Visited last night & was by far the best buffet we have ever been to. So much variety & not a single thing that us 3 adults & 2 kids didn’t enjoy. The staff were lovely & very attentive from collecting our plates, forks etc to the drink service. Nothing worse than waiting for a drink half way through your meal.
Will definitely be returning as we were 100% happy with everything. Big thumbs up from me & my family.
The food was amazing. The seafood was fresh and plentiful. Excellent variety of cold dishes. The desserts were delicious and plenty to choose from, not to mention the icecream and on tap M & Ms. The staff were amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Citrique is a high end buffet in the Marriott Surfers Paradise with beautiful atmosphere and great service. They serve a seafood buffet for dinner (and lunch on the weekend) and a breakfast buffet every day.
The issue I had with the seafood buffet was that I didn't actually like 2/3rds of the seafood. The cooked salmon was delicious. And the salmon sashimi wasn't bad either. But the oysters lacked any liquor and were rather bland. As were the scallops. The crab probably was tasty once but it had been overcooked. They had a broiled oyster dish (Oysters Kilpatrick) but it was more a bacon delivery system than a dish for a seafood lover. And while the fish inside the sushi was fine (they had only maki, no nigiri) the rice itself was too cold, hard/brittle, and undervinegared.
They did have a nice selection of cheeses, breads/crackers, and sweet desserts and I very much appreciated the fresh coffee (or tea) provided with dessert. And the wine list was excellent (I had a glass of a Sauvignon Blanc that complemented the salmon nicely). And as I said, the decor is lovely and the service impeccable. I just wish the seafood was better.
Everything I put on my plate was delicious and top quality. Recommend going here at least once a year.

Rate: 4.5/5
We dined here Friday night for the famous seafood buffet. And I’ve got to say, one of the best seafood buffets I’ve been too. The seafood was fresh and the hot food was also delicious with lots to choose from. The 4.5/5 and not 5 would be due to the dessert bar which could be improved... desserts were nice but none were a stand out for us and could benefit from more variety. The staff is what made our night so memorable though - our waitress Ildiko was friendly, attentive and kept checking on us to make sure we were okay despite being run off her feet. Nobu was outstanding, I had told him we are out celebrating me becoming a registered pharmacist and he came out with a special dessert platter and chocolates. Absolutely fantastic service, thank you for making our night so memorable.
Citrique ticks all the boxes for an excellent hotel restaurant. I had the pleasure of dining for breakfast and lunch. The breakfast buffet has most of your favourite fare with a few oriental touches such as miso soup and steamed rice. Potentially could have more variety though. We didn’t have the buffet for dinner, opting for the a la carte instead which did not disappoint. Service was excellent and little touches like a hand written note on my cocktail was much appreciated.

I visited here on my birthday. Everything was great! I loved oyster, fresh salmon, smoked salmon.... every seafood here was really tasty! As I saw some bad review before I went there on Zomato which made me anxious, but what I found was it's just a great restaurant! And not only seafood but they carried many kind of hot dishes that also satisfied us a lot!( I really loved a grilled salmon with cream sauce and curry-tasted chicken! The salad section was also nice.) In addition, service was lovely. Waitresses are always trying to satisfy us by cleaning up our table quickly and coming to us a lot to check our water glasses and wine glasses.
They took a photo of us and celebrated me with such a pretty card. Also, the end of dinner they carried a birthday plate singing a song for me. Who could expect to receive birthday surprise twice?😂
Oh and I shouldn't miss to write about dessert section which had a lot of kind of amazing sweets! I really loved something like custard pudding with comported apple(?).
Thank you citrique for making my birthday that wonderful!
Exactly what you expect from a 5 Star hotel. Brilliant service, friendly staff and a wide selection of food for breakfast and dinner. My one complaint is that lunch is the same as dinner and it would have been nice to have a different selection for every meal.
Very nice spread of food..
Came in very late for our breakfast buffet, but the lovely chef Ash served us very patiently.
Omelette station including smoked salmon and camembert cheese, it was more than expected.
Asian station with steamed BBQ pork buns, steamed rice and congee, steamed vegs and asian pickles/condiments complete it all for both mine and hubby's taste. Lady at the entrance / host was very humble and kind.
Grand and cozy ambiance perfecting the experience, if only for the coffee cups would be much better with white china cups and saucers..hence i didn't have my coffee this morning, and opt for the juice instead.
Overall very enjoyable breakfast ~ definitely will be back.
We love Citrique. Staff are always friendly, nice seating, and the food is delicious.
We found the dinner buffet to have a good selection of food, including fresh seafood and the dessert bar never disappoints!
The only issue I personally have, is that I don't eat a lot of red meat and don't eat beef at all and would like to see, perhaps, gravy out with red meat dishes or more chicken and/or seafood dishes prepared.
I found the few times I have gone there, there seemed to be a 'meat of the night' with a few dishes made with the same type of meat and the roast looked dry. Maybe it was just the nights we were there...I am not sure but there is plenty to eat other than meat....and we will return.
We booked for a birthday dinner, it was so good. The seafood was so fresh and there were so many options to choose from. The oysters were definitely our favourite along with the mussels. The buffet was always full. The sides were also great! The crunchy potatos were delicious. It’s worth the $120 per person. I love the venue, the entrance is amazing.
Fine dining at its best with plenty of food! Hubby got the 3 course meal for $89 (pork belly, beef, mango cheesecake). I got the lamb with a side salad. All dishes are exquisite in taste and presentation. Highly recommend
My friend told me we were going to try crocodile meat and kangaroo tails (≧∀≦),I was looking forward to it. It’s so nice, beyond my expectation! The menu is designed for Australia Day, and every dish is really iconic, and I learned many Australia foods. e.g. I didn’t know crocodile is common in northern regions. The baby carrots must have roasted with honey/sugar, it tasted like sweet potato.
A lovely culinary experience. A high staff/guest ratio meant our every need was covered very quickly. A great birthday night. Special praise to Jay Jay for your attentive service.
Had seafood buffets for dinner on Friday nigh, great service, waitress are so nice and friendly, my waiter is Nosh he made my day, he gave me a little surprise, it was a beautiful plate with two word “love” and “joy”.
The whole experience was phenomenal. From making the booking to being greeted the second we entered the hotel. Our waiters & other staff were very attentive to us & to other diners. It was extremely refreshing to see the personal contact between staff & diners. People greeted us by name & acknowledge our anniversary. Franco the restaurant Manager was very friendly, kind & took the time to talk to us. He & other people in company suits were assisting other team members clear tables. All staff were happy & very approachable. No question was a bother. . The food was fresh, great variety & very filling. Amazing service. We will be back.
My experience here was absolutely perfect. From the first plate to the last, there was amazing service and food presentation in ample amounts. 10/10
