The Star Gold Coast‘s buffet Food Fantasy will close its doors from early July to undergo a complete redesign and expansion. The bistro will reopen in summer as Harvest Buffet with an extended menu to highlight The Star’s dining and entertainment offering. Adopting similar branding and design cues as its sister venue at The Star Sydney, Harvest Buffet will form part of the property’s ongoing alignment to The Star brand.
The Star Entertainment Group Managing Director Queensland Geoff Hogg said locals, domestic visitors and international guests would be excited by the makeover and the unveiling of Harvest Buffet. “Food Fantasy is without a doubt one of our most popular venues and has attracted a very loyal customer base over the years,” said Mr Hogg. “Significant planning has gone into designing a bright and inviting space that will pay homage to everything diners love about the current venue, but with an even greater capacity and enhanced offering. Our significant investments to create a world-class integrated resort is also ensuring the Gold Coast continues to develop as a leading dining mecca, while further embracing The Star’s well-established brands and design cues to support this growth.”
The Star Gold Coast has successfully launched 11 venues as part of its recent renovations, including award-winning restaurants Kiyomi, Cucina Vivo and Garden Kitchen & Bar, and rooftop restaurant and bar, Nineteen at The Star. Harvest Buffet will see capacity increase by more than 100 to approximately 500 seats, as well as the construction of a new kitchen and entrance allowing for a more seamless entry into the restaurant.
With the masterminds behind the design of The Star’s other restaurants – international architecture and interior design firm Luchetti Krelle – responsible for the new venue’s design, Harvest Buffet is expected to offer a light and airy interior that is synonymous with the Gold Coast. Lush planting, cabana-like canopies and a luxe private dining room will create welcoming zones within the space to suit the needs of single travellers and large groups alike. A fresh coastal palette of washed timber and natural stone with accents of mint, blush and brass will complement poolside views through floor to ceiling glass, creating a crisp and contemporary dining experience for guests.
A feast for the senses, Harvest Buffet will have a carvery station, a seafood buffet, and a dessert display featuring a custom-designed chocolate fountain.
