About Monsieur Chow

Mermaid Beach trades predictable dining for moody banquets, spiced margaritas, and vintage films flickering against brick. Low lighting sets the room for slow-braised wagyu cheek, Moreton Bay bug bao, and coal-roasted oysters glazed with house XO. Out back, classic cinema loops along the alleyway wall while tables share banquet plates and crisp drinks. Regulars lean into the smoky pad see ew noodles alongside sticky caramelised pork belly.

  • Alleyway Cinema: Tables in the alleyway catch classic vintage films projected directly onto the exposed brick wall.
  • Fresh Seafood XO: Coal-roasted oysters come brushed with house-made XO crafted from fresh seafood instead of dried elements.
  • Moody Date Nights: Dim lighting and shareable chef banquets pair naturally with spiced margaritas for evening dates and catch-ups.

  • Intimate Date Night Atmosphere

    A moody, low-lit dining room paired with curated banquets makes it a premier Gold Coast setting for anniversaries and romantic dinners.

    Not a place I'd take the kids, but a wonderful date night venue.

  • Celebratory Banquet Dining

    Special occasions are elevated with shareable banquet menus where each dish arrives carefully composed for groups.

    we indulged in Banquet #2 to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday—it was the perfect choice. Each dish was presented with meticulous detail

  • Flowing Margaritas & Social Feasts

    Group events stay energetic with vibrant banquet platters paired alongside creative, flowing signature margarita varieties.

    margaritas flowing with lots of flavours (and strong too!), and the chef’s banquet was all delicious. Such a fun day at Monsieur Chow!

  • Fresh Seafood House-Made XO

    The kitchen prepares its signature XO sauce utilizing fresh seafood for the paste rather than dried seafood foundations to create a smoother, elevated profile.

    In particular the house made XO is a real stand out. Made with fresh seafood for the paste, rather than the usual dried ingredients.

  • Terrace Happy Hour Deals

    Outdoor terrace seating provides an inviting afternoon destination for discounted coal-roasted oysters and craft drinks.

    Great terrace in Nobby’s and such a good deal for happy hour! The waitress take care of us all night long and was really kind and nice with us! The cocktails were amazing, and the coal roasted oyster with XO sauce for only $3 is an absolute steal.
