Sails Restaurant Noosa - Crab lasagne

I've enjoyed every meal in Noosa but Sails was the best. Service was friendly and although a…read morelittle noisy great ambiance, with good views of the beach. Started with the fig salad, which was fantastic. The nutty bread that came with it was surprisingly impossible not to eat and all the flavors came together well. Had a sand crab as my main. Never had one before so not sure what to compare with but I was really impressed how flavorful it was, had a charred grill taste as well as buttery. Plentiful meat. The accompanying greens were also nice, with apple and walnuts giving it some layers. Overall, truly enjoyed this meal.

Okay let's get this out in the open...the view, it's amazing! You are right on the beach…read more Now for the rest: The location: Parking is a nightmare in the area...and you require a reservation or you wont get in. The Food: It was 'eh' at best but was priced like it had a Michelin star... a bit ridiculous. We had a starter a tempura something, which was good because let's be honest add tempura and you can't go wrong. For mains we had a seafood pasta (I'll put up a picture too) it looks amazing but the pasta was overcooked and ended up congealing into one pasta lump, the seafood was okay but not really cooked well, or rather way over cooked. They even gave me a mussel that didn't open, so you couldn't eat it, I'm paying for protein but I couldn't even eat it?!?! Anyway I'd say, while the view is stunning you would do well to go somewhere with better food and just walk on the beach for the view.

Some of the best discoveries are unexpected. One such example, is Locale, an Italian Restaurant on…read more62 Hastings St Noosa. Exploring, & popping in for lunch drawn to its gorgeous upscale fit-out. Clean lines, Lots of dark wood, incandescent lighting, ceiling fans, retractable ceiling, and prominent surrounding plants and rock face. Ambience is relaxed, a nice way to have lunch. Service is excellent. Friendly, and ever-present, without being overbearing. Lunch Menu is divided into share plates ("Cicchetti"), Mains ("Pranzo"), as well as Salads & Pizza. Cicchetti & Pranzo prices ranged from $8-23, and $18 - $38 respectively. Start with some amazing sweet potato & pumpkin Gnocchi ($8), with buffalo ricotta, rosemary & sage cream. Unique & divine, available only at lunch. Follow it up with prosciutto & sage wrapped scallops with lemon parsley oil ($8). Another top-notch starter. Continue the gourmet experience with a Filetto di pesce. Snapper with Sicilian green olives, crispy kipfler potatoes, artichoke, white wine & saffron brodetto. Round off with some organic Acquerello Carnaroli saffron risotto, Moreton bay bug, & Gympie baby zucchini. Both mains, are "Wow"! But wait, there's more. If you have room for dessert, go straight to the heavens with the Bombolini. A hazelnut chocolate crème patissiere centred Italian doughnut, praline, & vanilla bean gelato. Add some Valrhona Chocolate fondant, cherry coulis heart, with Saffron gelato, & you have just completed one extraordinary lunch, both in taste & experience. Locale is a must-try if you want to treat yourself, to modern & upscale Italian cuisine. Definitely one of Noosa's gems on Hastings St. Open daily from 12pm.

Having read Jad's review we decided to try Locale for lunch - and weren't we glad we did. The whole…read moreexperience was a complete delight. Service was efficient without being obtrusive from the moment we entered until the time we left two hours later. We started by sharing a couple of entrees, the pork belly which was served with a quince sauce, and the porcini and béarnaise croquettes which matched perfectly with the capers served with them. We followed with a couple of pizzas, the ham, mushroom, olive and red onion for me and the hot salami for Liz - we were warned that the salami one was hot but the balance was perfect, just a slight chilli aftertaste that did not leave a burning sensation in the mouth. We only ate half the pizzas (they boxed up the rest and we'll have them for supper tonight) as we wanted to make sure we had room for dessert. And what beautiful desserts they were! I had the limoncello pannacotta whilst Liz had the tiramisu - the menu suggested that the tiramisu was deconstructed, but the waitress made sure we knew that before accepting the order - and both desserts were absolutely heavenly. We finished up with a glass of limoncello each and an espresso, and walked out very well satisfied clutching our pizza box for supper. Cost? Our food cost $92 and we spent another $80 on drinks - which we felt was well worth it.
