Bite Me Gourmet

Bite Me Gourmet is a family-run Chilean cafe and restaurant on Robina Town Centre Drive, tucked into the car-dealership precinct and built around authentic empanadas, churrasco sandwiches and South American sweets. Dogs are welcome in the covered outdoor area, which makes it an easy stop when you want something different from the usual brunch run.

The dog setup

Dogs join you on the covered patio, which keeps them shaded while you eat, and there is room for a well-settled dog to sit under the table. Staff often bring out a water bowl, but packing your own is the safe play, and dogs stay on a lead in the seating area.

The vibe

The kitchen is known for Chilean-style empanadas in beef, chicken and cheese, the loaded Churrasco Italiano sandwich, and house-made sweets like alfajores and chilenitos, alongside proper coffee. It is a small, genuinely family-run spot rather than a chain fit-out.

Getting there

The address is 241 Robina Town Centre Drive, in the automotive precinct just off the main road through Robina. Free off-street parking sits on site, so it is an easy drive-in stop with no circling for a spot, and it is quieter outside the lunch rush.

Make a day of it

The parklands around the wider Robina Town Centre area suit an on-leash stroll, and for a proper off-leash run the Robina Common Fenced Dog Park is a short drive away, with the Frascott Park Fenced Dog Park over at Varsity Lakes as a backup.

For a longer sit-down with the dog afterwards, the Dog and Parrot Tavern takes dogs in its designated outdoor areas.
