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."

Amazing food. artichoke soup with macadamias had cumquat surprise flavour explosions. fabulous entrees and lamb main. almost too full to take on sticky date dessert - but thought if i don’t wake until midday from this food coma - it’d be worth it. Really make you feel at home and they are cooking just for you. Best way to start holidays ever. Pete

The interior of Casa Restaurant is beautiful - stylish, peaceful and fresh. The small space provides a lovely intimate atmosphere. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was good but a little slow at taking our orders. The chef and the waitress were both friendly and knowledgeable and were a pleasure to meet.
