Marie Anita’s is well known for its gluten-free and sugar-free fare. The cafe, which was originally located in Burleigh Heads, relocated to Mermaid Beach in August, retaining its wholesome, simplistic and local ethos. Whether you’re into raw, vegan, paleo, gluten free, free range, or just want to eat green and organic, then the extensive breakfast and lunch menus will suit your discerning tastebuds. If you have never experienced Maria Anita’s amazing range of raw treats, then you need to address this situation (immediately). The raw peppermint slice is a good place to start.
