Book a table for 4.30pm and you'll catch the sunset over the Noosa River through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the light shifting while you work through the oysters with pickled ginger vinaigrette. That's the move. Ricky's sits on the water at Quamby Place, and the room earns its elegance without trying too hard: chandeliers, soft lighting, a view that does most of the work. The crab spaghetti is the dish multiple reviewers single out, and the blue swimmer crab brioche makes a strong case for starting there. The degustation handles dietary restrictions with genuine care. Service is warm and attentive on most nights, though a few reviewers note it can thin out when the room fills. Expensive, yes, but the quality and setting make the bill feel honest. A ferry runs to Hastings Street from the restaurant, worth knowing before you order that last glass.

What People Say

We enjoyed the degustation at Ricky's Noosa and had a wonderful experience overall. As someone who doesn’t eat meat or eggs, I was genuinely appreciative of how accommodating the team was with thoughtful menu changes which made the evening feel relaxed and welcoming from the start. The food was beautiful across the board. The first dish was scallops, while they were perfectly cooked, the pesto-style sauce was a little dominant and didn’t quite allow the scallops to be the hero of the dish. That said, the overall quality and presentation were excellent and I'd happily have the crab and risotto again. What really made the night special was the combination of things: warm, engaging service, stunning food, and an absolutely perfect view and atmosphere. A memorable night and one we’d happily return for.

There’s a few upscale restaurants in the noosa area and Ricky’s has unfortunately been missed on our hit list for quite some time. We finally made our way around and I’m so glad we did. The service was attentive, the menu touched on all the goodies and the cocktails were dressed up for the ball of the season. The oysters were fresh and the pickled ginger vinaigrette, which I was hesitant about, was actually all the rave! For seafood lovers, the blue swimmer crab brioche is a perfect snack to wet the appetite. The whole roasted baby barramundi is something to write home about. The steaks were lovely and perfectly cooked, medium rare. Definitely going to put Ricky’s in our regular restaurant rotation.

The 24-hour drive-thru on the Homemaker Centre strip. It's McDonald's: the menu is what you know, the price is low, and it's one of the few things open past midnight in Noosaville. Check your order at the window.
Bang Bang Noosa

People queue before noon. The garlic chive miang and sticky pork belly are the reasons. Share plates, serious cocktails, and a feed-me banquet that earns its price. Book Thursday through Saturday well in advance or you won't get in.
Depot Noosa
Noosaville QLD
The chilli crab scrambled eggs, loaded with fresh crab, coriander, and mint, are the standout at this busy Noosaville cafe with river views. Solid across breakfast and lunch, genuinely warm service, and QR ordering that actually speeds things up rather than frustrating you.
