Drawing heavily on Italian tradition, Locale Noosa offers a seasonally changing menu using the best in local produce and premium imported ingredients. Surrounded by lush gardens, Locale Noosa sits in a protected corner of Hastings Street just a few steps from the golden sands of Noosa Main Beach. Our seasonal menu features handmade pasta, traditional italian antipasti and desserts alongside an impressive selection of wines, beers and cocktails.

    Went here for dinner with husband and our 8 year old daughter. The service was outstanding, considerate, but not overly familiar. The food we ate was amazing. My husband had the gazpacho and the risotto - It was the best risotto we’d ever tasted! Cooked to perfection and so flavoursome! I had the anchovies and the tagliatelle- again, could not fault! Our daughter had the kids pasta - she devoured it and moved onto our meals too! Loved the atmosphere in the restaurant - we ate inside - it was lovely, dark, calming and cool. Can’t wait to visit again!

    As there are only two of us, we always sit at the Bar, which to us is the best position as you get to watch the masters at mixing all the wonderful Cocktails. Highly recommend, we are locals and everytime we dine here, we are never disappointed.
