About Xenia Coolangatta

Set across from the beach along Marine Parade, Xenia delivers sunlit Greek dining with warm Mediterranean hospitality and slow-cooked plates. Long tables share banquet spreads of slow-cooked lamb falling off the bone, grilled skewers, and charred calamari alongside crisp salads. For anyone eating gluten-free, dedicated adaptations ensure zero compromises—right down to warm, soft pita wraps folded with tender gyros and garlicky tzatziki. Guests linger under fairy lights over sizzling saganaki and elderflower cocktails as ocean breezes drift off Coolangatta beach.

  • Gluten-Free Pita & Platters: Dedicated gluten-free menus feature house pita wraps, gyros, and share plates with no trade-offs on texture.
  • Banquet-Style Greek Feasts: Shared feasts showcase slow-cooked lamb shoulder, flaming saganaki, calamari, and fresh salads built for long table gatherings.
  • Beachside Takeaway Souvlaki: Grab-and-go souvlaki wraps make it easy to head across Marine Parade for casual sunsets on the sand.
