Blowfish Ocean Grill + Bar – Winner AGFG Chef Hat 2025

We are thrilled to announce that Blowfish Ocean Grill + Bar at Broadbeach has been named an AGFG Chef Hat Award Winner for 2025. For those familiar with the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG), a “Hat” is more than just an award, it is a rigorous seal of approval that signals culinary excellence, technical precision, and a commitment to the finest local produce. For our team at Blowfish, it is a testament to our philosophy that seafood should be bold, sophisticated, and handled with the utmost respect.

What the AGFG Award Means for Our Guests

The AGFG judging process is famously strict. Anonymous inspectors visit restaurants across the country, scoring them out of 20 based solely on the quality of the food. To be awarded a Hat in 2025, Blowfish had to demonstrate consistency, flair, and an unwavering standard of ingredients. When you dine at an AGFG-awarded restaurant, you aren’t just getting a meal, you are experiencing a kitchen at the top of its ability. At Blowfish, this award validates our “Ocean Grill” concept, where the freshness of the Pacific meets the intensity of high-end steakhouse service.

The Blowfish Experience: Why the Judges Noticed

While “Ocean” is in our name, our “Grill” is where the magic happens. We utilise premium charcoal and high-heat techniques to sear locally sourced crustacea and premium cuts of meat, ensuring that every dish carries that distinct, smoky char that has become our trademark in Broadbeach.

A Setting Worthy of the Accolade

An award-winning meal deserves an award-winning atmosphere. Blowfish Ocean Grill + Bar was designed to be a sanctuary of “Coastal Sophistication.” Whether you are seated in our plush dining room or enjoying a signature cocktail at the bar, the environment reflects the quality of the plate. Our wine list, curated to complement the salinity and delicacy of our seafood, was another key factor in our 2025 success. From crisp Tasmanian Chardonnays to international vintages, the pairing possibilities at Blowfish are endless.
