Sunshine Coast Restaurants

The Sunshine Coast version of 'dining out' used to mean grabbing some fish and chips from the local takeaway and setting yourself up on the closest beach. However, thanks to a food revolution that's taken place in this lovely beachside region north of Brisbane, there are now a wide range of Sunshine Coast restaurants on offer featuring everything from fresh local seafood cooked to perfection as well as fine dining establishments that offer gastronomical journeys of culinary excellence. Although fish and chips are still a quintessential part of any holiday to the Sunshine Coast, you can now choose to eat them off paper or monogrammed fine bone china.
