Renata, her dog friend Odie and I went for a Gold Coast trip about this time last week. It was the first day after my 4-day juice detox and I hadn't yet been to Giri Kana Cafe in Southport, so that was our first stop.

They have a great healthy and fresh menu, various hot and cold dishes, very similiar to VegeRama in Brisbane. Here's the hot food options:

And the cold options:

Renata ordered a combination plate with a great kofta ball salad:

I ordered the gluten-free tofu burger AU$12:

It was pretty good - especially after only having had juices for the past 4 days! - except the gluten-free bread just fell apart.

They have a great menu, and many sweet treats. Check it out next time you're in the area.
