Coothara Bar & Bistro

Untampered natural beauty at its finest, Coothara Bar & Bistro boasts a blissful location in the middle of Noosa National Park. Only a 25-minute ride from the city, or an idyllic 5-minute boat ride from the Noosa Everglades, this eatery and microbrewery has made Noosa's stunning surrounds its habitat and home.

The highlight of any visit to Habitat Noosa, Coothara plays a pivotal role in the day-to-day life of this gorgeous eco-camp. Conclude a day of exploring in their open, sunny dining room or on the deck where you'll likely see a family of roos soaking up the last rays. Leave the noises of the city far behind for this haven of tranquillity and prepare to see some spellbinding wildlife while you enjoy a well-earned meal.

If you've spent the day adventuring, their hearty menu certainly won't disappoint. If you simply can't wait for that first tasty morsel, then order in a mezze plate, some BBQ Mooloolaba king prawns or some crispy bruschetta to share.

Their mains provide comforting sustenance with a Tasmanian salmon curry, a zingy and fresh summer risotto and a delightfully decadent wagyu rump with potato rosti and greens. And did we mention they're champion brewers? The Eco Brewing Co is responsible for some of the most tantalising local beers – this boutique brewery offers that refreshing fizz after a day diving in Lake Cootharaba or skipping around in the Noosa Everglades. Fancy making this your habitat too? There's always room for like-minded foodies and adventurists!
