On Sovereign - South Stradbroke Island

We recently had the good fortune to discover the Cafe on Sovereign, a little gem almost hidden away at the entrance to the Sovereign Islands at Paradise Point, on the Gold Coast. We initially went for lunch, as their lunch special had caught our eye as we drove over the bridge one day to tour the island. I had an open faced sandwich, and my wife enjoyed a burger, both of which were home made and delicious. A few days later we met a friend there for breakfast, and again delighted in the good food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Worth checking out.

Come eat with the dogs is not a hyperbole, unfortunately. The owner allows dogs inside the café, which is why I don't see myself coming there to eat. We tried it a few of times (before it became the dog central): the owner, an older lady, kept talking about her designing a menu; then asked what we would like to eat, she could cook anything; it's beyond unprofessional. The food was average; cooking eggs isn't that hard but what we got was not particularly appetizing. I can make a way better breakfast at home. And I am not coming for a chat, just for the food and a fresh newspaper (which is no longer available). So, if I want a breakfast or lunch in Paradise Point, I go elsewhere.

We have enjoyed a lovely lunch on a couple of occasions. The food is delicious, the setting is very pretty and tropical and we were made to feel very welcome. The choice of dishes is large and all meals are beautifully presented.On Sovereign is now one of our favourite restaurants on the Gold Coast.

We loved our breakfast here and loved the relaxed atmosphere. Close to home and has a great selection of cakes to choose from. The only problem here is that now it opens at 10am, which is well after our walk so we have to go some else for coffee & breakfast, but if you are a late riser and enjoy a brunch. Can recommend

I have been to this place about half a dozen times and I cannot recommend it enough! The food is delicious, prices are reasonable, staff are friendly and the atmosphere is classy yet relaxed. Lamb shanks are always a hit with me but I will be slowly working my way through the entire menu! It's new so still a bit quiet, but this sort of establishment should soon be recognised as a true gem. It's well worth the trip over the bridge. If you are local it's a no brainer. Will be going back.
