MOOLOOLABA RESTAURANTS AND NIGHTLIFE

Experience world-class Mooloolaba dining

Mooloolaba is second to none for restaurant dining on the Sunshine Coast. From beachfront dining, marina waterfront dining and quaint brunch cafes bursting with character, Mooloolaba is a foodie’s playground with something for any mood, craving and occasion.

Mooloolaba Wharf, Mooloolaba Esplanade and Brisbane Road are a few Mooloolaba dining hotspots that shouldn’t be left ignored – especially if dining on holiday is one of your favorite things to do.

The best thing is that these popular dining hubs are situated close together, putting all the best Mooloolaba Esplanade restaurants just a stroll away before, or after, swimming, sunbathing and surfing on Mooloolaba Beach.

The Boat Shed Restaurant

Take the short drive from Mooloolaba to Maroochydore to shop at world-famous Sunshine Plaza, then stop by The Boat Shed Restaurant for another memorable Sunshine Coast dining experience.

The Boat Shed provides casual, yet sophisticated, waterfront dining at the mouth of Maroochy River, with picturesque views across Goat Island and Pincushion Island. The lunch and dinner menu, focused on local produce, is contemporary Australian cuisine at its best, with just a few of its main dishes including pan-fried swordfish, chargrilled lamb rump and south Australian mussels.

For riverfront al fresco dining and some of the best and freshest seafood mains in the region, The Boat Shed shouldn’t go amiss when it’s time for lunch or dinner in Mooloolaba.

Andrew Niebling

We have stayed at the Aegean a couple of times now, its just been repainted on the outside and has got new balcony furniture. The ocean or marina views are great rooms to get, especially in summer as the balcony’s are in the shade from early afternoon onwards. Its a great location right in the heart of Mooloolaba with great views and easy walking distance to everything. The interior rooms are a little dated but

Stayed here for 2 weeks, location is fabulous and unit was spacious and comfortable. The whole complex is clean the pool was great and the spa on our roof top great. Bathroom was a little on the small sign but manageable. The managers are lovely and made us feel quite welcome. We enjoyed our stay and would definately rebook at the Aegean again hopefully

Prof and Mrs Pilsner

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment, which was a perfect size for a family with two teenagers. The location is perfect, with everything you could need within easy walking distance and great views. The apartments are clean, and the shared facilities well maintained. In particular it was great that the pool was heated warm enough that you could swim even in winter – we took advantage of it every day. The private rooftop balcony
