Magical Mooloolaba is the perfect combination of sophisticated serenity and vibrant energy. The beach gleams under the pulsing sun, and sparkling sapphire water beckons swimmers, surfers, bodyboarders and casual waders alike.

4. Spice Bar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 936 reviews
Reviewed By Janelle R - Sunshine coast
first tip is try and book ahead and get a table outside for a group or at least one with a view. Lovely restaurant with well versed staff knowing the ins and outs of the menu. have been before and this time went for a slightly smaller degustation menu as only 2 of us. My favourite betel leaf was still on menu as were the delicious scallops. All in all a lovely way to spend an evening tasting morsels of great dishes finished with finesse and experience rather than a meal. To be honest by the end of eating i wouldn't have cared less about a view, but it a nice way to start with drinks. Also has a sit up bar.
Will go again.

This is our local Thai restaurant. Have been going there for years. Food is always excellent and fresh with fun staff. Meals can be as Thai spicy as you want. Particularly enjoy Green Chicken Curry and chill stir fry. Price is always good value and it is BYO with no additional charges for corkage. Always busy with a great vibe.

Have been here two years ago and were blown away with the service and seafood menu. This time my wife has a strict diet and cannot have all foods. The owner went out of his way to organise the perfect supplement to her order of the snapper fillet. I had the menu snapper and both dishes were amazing.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience dining at Cala Luna. The service was impeccable, the seafood was local and delicious and their range of meals was extensive. We had the Moreton Bay Bug and Veal Scallopini. Both meals were good size and full of flavour.
Would definitely come back again if I was in the area.

10. The Velo Project

Reviewed By Steven Z
Where do the locals go in Mooloolaba for breakfast? Well I can tell you a fair few go to 'The Velo Project' and for good reason...
Tucked a few streets away from the Esplanade this funky local treat is one of the best cafe's to have a healthy clean breakfast in Mooloolaba. You know its good if the locals eat there! This place has a real 'paddock to plate' feel about it.
We ordered the 'Twisted Sister' and the 'Wild at heart' breakfast dishes. Drinks we had a Double Piccolo, weak Latte and later we took away a Detox juice on our way out.
Meals were well portioned, well presented and extremely tasty. Coffee's were the best we had in Mooloolaba. Everything was well priced and staff were excellent.
Will definitely go back and strongly recommend. 5 stars.
