From white linen fine dining to cosy neighbourhood eateries, there are a lot of contenders for the Sunshine Coast's best restaurant. The Sunshine Coast/Gubbi Gubbi Country has more recently built its reputation as a burgeoning foodie hub, and I am not one bit complaining.
So what makes a Sunshine Coast restaurant one of the best? For me, sourcing local produce and championing the region's finest ingredients does get me excited. I mean, come on - Mooloolaba Prawns in Mooloolaba are basically a rite of passage. Then there's the atmosphere, be it hidden and moody or right on the main drag with ocean views. I've made some tough decisions to cap this at 31, any less would be near impossible.
So here you have it, from north to south, fine dining institutions to up-and-coming venues, no matter your mood, one of these Sunshine Coast restaurants has your name on it. Here are 31 of the best restaurants on the Sunshine Coast in 2025.
Sunshine Coast Restaurants At A Glance
Fine Dining Restaurants
Market Bistro

If there was ever a place for top-notch fine dining on the Sunshine Coast, look no further than Market Bistro. With floor-to-ceiling glass windows, plush couches and soft green finishes, Market Bistro is your stylish and contemporary European neighbourhood-style bistro.
Boasting a constantly revolving wine list, I never regret ordering that delicious second glass of fine red wine to go alongside roast Mooloolaba king prawns or their hand-made ravioli stuffed with confit duck leg.

Bask
Shop 3-4/218 David Low Wy, Peregian Beach QLD 4573
It's the paddock to plate experience that 'is a celebration of the Sunshine Coast's culinary riches.' Two-hatted and sunsoaked, Bask brings a curated feel to their dining experience. And experience really is the only word for it. Chef Jack Madden cuts zero corners with his dishes and after two decades of honing his craft, it's clear that he knows food. Like, really knows it.
Dishes are decided by the seasons, its fruitful offerings and quite often the sea. If you get the chance, a long lunch with friends featuring the prawn sandwich with Marie Rose sauce, house crisps and salads is quite possibly what life's all about.

Bella Venezia
95 Mooloolaba Espl, Mooloolaba QLD 4557
This is fine dining on the Sunshine Coast in its truest form. Bella Venezia is the mamma of Italian dining here on the Sunshine Coast, opening in 1983 and winning a swag of awards including a 2025 'Best Of Queensland Experience' and Tripadvisor's Travelers' Best of the Best Choice Awards. Not to mention their 2024 title of Australia's Wine List Of The Year. And while the restaurant has undergone a few facelifts, their menu has largely stayed tried and true, just the way I like it.
It’s honestly hard to pick a favourite, with such a lengthy menu, but I can confirm that the slow-cooked beef cheek ragout with hand-cut pappardelle and basil infused Grana Padano is a rich and glorious offering, best enjoyed with a glass of Shiraz. And the Florence pizza honours its namesake, laden with Italian tomatoes, spinach, sauteed mushrooms, pumpkin, roast capsicum and garlic aioli. It's next-level tasty.
INSIDER INTEL
- This is a top choice for truly special celebrations. The service may see you learn a lot about your meal and starting with a caviar tasting is basically non-negotiable
Harry’s On Buderim
11 Harrys Ln, Buderim QLD 4556
Harry’s On Buderim is a fine dining restaurant offering modern Australian cuisine within a charming 120-year-old homestead. With two-hatted chef and owner Stuart Bell at the helm, the menu uses the freshest local produce and ingredients. His 30+ years of experience in the kitchen is refined and ever-present on your plate.
The sprawling veranda offers guests a true outdoor Queensland dining experience with views over the open parklands and rainforest. I love that seasonal produce makes decisions on what'll feature on the menu. Even the degustations are decided sometimes daily to accommodate.

Park & Cove

Park & Cove is Peppers Noosa's reimagined coastal dining destination overlooking Noosa from its gorgeous home on the hill. The kitchen is headed up by Chef Andrew Wilcox, third-generation Noosa local, who describes his food philosophy as simple and designed to bring people together. The relaxed modern coastal menu stars local delights like K’gari spanner crab linguini, seared beef picanha and Swiss chard and smoked potato agnolotti.
Pair your culinary experience with picturesque views of Noosa National Park and you’ve got yourself a winner. Be sure to save room for the Raffaello dessert, with coconut mousse, hazlenut ganache and dipped in white chocolate then doused in shredded coconut and dulce de leche. It's genuinely life-changing. Plus, I love that there are a range of menus including one specifically for vegetarian and vegan dishes as well as little foodies. Adorable.

For those special occassions when you would like to leave the country but can’t quite afford a private jet for the night, in my opinion, Orléans is one of the best restaurants on the Sunshine Coast for a romantic date night.
Expect a fusion of New Orleans and French cuisine and comfort food dishes like the Seafood gumbo that'll deliver a rich broth and meaty prawns direct to you. Walking into this bar slash restaurant totally feels like stepping into a fine little bar in Melbourne, and that’s a big win in my books.

Lucio’s Marina is a waterfront seafood trattoria and aperitivo bar that effortlessly combines freshly caught seafood with premium local produce from the Noosa Hinterland, dishing up an exquisite menu that will keep you coming back, again and again.
This airy Sunshine Coast restaurant pays homage to Northern Italian flavours, with a menu that transports me to coastal Italy every time. I love the nod to the original. My pick's to warm your palate with antipasti like patat dolce e ricotta salata—a tantalising combination of fried sweet potato, honey and shaved ricotta salata—before moving onto mains like the spaghetti alla caprese or the ravioli mare e monti.

Restaurants For Date Night
Liliana's Trattoria
5 Ocean St, Maroochydore QLD 4558
Image Credit: Liliana's Trattoria | Supplied
The words ‘authentic Italian’ get thrown around a lot, although venues often don’t warrant the title, which comes with high expectations. Liliana’s Trattoria is a rarity in this sense. Liliana’s Trattoria is a sweet Italian joint that serves classic generational Italian dishes inspired by Nonna Liliana in Maroochydore.
The inspiration behind the trattoria, Liliana Kain has a passion for sharing her long-held traditional family recipes and for creating food from the heart for her family—and now for the Maroochydore community. Liliana’s touch is ever present throughout the menu—from her crumbed and fried pork shoulder and beef meatballs; to her beef cheek ragu gnocchi; to the array of woodfired sourdough pizzas made in-house. Liliana’s Trattoria is simple, it’s authentic and it’s all about sharing special moments with loved ones.

For a long, lazy lunch overlooking Noosa Main Beach, go directly to Sails. Combining laid-back coastal cool with just the right amount of class and elegance, Sails takes beachside dining up a notch and is undoubtedly home to one of the Sunshine Coast's most iconic restaurant views.
With a menu brimming with fresh local produce, straight-out-of-the-ocean seafood and a decadent wine list that has consistently won three goblets (the highest possible) from Gourmet Traveller Australian Wine List of The Year Awards.
INSIDER INTEL

Noosa Waterfront Restaurant and Bar
142 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville QLD 4566
If you’ve never been to the Noosa Waterfront Restaurant, then make a dinner here a top priority. Tucked away from the busyness of Hastings Street, this elegant gem offers views of Noosa River, delicious Italian-inspired cuisine and a dining experience that somehow nails both casual and luxury.
They make their own pasta in-house and also offer a divine six-course degustation tasting menu. My top pick's the tortellini with pumpkin and sage burnt butter. Waterfront's a top contender for the best Italian, nay best restaurant, on the Sunshine Coast in my opinion.

Rice Boi
123 Parkyn Parade, Mooloolaba QLD 4557

Grunge, neon lights and lanterns, Rice Boi feels like an underground city bar that’s mistakenly landed on the Sunshine Coast—but that’s exactly what I love about it. Channelling the essence of a Japanese izakaya, Rice Boi dishes up the goods when it comes to modern Asian street-style food.
Undeniably one of the best restaurants on the Sunshine Coast for Japanese, this Mooloolaba joint hums every day of the week. Ramen, bao, curries, every choice is a winner. And there's an impressive selection of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options too.

SOKA’s menu is a delicious blend of Japanese and charcoal-prepared cuisine. The melt-in-your mouth chargrilled and raw sashimi dishes have me daydreaming of a one-way ticket to Japan every single visit.
With a menu sure to satisfy and delight any travel urges you may be experiencing, SOKA’s modern and extensive Japanese menu does not disappoint. Take your pick of incredible sashimi dishes—salmon, kingfisher, coral trout or scallops. Or a delicious chargrilled yakitori chicken skewer and corn cob served with teriyaki mayo, salted ricotta and shichimi.

No list of hinterland restaurants, nay Sunshine Coast restaurants, would be complete without this inclusion. Ambience is the name of the game at Spirit House. This highly-awarded restaurant also homes a cooking school, so instead of saving your cooking class for your next destination holiday, indulge right here. I'm a big fan of the variety of lesson options, including the 'School of Wok' and 'Meat To Please You' session.
Set in lush tropical gardens nestled around a tranquil pond, bubbling waterfalls, tinkling wind chimes, and the sounds of nature, the Spirit House will whisk you off to Asia for a few hours. Enjoy the ‘prix fixe’ menu of $110 per person and choose from such delectable offerings as crab toast, curry of salted tuna, palm sugar charred squid and the epic 7 Textures of Chocolate to top things off.

- My pick for the most picturesque dining experience on the Sunshine Coast, with an eye-popping menu to match.
Bottarga
1 Mundoo Blvd, Maroochydore QLD 4558
The newest addition to Maroochydore's dining scene, Bottarga does sprawling balcony dining in a seriously chic way. Inspired by Sicily, handmade pasta is delicately handled by skilled chefs and brought to life with every bite. Chef Biagio Biuso brings his Sicilian roots to the contemporary European menu where nostalgic recipes entwine with modern flavours.
The fitout's clean and a real treat to be amongst. But perhaps what I love most about Bottarga is their dessert lists that spans an entire page, features everything from cheese plates and Tiramisu to liquid desserts and dessert wines. I'm about it. Keep an eye out for their wine night events which pull a crowd.

Colourful, creative, authentic and just the kind of delightful dining spot that has me back at this place time and time again: meet Humble on Duke, the intimate—and yes, humble—14-seater restaurant that has set tongues wagging in the Sunny Coast hospitality scene since its doors swung open in 2020. I'm a big fan of their delicious cuisine, creative twists and genuine passion for dishing up good, honest food.
Modern Australian flavours take centre stage and are boldly accentuated with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean spices, a combination which makes for a truly delectable experience.

With exotic chandeliers above, lush greenery surround and an open marble bar, this joint serves up ultra-cool vibes before you've even had a chance to crack open the menu. Bang Bang showcases up-market South-East Asian cuisine, a share-style menu and an extensive wine and signature cocktail list.
The hardest part will be choosing between the creamy braised beef massaman with Wagyu and kifgler potatoes and the BBQ Mooloolaba King Prawns with Thai coconut curry and house-made crispy shallots. I can't help but get out of my comfort zone here and sip a Crouching Tiger or Miyagi’s Margi with Jalapenos and tequila infused with birdseye chilli and coriander.

Nestled down the Noosa National Park end of Hastings Street, Locale is a must-visit when working your way through the best restaurants on the Sunshine Coast. Pop in for a moody cocktail at the dimly-lit bar and I guarantee you’ll be staying through dinner, dessert and an espresso nightcap.
Serving authentic Italian dishes, including freshly-made pastas, antipasti and a life-changing slow-roasted lamb shoulder, this sophisticated restaurant feels like a hidden slice of Italy in a bustling resort town.

Lanai Noosa is a sophisticated seafood-centric restaurant which truly embodies the essence of Noosa’s casual elegance and boasts scenic views of the Noosa River. Lanai has a strong focus on sharing and connection, which is reflected in the shareable menu—from small nibble platters to large share plates which champion sustainably sourced seafood, native ingredients and locally crafted artisan products. The menu is light and fresh, reflecting the very essence of Noosa and complemented by an extensive drinks list.

Nestled on two hectares in the scenic Noosa hinterland, The Doonan is a sprawling garden-lined venue boasting indoor and outdoor dining, multiple beer gardens, bars, a pizzeria, ice creamery, cellar door and multiple function spaces. Yes, it’s huge. The Comiskey Group, owners of iconic venues Eatons Hill Hotel and Sandstone Point Hotel, have partnered with Noosa locals to bring this game-changing venue to the Sunshine Coast.
You could be forgiven for thinking the venue looks more like a plant nursery than a mega pub—The Doonan oozes character and charm with soft archways and pointed ceilings, decorated in exposed brick and greenery. The Doonan offers the ultimate paddock-to-plate alfresco dining experience with an Italian-inspired menu and a Marana rotary pizza oven imported from Italy.

An applauded Sunny Coast restaurant from the lauded Tony Kelly Group (they're to thank for renowned venues like Riceboi, Riceboi Upstairs, Piggyback and Spero), I'm a sucker for for another Asian-fusion favourite in Giddy Geisha. The first thing you’ll notice is the grungy urban surroundings, swiftly followed by the drool-worthy smell of whatever's cooking in the kitchen.
Giddy Geisha serves a funky mix of street food and refined Asian dishes. Chow down on some crying tiger beef, crispy pork and prawns or one of their tasty sashimi dishes while you cheers your mates with a deliciously quirky cocktail. Plus, there's the rare sighting of a gluten free menu here.

Located just a stone’s throw from Mooloolaba’s stunning shoreline, the newly rebranded Dune By Pavillion (formerly Pavillion Mooloolaba) boasts uninterrupted sweeping views of the ocean, balmy sea breezes and an intimate, laid back vibe. The dreamy interior oozes Mediterranean vibes, with terracotta hued feature tiles, creamy white tones and splashes of greenery.
Everytime I dine here I'm transported to a European summer with their modern share-style menu that's big on flavour and personality in equal measure. I've neber had a bad time when I start with freshly shucked oysters, crispy cauliflower tacos and forest mushroom arancini before moving onto their famous zucca pizza with pumpkin creme atop a 72-hour fermented base pizzas.

Honeysuckle and its long swag of awards is unlike any other Sunshine Coast restaurant in Buderim. Think modestly-priced yum cha style meals in an elevated setting. Yes, there's lunch. Yes, there's dinner. Yes there's even a dedicated vegetarian yumcha menu. Or, the option to order a la cart (don't leave without trying the char siu kangaroo with Daikon cake, burnt orange and currants).
My crew always seem to have a mix of their East Asian-inspired lunchtime dishes like Kimchi and potato pancakes with dried pork belly, crispy Korean fried chicken with chojang sauce, sweet and sour eggplant with pineapple and Korean rice cakes on our table.

When renowned Sunshine Coast hospitality icon, Tony Kelly, opens his eighth dining venue, you know it’s going to be good. What's his eighth venue you ask? A stunning beachside Italian restaurant in Bokarina.
Bocca Italian is situated in Bokarina Beach (how fitting) and emulates refined yet casual dining vibes. The 150-seater restaurant boasts a sleek fit-out and even has a 14-seat private dining room for more intimate occasions. I can honestly taste the difference with their strong focus on fresh produce, serving only the best of the best in their signature pastas and pizzas.

Sum Yung Guys is the masterpiece of four local lads, including ex-Masterchef contestant Matt Sinclair. Since opening in 2017, this Noosaville restaurant has built such an impressive reputation that it's not uncommon to come across a waitlist to book in.

Located on Hastings Street, Miss Moneypenny’s coastal colour palette is dreamy and the styling is elegantly timeless and very classy. And if you ever visited their sister restaurant on the Gold Coast when it was around, you'll know exactly how great that truly is.
Serving up a diverse range of international-standard cocktails and Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-inspired Modern Australian dining, this place has the best of both worlds, a great location and even better food and drinks. With social dining at its heart, the artistically executed menu boasts delights like chargrilled king salmon served strikingly atop charred chunks of wood, roast lamb shoulder with cucumber raita and Middle Eastern spiced pumpkin with spiced ras el hanout, sherry glaze, pickled enoki mushroom, cous cous and grain salad.

Embassy XO serves up some of the best yum cha and modern Asian cuisine on the Sunshine Coast, in my opinion. But also, ask any local and there's a good chance they'll say the same.
With a la carte, banquet, yum cha and bar menus, there’s all kinds of moreish eats up for grabs. It also doubles as a wine bar, so sparkling, sweet and sauvignon options are free-flowing. Not to mention the option for sake sips. I love that Embassy XO is casual and unpretentious, yet slings up some of the best yum cha I've had the pleasure of devouring.

Already loved in Burleigh and Byron Bay, Newcastle and Perth, Light Years Noosa is a modern and distinctly upbeat Asian diner that quickly worked its way into my heart from first visit.
There's a colourful leapord-print feature wall, velvety chairs, tropical fiesta pops and dark navy walls. Just a quick glance at the share-style menu and pretty much everything from the kingfish ceviche with kaffir lime and king prawn rolls with yuzu tartare. To the infamous miso caramel eggplant and panko crumbed fish. I'm also a big fan of the deconstructed spicy Korean fried chicken or eggplant katsu bao, so you can build your own to your liking.
