We couldn't finish it and we tried really hard. Thank God the man serving us was kind enough to stop me from ordering an entrée dish, he reassured me that I would have more than enough to eat and I was wise to I listen to him. So basically unless you want to take away your food at the end of your meal, this giant seafood platter is more than enough for two people without anything else. The service was great too, very attentive even though they can get quite busy later in the night. I would recommend going there early, we were there around 6pm and our food came out really fast. Overall really liked it I would definitely come here again if I'm in the area.

The Menu is modern Australian featuring the very freshest of local vegetables and ingredients and the fish is particular is wonderful. There were three of us there for lunch on a beautiful day...The skies were blue, not too hot. The Noosa River was sparkling and we were spoiled for choice from a big menu offering. The Staff were very friendly and obliging re my food allergies and we had a perfect lunch. For those of you who are are Gluten Free, the Chef will accomodate you! Many thanks and hats off to Philip and his team!! I was delighted by the fact that all the Mains were served with enough vegetables or salads so you did not have to order side dishes. You could, but it was not necessary. And Yes, I am criticising here many Noosa restaurants who seem to think it is ok to charge big prices for a piece of protein sitting lonely on a plate with just a garnish of a 'green' herb, necessitating you having to order at least one to two 'sides' of green vegetable/potato or chips at an additional $8 to 10 a bowl!

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. Keeno has some photos which the kids may be able to upload to this review. I shouldn't even try or I will break something.

Most of the town was closed up but Hop & Vine on the second level of a centrally located spot on Hastings St happily served us. I had the vegetarian fried rice (yummy fresh scallions, Chinese veggies, mushrooms, peas) and partner had two buns and the tuna steak with salad. Portions were just right. Server also seemed to be the owner/manager and talked our ears off about some random topics (AMEX business fees, nature walks in the area, the last few places he vacationed abroad).

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.
