Open until late seven days a week, The Kitchens is a new $160 million foodie precinct on the Gold Coast that brings together growers, chefs, artisans and foodies in one bustling marketplace.
MasterChef's George Calombaris, who has set up his Greek tapas restaurant Jimmy Grants, is joined by local restaurateurs and chefs, including Akira Takagi of Muso Ramen Noodle & Gyoza Bar, Trent Scarr of Honeyeater Kitchen and James Brady of Mr Pigs Bakehouse.

The Woodland Play Park
If you need to take a breather between shopping, or the kids need to let of steam, the Woodland Play Park features a mini grocery store, complete with an entry archway, shopping baskets, grocery items, wooden trollies, and even a kid-friendly cash register to complete the entire mock shopping experience. There's plenty of woodland themed animals waiting to be greeted, alongside cosy beanbags, and log and mushroom cushions that sit beneath the forest tee pees, perfect for curling up with a story book from our little library or getting creative with some kids colouring. Oh, and there's free WiFi in case you need to catch up on a few emails. [caption id="attachment_7180" align="alignnone" width="690"]
