The Lauxes Story
Lauxes is Burleigh Heads' best-kept fine dining secret — a 35-seat Modern European restaurant housed in the artisan precinct of James Street. Executive Chef Thomas Laurent brings two decades of European kitchen experience to a concise, seasonal menu that changes fortnightly. The 42-label wine list earned an AWLOTY 2 Glass Award in 2025, with outstanding depth in Burgundy, Alsace and cool-climate Australian whites. One of the Gold Coast's most technically accomplished wine programs.
