Zachary's is a place we have been to before when staying in Noosaville. This time we were 'walk…read moreins' on Xmas eve and despite not having made a booking the exceptionally helpful floor staff found us a table for 4. Food came out quicker than they had quoted and was both large in serving size and very tasty. My wife and I shared a large seafood pizza (which was more than plenty for the two of us) and our teenagers had pasta. Both who are fairly picky eaters rated the both the flavour and serving size. One thing to consider if you are hoping for a 'quiet' dinner is that the tile floor and lack of sound deadening means carrying on a conversation when the restaurant is full is very difficult as there is a lot of noise. But if you are looking for some good pizza, pasta, wine then definitely give this great little place a shot. As previously stated, this was not our first visit and am sure it will not be the last.

It was something out of a bad dream to get a table for dinner in Noosa this past rainy weekend. El…read moreCapitano was the 5th spot we tried one night making our way back toward our airbnb and even though they told us there was a 45 min wait I saw "Sgroppino" on the menu and had to take my chances. We sat down to wait and they were able to get us in sooner than they said (big win with a tired 2 year old!) We did not start the evening out being in the mood for Italian but this ended up being one of the best meals we had in Noosa! We sat on the outside patio that has a cute little bench seating for one side and a view of a garden that buffers the tables from the road. Faves of the meal were the Sgroppino, one of the best I have had including in Italy, I can not believe more folks don't know this drink exists and the Cache peppe arancini balls, the perfect flavor for this already fun appetizer. Was happy to see greens on the menu as well, since finding those on vacation can be few and far between and the rocket pear and parmesan salad hit the spot. Service was friendly and fast on a very packed evening and they also have a special at 4pm for kiddos to reward the parents that we wanted to try to make this weekend but will put on the list higher for next time. Also might try to grab a Sgroppino at the bar while I wait for a takeout order and eat the pizza at the beach. Would def come back again!

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.

It's not unexpectedly fairly costly in this premium location, with an extra charge on holidays (common practice around these parts, but notable as that's when people go to the beach). Nonetheless, I managed to avoid this as for some reason didn't put the sign up until after I'd paid. The place was busy, and it's a nicer dining area than average. The pizza itself was notable for the quantity of toppings. The pizza I ordered had pumpkin, artichokes, and sundried tomatoes. I'm not wild about pumpkin, but it was a palatable pizza, and I was full enough to walk all the way around the nearby national park and start my trip back without so much as a hint of hunger. Seeing as how the Sunshine Coast region has yet to catch the vegetarian fever that has spread through Gold Coast and Brisbane, this place is an acceptable option for me.

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.
