Cafe Matisse

Best Known For

Modern Beef Bourguignon: slow-braised beef in red wine and mushroom sauce with garlic and thyme, served with herbed silky potato mash.

Nestled along Nerang Broadbeach Road in Carrara, Café Matisse is a charming haven that blends relaxed Gold Coast energy with a touch of European soul. Warm timber tones, leafy accents and sunlight filtering through wide windows create an inviting space that feels both casual and cultured. The air hums with the scent of freshly ground coffee and buttery pastries, while the hum of quiet conversation fills the room. Outside, shaded tables beckon for leisurely brunches or afternoon catch-ups under the Queensland sky; stop in early for corn and zucchini fritters with avocado, herbed crème fraiche, lemon, smoked salmon and a poached egg. Perhaps join the lunch gang for a crusty baguette with slow-cooked pulled beef, melted Gruyère cheese and hot beef jus for dipping,
