Aux Fines Bouches
Love sweet things? Then listen in. Burleigh’s industrial hub is about to get an authentic French patisserie by the name of Aux Fines Bouches. While it may be new for the Gold Coast, Aux Fines Bouches, owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo Sophie and Richard Le Deunff, has been operating in Adelaide for the past 12 years. The duo have made the move north to the sunny Gold Coast and are currently setting up shop on Taree Street in Burleigh’s industrial hub. The space will act as the main production facility for Aux Fines Bouches’ operations, with patissier Richard to be on display in the open-plan kitchen, which will be encased by a viewing glass for all to see. We’re told to expect a mix of traditional French pastries alongside a selection of Richard’s own creations and adaptations of the classics. Aux Fines Bouches is set to open in mid-November. We’ll have all of the sugar-dipped details for you, plus a peek inside, closer to opening.

The Rusty Barrel
Varsity Lakes locals, if you’re tired of venturing out of the hub for your booze and bites, you’ll be pleased to learn that a new whisky and tapas bar is en route. The Rusty Barrel is set to bring a touch of sophistication to Varsity’s bar and dining scene, with specialty whiskies and cocktails at the core. Diners can also expect a food menu of modern bites and ‘high-end burgers’, which we’re sure will have local residents gleaming. The Rusty Barrel takes over the former Cafe Pane e Vino space on Varsity Parade and is set to open by the end of November. We’ll have more details for you next month!
