About the restaurant

Just steps from the white sands of Mooloolaba Beach, Casa Restaurant offers a warm, Mediterranean-inspired dining experience by the creators of Casita Wine Bar. Whether you're starting or finishing your night next door at Casita, Casa Restaurant is your destination for sharing moments and savouring "The Art of Living."

Begin with our signature Casa Paloma cocktail, followed by a share table of Mediterranean delights - think fresh salmon carpaccio, authentic prawn linguine, and tender slow-cooked lamb shoulder. End your evening with a sweet indulgence with our affogato martini and profiteroles, or a refreshing limoncello digestive.

With stunning interiors and a menu designed to bring people together, Casa Restaurant is the perfect place to relax, share, and celebrate the Mediterranean way of life.

About the restaurant

European Bar & Restaurant

Specialises in honest and uncomplicated European cuisine done well, Belgian beers, European wines, classic and house made cocktails.

Chef Alex Hughes honours our European traditions whilst celebrating the beautiful premium local produce that the Sunshine Coast has to offer.

"The interior alone is timeless, effortlessly sexy and does a fine job of solidifying this place as somewhere you’ll totally want to hang out. Basically, if we were to rate this place on the atmosphere alone, we’d be dishing up a big, fat 10."

The Burpo is a great place to Dine, food is fantastic as is the service, there is always something going on with Member draws and Raffles so there is a medium amount of noise but that just adds to the overall experience. If you’re on the Northside of Brisbane you should give them a go, I think you’ll like what you find.

About the restaurant

King Ludwig's German Restaurant offers European Alpine cuisine with a strong Bavarian & Austrian influence.
Visit Bavaria/Austria without your passport and expensive plane tickets. Step into King Ludwig's and let us introduce you to classic European hospitality = Gastfreundschaft.

Austrian born Adi is at the helm of KL since July 2024. He is a DipWSET (= a Wine & Spirit Education Trust Diploma level 4 graduate), 35+ years in hospitality and he is keeping an watchful eye on everything.
We offer a dynamic beverage program with a LOT of European and International wines, over 20 of those wines by the glass and over 30 beers and yes... we almost forgot... the finest views of the Glasshouse Mountains from our balcony.
Join us for a quick bite, test Adi's knowledge at the monthly wine tasting, Christmas in July, Oktoberfest etc. is all on www.kingludwigs.com.au.
Bis bald.
