La Canteena

The Verdict

So this place may remind some peeps of Mexico, and you wouldn’t be wrong.

But we can’t help be taken to somewhere a little closer to home—to the back alleyways of Melbourne.

Tucked away off Ocean Street, in one of the coolest courtyards on the Sunshine Coast, La Canteena’s high walls and black cast-iron entryway will make you feel like you’re sinking sangria in the city. Except you’re not.

Head here for a weekend escape when you want to chill the f out to a DJ spinning tunes, icy-cold cocktails, and some seriously moreish eats. Yep, these guys do epic tacos and nachos. And their wings? Next-level.
