On a Tuesday night in low season, this place is packed. That tells you everything. Sitting on the Noosa River at Gympie Terrace, Gusto has been a Noosaville institution for over two decades, and the current owners Tim and Chloe have spent five years making something already good into something genuinely hard to fault. The menu runs modern Australian with a French lean, built around seasonal local produce. Order the eye fillet if it's on, and do not skip the apple tart with brown sugar ice cream. The wine list is considered without being showy, and the pricing stays honest for the quality. Service is warm and present without hovering. Book ahead, especially for weekends and special occasions. Walk-ins happen, but you're better off not risking it.
Where to even begin! Gusto’s was so fantastic! My partner and I walked past this restaurant and impulsively decided to book for dinner because it looked so beautiful! And it did not disappoint. Gusto’s atmosphere is so stunning, fine elegant dining right along the beach side for a gorgeous view whether you’re dining for lunch or dinner. I do not say this lightly, but this was the best steak (eye fillet) my partner and I have ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, the flavours and balance were perfect. The potatoes were delicious, as well as the green beans and jus. Our server, Christian, was very kind and made the experience more special! He was very welcoming and we enjoyed chatting with him. He recommended the apple tart for dessert and my gosh it was exquisite! I can still taste the brown sugar ice cream that went with it We will certainly be back soon! Highly recommend!
We dined at Gusto Noosa last night for Valentine’s Day, and I now completely understand why they hold such incredible ratings. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The venue itself is stunning right on the Noosa River, relaxed yet refined, with such a beautiful atmosphere. The food, however, was the true standout. We enjoyed a three-course meal with drinks, and every single dish was exceptional. So much flavour, so beautifully balanced, truly one of the best meals I have ever had and one I’ll remember for a long time. The service was equally impressive. Warm, attentive, and genuine without ever feeling overbearing. As small business owners ourselves who pour our hearts into what we do, it was especially meaningful to see the owner so present and involved on the floor, personally engaging with and serving guests. That level of care and leadership shows in every detail. I grew up in Noosa and honestly wish I had dined here years ago. We’re in Noosa for another five days and will absolutely be booking both another dinner and a lunch before we leave. Thank you for such a memorable evening, we’ll be back 🤍

An organic cafe in Noosa Junction with a genuine commitment to seasonal, wholesome food. The acai bowl is generous and unsweetened, the gluten-free waffle is a rare find, and the open, boho fit-out makes it easy to stay longer than planned.

A servo stop on the Eumundi-Noosa Road with enough pumps to keep queues short and a Pie Face counter for a quick hot bite. Useful when you need fuel and something to eat between the hinterland and the highway. Treat it as convenience, not a destination.

5 stars across the board, best food we've had in years! Went for dinner, the waiters were attentive and knowledgeable with great recommendations. The ambience and view of the river lovely. The food was impeccable! We got duck spring rolls to start, Moreton Bay Bugs for dinner with side of carrots and potatos. SO YUM! Those bugs were cooked to perfection! And the apple tarte tatin and bread and butter pudding were the best I've ever had. Lucky we dont live closer or I'd spend all my money eating here! 11/10 Gusto!!
I just had to write a review of the incredible, flavoursome seafood chowder I had. Every mouthful was a wonderful feeling of happiness and warmth. The best I’ve had in all my life. Congratulations chef ♥️ I will return (from Sydney) just for the chowder ❤️ Thank you!!
Gusto‘s at Noosaville was Amazing I took my 86-year-old mum there for a long lunch for her birthday. The staff went above and beyond the atmosphere is amazing. The food the service the outlook the restaurant was packed but still felt very intimate and relaxed not noisy, we sat outside. I can’t recommend this place enough. The staff and the service was five star.

The pork tomahawk alone justifies the drive to Weyba Road. Share plates spanning bold Asian-fusion flavours, a cocktail list with serious non-alcoholic options, and staff who actually know the menu. Book ahead; walk-ups at dinner rarely end well.
