As head chef and owner of Oskars on Burleigh, Marty Kollrepp is the man behind one of the Gold Coast’s premier, and most picturesque, dining destinations. “Our prime location overlooking the famous Burleigh Heads beach is only part of what makes Oskars so special,” Marty explains. “We pride ourselves on our reputation for excellence in every aspect of food, service and attention to detail to ensure our dining experience is one of a kind.” Marty has come a long way since commencing his first apprenticeship at the tender age of 14. The German born chef initially qualified as a baker before completing his cooking apprenticeship in Cologne. Then, in 1976, Marty set his sights on Australia, where he worked at the Broadbeach International Hotel before being approached by Warren and Narelle Wearne to be head chef of Fanny’s Restaurant in Surfers Paradise. In 1981, Marty and the Wearnes joined forces and Oskars on the Beach was born. When the lease expired in 1997, the restaurant relocated and became Oskars on Burleigh and the rest, as they say, is history. Over the past 30 years Marty and his team have received multiple American Express Gold Plates, including two Hall of Fame Awards, as well as Restaurant and Catering Industry Awards for Best Seafood, Informal Dining, Chef/Owner and Best Wine List.
