Truly the best.

We were so thrilled. They told us the menu was two days old but it was very very good. I got the seafood spaghetti and barramundi. Highly recommend it.

Drinks were prepared and served with minimal delay - wine list is great. Food ordered and had a bit of a wait as it was busy - well worth it. All the food choices were exceptional- lamb was melt in mouth and tasty. Deserts were great as well- coffee and cheese were a bit pricey but you got quality. Overall a beautiful setting overlooking river, with a beautiful meal.

My boyfriend enjoyed his beer, and our absolutely amazing server (maybe waiter here) helped him choose. Our server/ waiter also mentioned the pork belly dish was the not popular, which led to us ordering it- which we wouldn't have ordered if he hadn't mentioned it. It was crispy, with nice melt in your mouth fat and soft juicy meat in the middle. It was served with a nice sausage (I forget what it was actually called) and garlic potatoes. This was my favorite. We also had a cheese board with Brie, fig jam, garlic pâté, special croutons, pepper crackers, fruit paste, pickles, green apple and green olives with sun dried tomatoes- this is the less detailed description. Probably one of the best cheese boards I've had. We also had thin, I think shaved sweet potato crisps that I've never had anywhere else! On top of our delicious food we really think the service is what made the night extra special! 5/5

Beautiful, juicy steak served with the secret recipe mash and steamed vege, topped with avo, Camembert and a magnificent champagne lime hollandaise sauce. The mash was a revelation also. So tasty! Very big meal and we took home pavlova too! Very happy with this establishment. Had wonderful service (from a cute waiter, no less!) and was well priced for the meals on offer.

This is a fabulous Italian restaurant hidden off the main restaurant beaten track in Noosaville…read more Lots of Italian accented english spoken (the Owner is Milan Italian by birth) which is always a great sign, and the Staff are very friendly. Access to the Restaurant is via the same parking area for the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club. It is beside the Noosa River and definitely worth the hunt. If you can, ask for a table by the river. Optically You will be sitting almost on the water and if you are there for lunch, there will be the pleasure of watching small pleasure boats go by. If you are there at night, the outside trees are lit up with 'fairy lights' and the reflections of those and the water are equally enchanting. The Menu was very interesting, authentically Italian and features house made pasta. The Restaurant is fully licensed with no BYO. Wine list was also approved of by my wine knowledgable german husband. Again there were four of us at dinner that night. The food was simply prepared with excellent fresh ingredients. For example, the Chef was not happy with the Burrata cheese delivered to him that day, so with my permission, substituted the Mozzarella on my Burrata E Insalata Estiva. It still worked very well with the rest of the dish and was delicious. The two men had the Polipo in Insalata and it was a big hit. It certainly looked very appetising...I liked that it the octopus tentacle was served "coiled" on top of smaller pieces of Octopus and warm potato salad on the plate..and it was finished off with kalamata olives, caper berriesand beautifully decorated with fresh herbs and flowers...I personally have never seen that coiled presentation before and it looked wonderful. The other Entree was the Trota Marinata al Tea. The Petuna ocean trout had been 'cerviched' in the citrus and tea marinade and was also pronounced delicious. Lots of appreciative noises made all round. Chosen as Main courses were 2 times the Fettuccine allo Scoglio based on house made pasta with generous seafood in a reduced Napoli sauce, one time the Tortelloni de Zucca which I had and really enjoyed. The texture of the pumpkin puree was perfect and the pumpkin used by Chef was nutty , sweet and beautifully seasoned. Again a very generous serving of 8 pieces and i ended up taking what i could not finish that night home with me. Sadly, my husband could not say the same about his Quadrati Neri al Granchio. It was a very small serving ,more like a antipasti sizing but charged at what we considered a Main course price and he was left feeling , as the Australians say, 'short changed' and hungry. So on to the 3 times Dolce! The Zabaglione Pannacotta , the Crostata Al Cioccolato and my Semi Freddo all Frutta were again very prettily served with flowers to garnish. I did n t fancy the marinated Pineapple carpaccio on mine and Chef kindly substituted Lychees which also complemented the Semi freddo. Both the Mango and the Coconut shone through, the short bread base was nutty and crisp and it was truly scrumptious! Like the Zabaglione, I also liked the presentation on rustic pottery plates. We eat with our eyes too and beautiful presentation was a constant throughout the whole meal. This is an elegant and sophisticated restaurant in seaside Noosa and is to be commended. I can see why many Brides choose this as their Wedding Reception venue.

The platter is huge, with oysters (probably the best item), clams, mussels, Moreton Bay Scallops, calamari with halloumi (probably the best non-fried calamari I've ever had), prawns (huge and very tasty), shoestring potatoes and a few other things that I don't remember but certainly enjoyed. Also, given their Tasmanian roots, some of the seafood is unique to La Vida rather than what you see at the other restaurants. This platter is definitely worth one of your evenings in Noosa.

Up at Noosa Moreton Bay Bugs are a joy to behold, if you can find somewhere that be holdin' them. Problem is most places want to show off with my little guys and put them in a ravioli or turn them into some kind of foam or do something weird with them so that they aren't bugs any more. Not this place. It used to be called Lindonis I think - thats probably why I am the first to review it. Fact is its been here for twenty years, but for my 200th review I am happy to declare this place serves the best bugs this side of a dirty Chinese kitchen. BBQ'd with garlic and dill butter. Thats all. And eight, yep eight of the little bottom feeders! It takes very good chef to know that the produce is the star and not the cook. I remember an old mate once told me that in French cuisine the chef is the star and in Italian the food is the star. Here the bugs are the stars. We shared a plate of crumbed calarmari and a plate of veggies, which, because this place is classy, was called a 'stack'. The calarmari was sensational, even though it looked like the sort of meal you'd get at a suburban Pizza joint. I asked why they were so good and the owner told me they were fresh caught, marinated in kiwi fruit for just long enough to tenderise them but not so long as to cook them and that the crumb was a special Japanese technique known only to direct descendants of the Samurai Emperor Bugsansei. And I believe her. Left my phone at home 'cos up here you eat in boardies - your good ones for upmarket places and your old faves for the other places.

I received my spicy bean pattie with some eagerness.

And it was pretty pricey for lunch. That being said, I can't count how many touristy places I've been and wished I could get a nice filling and interesting bean dish, and the bean pattie itself delivered what I wanted. Between that, and eating in an open garden in mountain air, I felt generous enough to rate them well. I could definitely have tried other things on that menu.
