bistro c beachside restaurant & bar

ticks all the boxes. location , service , child friendly, good food, all adds up to a good experience. there are not too many places in hasting street with this location, and while thefoodis not 5 star the service and location balance it all out and you walk away satisfied. you still get a $10 breakfast on the beach, awsome.

this is a great spot on the main drag in noosa. views right onto the beach make it a special occasion restaurant. we celebrated our great aunt's 95th birthday. the bread is obviously house made, although the roasted garlic with the olive oil was perhaps a little over done. fresh oysters were spot on with a little wedge of lemon and dressing on the side. mains of pork belly and barramundi/scallops were interesting and delicious. the fish with pureed carrot and the pork with celeriac puree, jus and salsa verde. priced at the high end / fine dining level, but the views andfoodare worth it. great for a special occasion.

i'm on struggle street summarising our special occasion lunch experience here. it was mostly suboptimal...but i'd still consider returning because thefooditself was outstanding. and the scenic beachside possie nearly offset the issues we had.

the good: our meals were spanner crab & jalapeño tostada; lemon thyme grilled chicken thigh fillet; fraser isle spaghettini; and spanish seafood pan. we all enjoyed these immensely. our bff found the balance of her tostada a bit off-kilter, with the delicate spanner crab overwhelmed by the other components. still loved it though. one small criticism out of 4 dishes is a good strike rate.

the bad: seriously the service was awful. we adored the cocktails but waiting at least 20 minutes for each round of them when there's soooo many bar staff is bullshit. similar (if not longer) wait for a single beer: which was handed over without a glass, was the wrong beer and which we were still weirdly expected to accept. after a few other glitches along the way, we actually called bs on the whole service situation & the lady owner(?) seemed receptive & promised our local friends a voucher for free cocktails.....a fair outcome.

there were a number of large functions in the dining room at the same time as us. fabulous! celebrate away! but the general ambience suffered. i literally couldn't hear myself think over the echoey din.

the ugly: bleeding eardrums aside, we sat through the clumsy service to wait for dessert but it wasn't offered. no sweets for you! coolio, there's plenty of other places on hastings st with less be-dazzlers & daytime rhinestones.

had the service been on par with the meals, this would be a much higher score. disappointing.

the service was fantastic with a very attentive waiter and friendly. thefoodwas very good. shared the spaghetti marinara as an entree followed by some mains to share. shared salmon, confit duck leg and the rib eye. all were really good. duck had asian salad, salmon was on a corn salsa and steak on a creamy mash. recommend here for dinner. accomodating for children although restaurant is on the fine dining side. kids menu is good with mocktails for them as well.

great food, terrible waiter.. a picture perfect day in noosa,foodand wine festival weekend, let's try bistro c for lunch. we were given an incredible table, seated by a professional and friendly waitperson. so far, so good. unfortunately the male waiter that took over our table was surly and arrogant. he was efficient but sarcastic, and even a little offensive. however thefoodwas cooked to perfection and delivered with a smile by a lovely young girl. will return but hopefully never see this waiter again.

dined here tonight. busy and well located on the beach. staff appear overworked and had to ask waiters to take orders as we seemed to be ignored.foodtasty enough but not everyone wants to eat dishes with 10 cloves of garlic or over oily food. our main fish dish was a portuguese style stew. it was literally swimming in oil. also hard to see what was small pieces of fish or garlic.
our friends seem to like this place but in my opinion the dishes need to change so there is less garlic and oil.

i absolutely love this place - such greatfoodand coffee, amazing view and really accommodating with kids. will always visit when up at noosa! yum!

> 2x corn & chive griddle cake with grilled bacon, baby spinach, avocado salsa, roasted tomato, balsamic syrup and pulled pork & sweet potato hash with poached eggs, apple cider + bacon jam, green apple + herb slaw, candied chili <

another beautiful day another yummy dish! noosa have some good treasures for breakfast and our mission is to check them all out!! bistro c is definitely a popular place for all dayfoodas it is always a struggle to grab a table! nonetheless, thefoodis very delicious and generous in size. the corn and chive griddle cake is nothing like anything we've ever tasted before! it was absolutely delicious and we will be definitely going back to demolish it again! the pulled pork and sweet potato hash was also an incredible dish that we devoured- it had such interesting flavours and every element complemented each other so perfectly

qualityfoodwith a view. one of the standouts on hastings street. fantasticfoodand drink options with a beautiful view over noosa main beach. the seafood spaghetti dish is a ripper.

a bit torn on this one.... some of thefoodwas good, some was great. the service was efficient but lacking any personality, the tables are so crowded together we felt like sheep herded into a pen. the standout were definitely the cocktails, best i have had by far. my daughters both tried a few different ones and were very pleased. they all looked spectacular. overall not sure...

bistro c never fails
accommodating staff and kitchen make this restaurant the best in australia for me.
in 20 years i have never found a restaurant that always exceeds my expectations.
i am more than happy to pay fir their amazingfoodprepared respectfully for their long standing patrons. everyone i know always recommends bistro c. it’s my kitchen when i’m on noosa.
only thing is breakfast health dairy free vegan stylefoodwould get me eating there all day, the offering in that department are minimal.

i've been to bistro c more than 10 times for breakfast, lunch, happy hour. the service andfoodis outstanding every time - you literally can't beat the location and the service is some of the best in noosa. we love sitting outside on the boardwalk on a nice day. keep on keeping on!

amazingfoodon noosa’s main beach! it doesn’t get better than this..

this has always been our favourite but disappointed with the new menu.foodnot so great compared to the past. service gets the stars. impeccable.

hands down the best spot in noosa, i must admit, the seafood pasta dish helps with this decision.
the staff are extremely pleasant, thefoodis (of course) spectacular and the scenery is like nothing else.
i visit bistro c every time i’m in noosa.
highly recommended
