About Maman Bar & Kitchen

Burleigh Heads catches a Euro-summer drift at Maman Bar & Kitchen, pairing coastal Mediterranean small plates with breezy street-side tables. Founded by two local mothers, the dining room channels effortless, homestyle hospitality—equally dialed for birthday gatherings or chilled weeknight dates over spritzes. Regulars make a ritual of mid-week specials, dropping in for Tuesday steak nights with fries or Thursday pasta deals. The kitchen delivers on shared spreads, dishing up warm flatbread with meze dips, butterfly prawns, and crisp spanakopita.

  • Mid-Week Dinner Specials: Tuesdays bring $25 steak and fries, while Thursdays feature $20-$25 pasta and wine specials alongside afternoon happy hour oyster deals.
  • Coastal Homestyle Grazing: Mediterranean small plates designed for grazing, from warm house flatbread and dips to crisp spanakopita and butterfly prawns.
  • Effortless Group Feasts: Lively coastal ambience backed by curated set menus that take the friction out of birthdays and group get-togethers.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on arrival, ordering share plates, and weeknight specials

  • Plan Ahead for Parking

    Parking is difficult throughout Burleigh Heads, so aim to arrive a little early to allow ample time to find a spot before your reservation.

  • Navigating Weeknight Specials

    Mid-week specials like Tuesday's $25 steak night and Thursday's $20-$25 pasta night offer high value, but pasta nights typically highlight a single featured dish rather than a broad menu.

  • Ordering and Plate Sharing

    Dishes are designed as Mediterranean share plates with smaller portions, so rely on the attentive floor staff for pairing suggestions or consider set menus for groups.
