After reading the rave reviews already on tripadvisor, I decided to get my father-in-law a gift voucher to Allure for his birthday. He and my mother-in-law had an absolutely fabulous time! They both said that the restaurant itself was beautiful, the service was exemplary and, most importantly, they both said that it was possibly the best restaurant they had ever... More

A little bit of France at Currumbin and though on the Gold Coast, well away from the busier dining precincts. The food is excellent, the service all you could ask for and for this level of dining experience it is well worthwhile to pay a slight premium. Can not fault it. We have been several times and will return. As... More

This was our first visit and definitely won't be our last. We had the duck with cherry and the chicken breast for mains and both were cooked to perfection. Price is appropriate for fine dining, given you pay $30+ for a main at a surf club for an average meal. The mains at Allure are slightly dearer but light years... More

We recently had a family dinner at this restaurant, following a word-of-mouth recommendation. We had also been told Allure was not expensive, but in our opinion, it was pricey - for Currumbin, anyway. The restaurant was definitely more "upmarket" than I had anticipated. The food was certainly tasty and plentiful, and we ordered wine from the menu as we had... More

I was looking for somewhere a bit special and read the reviews for Allure. I wondered if it could be as good as the reviews say it is for a 'local' restaurant. It definitely is!!!. Service was friendly and informative. The food was superb with wonderful flavours and the ambience (we were in the courtyard) was perfect for a dinner... More

We live just around the corner from this little gem in Currumbin, and we simply can not get enough of Allure! For myself, after trying almost every main meal on the menu now, I just cant go past the amazing rack of lamb (with the champagne natural oysters to start). Simply melt in your mouth every time, and the two... More
