Any Broadbeach (Surfers) restaurant/cafe recommendations?

Going to Broadbeach (Surfers) with wife & 2 1/2 year old daughter during March. Seeking restaurant/cafe recommendations for dinner (or breakfast or lunch) around Broadbeach (& Surfers). BYO is good but not necessary. Anything but Indian is good. All recommendations welcome. THX in advance.

BYO question

Some friends have advised that licensed restaurants must provide a BYO service upon request albeit they might have a high charge... is this correct?

What are the laws (especially in SA) in relation to BYO at licensed restaurants? must they provide a BYO service upon request?

THX in advance

There generally appears to be a large secondary market of the current BP during any year (have you seen the amount of 2004 BP dozen lot...
