Treat your Palette with a fresh and modern Australian menu
Nestled within the heart of HOTA, Home of the Arts, Palette is a fine dining restaurant unlike any other, where every plate is inspired not just by season, but by the art that surrounds it. Rather than follow trends or quarterly changes, our menus shift with the major exhibitions on display, turning culinary expression into a mirror of the gallery’s evolving stories.
A place for celebration and entertaining
Our dishes are born from dialogue, with artists, with producers, and with the land itself. Each ingredient is sourced with intention: native elements foraged from mangrove and rainforest, and rare flavours that speak to the diverse ecology of Southeast Queensland.
Every menu is a curated journey, offered as both à la carte and tasting formats, layered with narrative and anchored in place.
At home in HOTA Gallery
At Palette, dining is immersive. Service is tailored, warm, and heartfelt, elevated through table-side rituals and storytelling that bring each dish to life. This is a space for anyone curious enough to surrender to the experience; for those who seek meaning behind the meal, beauty in the detail, and memory in every bite.
"This is by far the best food experience on the Gold Coast! Nothing on the coast comes near this place."
