Let other restaurants try to impress you with a stark, minimalist atmosphere. Seasons, located within the Four Seasons hotel, goes the other way and spoils you with old-school luxury. How so? For starters, there’s the marble fountain, armchair seats and deep mahogany wood trim. Then there are French-leaning prix fixe menus of five or eight courses as well as a vegetarian option. The fare constantly changes to reflect availability of ingredients, but past favorites include Tasmanian sea trout filled with slow-cooked Kobe short ribs, and rack of Colorado lamb wrapped in eggplant and scented with toasted cumin. After a day of Mag Mile shopping, no other place in the Gold Coast feels quite as decadently classic.
