Peregian Beach Hotel

The Verdict

Salty breezes, a sprawling deck, live music and some of the best eats on the Sunshine Coast, Peregian Beach Hotel is the laidback restaurant and bar you’ll want to make your local. A short stroll from the beach, sandy bodies are welcome around here and it’s this casual atmosphere that keeps us coming back for more. And then, there’s the food. Cue all of the heart-eye emojis we can muster. 

From a range of mouth-watering tapas and share plates—the fried green olives with fetta and a smoked pepper aioli are the perfect place to start—to curries, pastas and burgers (lunch only), PBH covers all bases. But what’s the dish we can’t go past every time we visit? Hands down it’s gotta be the wood-fired garlic, parsley and mozzarella pizza…put simply we haven’t had one better. Anywhere.
