Food scene
Here's a list of my fave spots to eat. Check out their websites or FB pages for opening days and times.
This is a great family owned and run restaurant with fantastic food and service. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a coffee and cake. It's small with friendly staff. It's a family favourite of ours - the kids (and us) love the chicken pies for lunch. Delicious...

A bit more pricey and bookings are essential but you won't be disappointed if you want somewhere special. The degustation menu has three options and well worth trying. Excellent service and delicious food.

This is a MUST visit. The cakes are amazing, but get there early if you want to try one of the savoury baguettes. They sell out very quickly! I promise if you try it once, you'll be back!

A bit of an institution on the coast. The Boat Shed has great food and the location is fantastic. Either eat in or order a drink from the bar, grab a seat under the massive tree and look at the ocean, it's perfect on a Sunday afternoon... the kids will love to climb the big tree...

For quick and delicious take away after a long walk or to take across the road to sit and take in the beautiful Mooloolaba beach, you can't go past Crumbed or Naked. It's a family run business and lots of veggie choices. The wraps are very filling but if you can fit them in, get some chips (normal) or the sweet potato chips - they are so delicious. This is one of our fave take aways....

Great cheap and fast asian food. Fantastic location at the Wharf Mooloolaba but hot tip - get there early as it's not table service and is so popular that the queues can get long on weekends and holiday times. Head upstairs for a balcony seat for a pre dinner drink (4:30 - 5pm) with lovely viewsif you can get a table.

Beautiful flat easy walk to enjoy on a hot day to get out of the sun or rug up in the cooler month. Make sure you look out for the pademelons!
Head into Maleny afterwards for something nice to eat and a wander around the lovely shops.

Want to see the most beautiful view of the coast and not afraid of some exercise? Climb Mount Coolum to watch the sunrise, sunset or anything in between. In summer definitely go early to later in the day as the sun beats down. The view from the top is worth the climb...
