Sunshine CoastTravel guide

Sunshine Coast food and drink

With so many choices of where to eat along the Sunshine Coast, you could easily spend your whole holiday eating your way through esplanade cafes, beachfront restaurants, and health food pop-ups. The region has exceptional world cuisine, with mouthwatering Italian and modern Asian dishes prominent on many menus.  If your meal hasn’t come straight from Sunshine Coast waters, then it’s probably Australian-grown or sourced from fruit and vegetable farms in the region or gardens onsite at the restaurant. Sunny coasters take pride in their home, with many local chefs drawing inspiration from the region’s produce and landscapes.

Food precincts

Head to Noosa's Hastings Street by day for smoothies, ice-cream and fine-dining, and by night for a peaceful stroll along the fairy light-lined streets. For dinner, make your way to Noosa Heads, a seafood hot-spot, where you can enjoy Mooloolaba prawns, North Queensland reef fish, and Moreton Bay bugs. If you're looking for something a little more low-key, walk the stylish strip of Alexandra Headland, home to a diversity of take-away shops, friendly cafes, and great seafood restaurants.
