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 had a quick lunch here yesterday and loved it, so I booked for our last night of holidays tonight. Both the food and service were amazing. We went with some of the recommendations from our waiter, who was friendly and full of knowledge. Standout was the lobster Taco and Lomo de Res. My only fault is we didn't come sooner. See you on our next holiday!
