Cafes & Dining
Mooloolaba Esplanade "Eat Street" Beach Style

Mooloolaba’s restaurants & cafes with wide walkways & alfresco dining, creating the perfect place to soak up the summer sun when you decide you’ve had enough of the beach.

For breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, Mooloolaba’s Esplanade is buzzing with people & the aromas of food & coffee abound as you browse the tantalizing menus on the sidewalk, find a table, relax & order your meal & drinks. It’s a fabulous place to sit back & watch the world wander by with the ocean backdrop sparkling across to Point Cartwright & beyond. It really is a slice of Paradise with a real holiday atmosphere where locals & visitors gather & mingle.

Along the beachfront Esplanade at Mooloolaba, tucked in the arcades & down the side streets, there are so many great cafes & restaurants to choose from with their own signature dishes, ambience & flavours from around the world. The key to good food is in the discovery, so let your taste buds go wild & experience a range of dining options while you are staying in Mooloolaba.

As Sunshine Coast Locals, we've dined at just about every cafe & restaurant in Mooloolaba at one time or another (we actually held our wedding reception at one of Mooloolaba’s finest restaurants!). So we know firsthand no matter where you choose to eat, you are in for a real treat!

With the Mooloolah River winding its way in from the ocean through the Mooloolaba Harbour, we also have access to some of the best seafood you’ll find on the East Coast of Australia.

Follow Parkyn Parade to the end of The Spit & taste test our deliciously fresh seafood right from the source. Whether it’s simply fish & chips on the beach, or prawns, scallops, calamari, oysters, crab, Moreton Bay bugs, lobster or a fresh piece of snapper, mahi mahi or whiting cooked just the way you like it, you’ll be impressed by the local seafood straight off the trawler—you can’t get fresher than that!.

Mooloolaba—it’s Australian for YUM!
