman has brought some of Sofia’s favourites alongside a selection of seasonal new additions. Start with a serving of its famous house-made bread and the all-new zucchini flowers stuffed with parmesan and ricotta, lemon zest and nutmeg. Oyster lovers can slurp back live Appellation oysters that can be served natural or with a side of chardonnay mignonette. Chef Dan has also expanded the pasta selection, which includes the show-stopping Cacio & Pepe that is served at the table from a 40-kg aged wheel of parmesan. Yes, before you ask, it’s every bit as rich, creamy and delightfully decadent as it sounds.
