The only kind of "Bulli" I like! (Ha ha ha) while passing through Noosa on our way toward Brisbane, I was dying for some lunch - preferably something that wasn't heavy and greasy like the fish and chips I'd been ingesting on the regular. I found Bulli with a Google search and after browsing a couple of menu options decided to go for it.
Nestled off the main road facing the park and beach access, Bulli stood out with its industrial architecture with pops of color from the cute sidewalk table decor. The menu is small but straightforward - breakfast was up on a chalkboard and lunch items were set up in the refrigerated display case. I chose a roasted vegetable toastie, my husband picked a breakfast toastie with egg, bacon & cheese, a chorizo tart to share, and we also asked for a small salad with a small serving of each of the 3 salads on display to be able to sample each one. For some liquid caffeine we ordered a short black.
Both toasties were excellent. Fresh ingredients, warmed through and toasted to perfection. The chorizo tart was different than I had expected - it was similar to a slice of quiche with lots of eggs. The chorizo was more similar to a sausage than the crumbly, greasy chorizo we're used to at home, but it was tasty nonetheless. The 3 salad "samples" arrived in separate bowls - not sure if it was a mistake but the portions were way bigger than expected so we were definitely feasting well for under $40! The short black my husband ordered was divine. For all the Americans reading this who don't know what I'm talking about, a short black is essentially just a shot of espresso. It came in a tiny mug and the shot itself was complex, rich and creamy.
Definitely go out of your way and visit Bulli if you're near Noosa! Get a takeaway coffee, go across the street and hoof it down to the beach when you're done eating. Perfect spot! read more
