Alachati, a town on the Aegean Sea home to delicious share breakfasts & mezze meals.This type of share breakfast, lunch & dinners is a first dine experience in the Gold Coast. Eating mezze is a social activity; it’s chatting with friends around the table for hours on end, helping yourself to Mediterranean dishes and tearing off chunks of fresh Turkish bread and dipping it into range of dips & salads. It’s drinking together, sharing hot, as well as cold delicious dishes. It’s going out to listen to music, nibbling, dipping, savouring. It’s an experience… See you at Alachati Broadbeach

Our obliging and attentive waiter saved the day. The menu, ambience and value were all disappointing compared with other sanctuary cove eateries. Easy parking, vegan offerings for our diverse family and table availability have brought us here several times, I just wish it was a better experience. I think they can do way better than this.
