About the restaurant
Located in The Crocodile Hunter Lodge, Warrior Restaurant & Bar is a unique dining experience you won’t want to miss. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, our menu’s identity is derived from the classical techniques of the world with the modernisation that is Australian cooking. Recipes are influenced by the unique produce that Australia has to offer, in a celebration of our region. The Chefs at Warrior spend their time sourcing beautiful local ingredients to create these dishes. Paying homage to the First Nation people and the plant life they have been utilising for thousands of years, we at Warrior endeavour to take these earthy flavours and pair them with the fresh produce of our neighbouring farms.

We had a lovely family dinner. Our small child was well catered for and was made to feel very welcome (not a hindrance like some restaurants do!) The food was all local and fabulously tasty!

About the restaurant
European Bar & Restaurant

Specialises in honest and uncomplicated European cuisine done well, Belgian beers, European wines, classic and house made cocktails.

Chef Alex Hughes honours our European traditions whilst celebrating the beautiful premium local produce that the Sunshine Coast has to offer.

"The interior alone is timeless, effortlessly sexy and does a fine job of solidifying this place as somewhere you’ll totally want to hang out. Basically, if we were to rate this place on the atmosphere alone, we’d be dishing up a big, fat 10."

We are an intimate venue with one chef serving Modern Australian with flavours and spices from the Middle East & Mediterranean. If you are here for a quick meal, that's not us, we are not just a vehicle for food but a dining experience so allow 2hrs-2.5 hours to dine with us.

We are a small intimate venue, so book ahead to avoid disappointment.
You can dine on either of our set menus which will consist of a range of snacks, a large dish to share with your choice of add-ons.

We take groups of up to 6 guests & children dine on the same menu at the same cost, groups above 6 will dine on our Chef's Choice menu. If you would like to enquire about a group larger than 6 please email info@humbleonduke.com.au.

I last came here two years ago and the food is still so good. The seafood was super fresh and delicious. The position right by the ocean is perfect. Book early for a table near the sea. Such a special place
