As well as being a lovely romantic experience, candlelit dinners allow twin brothers to swap identities and drive each other’s wives’ sports cars without phoning insurance companies. Turn down the lights and enjoy the romance with today’s Groupon for Absynthe, Surfers Paradise:
- $160 for a 10-course French degustation by candlelight for two people ($360 value)

Under the guidance of two-time Michelin-starred chef Meyjitte Boughenout, Surfers Paradise’s Absynthe offers its patrons a chance to partake in their singularly contemporary take on French cuisine. Romantic Groupies treat their special someone to a memorable evening with a 10-course candlelit degustation for two people. Over the course of 10 tantalising courses of Boughenout’s signature flavour mash-ups, peeps delight their senses with such intricate pieces as “The Earth” comprising baby beetroot, blue cheese and candied peanuts; “Earth and Sea” featuring scallop, popcorn and passionfruit; and “The Pasture” consisting of poached free-range chicken served with green cabbage, chocolate and liquid green olive.

Sweet teeth satisfy their own complex cravings with two delightfully sugary treats including a chilled strawberry soup served with yoghurt ice cream and wasabi pearls. Wooers who want to up the romance stakes even further opt to add a glass of Veuve Clicquot Champagne each to the menu, and ensure that the night fully realises its heartfelt potential.
Head chef Meyjitte Boughenout believes that “flavours should not be overworked”, rather combining them in simple yet striking combinations to create a scintillating symphony. This philosophy has seen the restaurant bestowed with awards from the Australian Food Guide and Australian Gourmet Traveller magazine.

It simply is the most amazing restaurant on the Gold Coast and after living in the food capital of Australia, Melbourne, I would say this restaurant out does any great restaurant there too. The service was incredible with the staff being attentive, knowledgeable and extremely friendly.
