Quarterdeck

In Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast, Quarterdeck charts a course for relaxed, contemporary dining steeped in coastal flavours.

The menu's a love letter to the sea and its companions, with comforting classics and a few globe-trotting accents. Seafood takes a star turn - think natural and Kilpatrick oysters, panko-crumbed calamari and coconut-crumbed prawns. Italian leanings surface in spaghetti marinara and a crab and coconut risotto brightened with island mango, while gourmet pizzas - Deniro and Supremo among them - keep things convivial.

Heartier appetites find satisfaction in a crispy duck leg with Asian greens or a lamb shank with roasted ratatouille and creamy mash. There's something for everyone, from classic sides like a bowl of crispy chips or sweet potato wedges to a crowd-pleasing kids' menu featuring spaghetti Bolognese and fish and chips.

Settle in, savour, and linger. Make a date with Quarterdeck, and let the seaside spirit do the rest - all hands on deck for delicious times ahead!
