Kirra gains Noosa flavour!
Gold Coast Bulletin, 28 March 2008
HASTINGS Street dining institution Cafe Le Monde is opening in Kirra, adding currency to the view that the beachside suburb is the new Noosa.
The proprietors of the Noosa cafe, which has been owned and operated by the Taylor family for two decades, have committed to a nine-year lease in the $95 million Kirra Surf development.
Cafe Le Monde will occupy Kirra Surf's 414sqm restaurant tenancy which has ground and mezzanine levels. Iconic surf shop Kirra Surf, which previously occupied the project's site, will take up the balance of the space in the 2000sqm commercial precinct with a superstore.
The cafe will enjoy a northeast aspect overlooking Kirra Beach and north to Surfers Paradise. The surf shop and the cafe are expected to open their doors for business following completion of the construction of Kirra Surf in May. Kirra Surf is a 12-level building whose upper levels house 91 two- and three-bedroom apartments, 76 of which are sold.
The leasing agent, Adrian Parsons of Total Project Marketing, said Cafe Le Monde was a perfect fit with the project, which aims to complement the relaxed village setting of Kirra. "The owners of Cafe Le Monde have proven their worth at Noosa, created a well-known cafe destination, and we hope they will emulate that success at Kirra Surf," he said.
Cafe Le Monde will offer an uncomplicated a la carte menu, serving export-quality steak and seafood, along with tapas, salads, pizza, pasta, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. Cafe owner Ryan Taylor said the Kirra Surf restaurant exemplified Australia's love affair with alfresco beacbside dining. "We will be bringing our tried and tested formula to Kirra," he said.
"Our business has been built on the back of a customer-first service ethos and the new venue will be the sort of place you can walk to off the beach in your boardshorts and order a beef burger with a bottle of 90 Grange Hermitage if you wish."
The leasing rate for Cafe Le Monde was not disclosed. Kirra Surf owns its superstore tenancy.
Macquarie Group of Companies and construction firm Parkview are developing Kirra Surf on a landholding at the northern entry to Kirra.
