Along with a beautifully put together menu, specialising in local fresh produce, there is a cabinet of house-made sweet treats - many of which are vegan and/or gluten free. The sweet potato brownie that I tried was a standout, especially with the avocado chocolate mousse topping. Vegetarians and vegans would love this place, as would those with food intolerances. The staff are super friendly, the vibe is laid back but passionate about their thing, and the coffee is really excellent. Not only will we be back next time we are anywhere near Caloundra, it's highly likely that we'll actually make a trip up from Brisbane just so that we can brunch here!

We booked online choosing a 7:45 table & arrived on time. We were greeted pleasantly & had option of tables. Place had been clearly busy earlier but was now quieter. We ordered drinks & meal which were perfectly acceptable, the lady in charge asked us if we had enough food & if we wanted anything further then be aware the kitchen would close in 20 minutes. All good we said, she advised if we wanted desert that would be no issue. Fast track to about 8:15pm - dinner finished, lady in charge left for night as did the kitchen team. We'd enjoyed the meal & fancied another drink. So using the app on the table we ordered drinks $25. As we did this around us the team left started packing up. Chairs were put up around us. There were others still in restaurant but they were on a mission. We sat a while & eventually we approached the bar - we ordered drinks?! We were accused on not & had to prove we had. The girl we approached was very accusational & clearly on a promise. When we showed her the transaction on our card she v begrudgingly conceded! She ripped the order disc off our table & plonked the drinks down when ready! Should point out it was 8:30 & restaurant was due to close at 9pm. So, trust me we won't be back! Shame as it's a nice little restaurant & acceptable but not outstanding food but service was appalling! Should never ever pack up & put chairs on table when clientele still dining! Why oh why?!

If I had come with a bigger appetite, I probably would have opted for their "banquet", a menu option where the restaurant chooses seven shared dishes for your table to taste and share ($35/pp). All the dishes here are so colorful and beautifully presented; I wanted to try everything! I ended up sharing a few dishes with my boyfriend, including: - Orange Sesame Cauliflower Nibbles - tasty, crispy bites of cauliflower. This was a great starter to kick off the meal, though on my last bite, the orange sesame flavor built up a bit and was slightly too salty. - Humble Burger (with added turmeric kimchi slaw and avocado) - I loved this. Although a monster to bite, this burger packed a punch with its flavors. I especially enjoyed the bit of spice from the turmeric kimchi, which was recommended by our waitress. - Thai red curry - a fantastic, slightly sweet curry with a side of fragrant basmati rice. You wouldn't even realize the jackfruit isn't meat! This dish was both appetizing and filling. - Golden Mylk - Elixiba's version of turmeric latte. Lovely and warming turmeric drink. All in all, a delicious meal. There were several dishes passing our table that caught my eye - if I'm ever the area again, I would love to try their other offerings!

Rice Boi on the Sunshine Coast delivers a really enjoyable dining experience with bold flavours and…read morewell-presented dishes. The ramen was rich and comforting, with a deep, savoury broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and generous toppings like soft-boiled egg, tender pork, and fresh greens. The sides were just as good -- crispy, light, and paired with a tasty dipping sauce that added a nice kick. Another standout was the curry-style dish, which was creamy, aromatic, and balanced nicely with fresh herbs and tender meat. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is that some dishes felt just a little on the pricey side, but the quality mostly justifies it. Overall, Rice Boi is a great spot for flavour-packed Asian-inspired food and is definitely worth a visit if you're on the Sunshine Coast.

Had a Betty's Double and went all in and added an extra patty…read more Firstly it presented excellently... crispish fatty bacon protruding from under the top, soft, firm looking bun with layers of perfectly cooked patties and cheese and juices oozing down the side. I'm starting to salivate thinking about it. I dive straight in. And damn! It, was, good! It tasted just like a beef cheese burger should ... juicy and fragrant, just mouthfuls of joy. Best. Couldn't control myself and plowed on in hard, plucking bits of bacon off the other side as some kind of palette cleanser. I was frothing, kinda cross eyed, my ocd of wiping my mouth was going berserk. However I went in too hard and too fast and faltered around 3/4 of the way through. I could not finish! I chose to have death chomps at the burger edges remaining in an attempt to keep the joy alive but I was done. Dead and bloated. Fortunately the remains of this now mini slider were put in the fridge and I was able to reminisce and relive the moment the next day. 5/5 Betty's burgers! Best burger in Noosa Heads!

Being in the market for a quick lunch, and not really eager to go the mall food court route, I was…read morehappy to stumble upon this second location for the Tibetan/Nepalese/Sherpa restaurant whose first, downtown location I've been eyeing for a while. The menu is appealing, diverse, and vegetarian-friendly (even marked for vegan items). The setting was also quite pleasant and well-decorated. What I tried was the somar tofu curry, which virtually every person who has reviewed any iteration of this restaurant anywhere online seems to recommend. The crowd isn't wrong either; the flavor starts with lemon, but takes a journey to a spicy, sweet, and sour place that isn't quite like anything else I've tried. How a restaurant purporting to be from a mountain region near the equator ends up with a lemon-flavored coconut curry I have no idea, but if they're making it, I'll eat it. That being said, it was hard to sway me off of ordering chickpeas and fried bread, and I may find myself at this or the other location to try some more things soon.

Thank God for Tibetan Kitchen in Toowong, that's all I can say…read more I've been a big fan of TK for, oh, fifteen years now, since I first discovered their incredible prawn dish, Jhinge Maccha al Raduwa (I'm SURE I spelled that wrong...). Which is still my favourite prawn dish anywhere, and actually until recently the only thing I'd ever ordered here. (Although have heard amazing things about the somar tofu curry and really want to try that next.) But yesterday I was craving Vietnamese pho. Like, CRAVING it. So I got on deliveroo thinking it wouldn't be an issue but... apparently there are hardly any Vietnamese places in Toowong?? And the ones that were delivering were charging $18-$20 for a bowl of noodle soup... WTF?? But then I noticed, luckily, that TK does a dish I'd never tried--thukpa noodle soup, for only $13. They also had calamari, which is what my kid had requested. So we went for it. I was so glad we did. The noodle soup was absolutely delicious. It was fresh, citrusy (lemongrass I think?), and delicious. It seemed very healthy too - kind of a tomato-ey broth with some chicken and rice noodles and herbs. Yum. The calamari was ok. I wouldn't have ordered it if it was me--I never order deepfried dishes for delivery because they always go soggy--but my son enjoyed it. This should really only be a 4.5 star review though. A few things could improve. First, the "raita" that was supposed to come with the calamari was just straight-up mayonnaise. Who would confuse raita with mayo?? Not cool! Second: the soup was packed in the same container as the noodles, which meant that the noodles were getting soggy and overcooked. I would have packed the noodles and fresh herbs separately from the soup broth, so that everything stays perfect: piping hot soup, and perfectly chewy noodles. The soup itself was great, but I found it really, really benefited from the addition of more fresh herbs. Luckily I had some coriander and mint in the fridge, and when I tore these over the bowl and spritzed over some fresh lime, it made the dish about a million times better. I also added the shredded cabbage and carrots that came with the calamari, and that really elevated the whole thing too. The whole dish could really be improved by packing some herbs, shredded cabbage, maybe finely sliced red onion and a lime quarter in a container with the noodles and then packing the broth separately. I reckon if they did that I'd be ordering that soup on a weekly basis. Maybe it could even replace my pho obsession....
