Catalina Noosa

Catalina sits on Gympie Terrace at Noosaville, on the lovely Noosa River on the Sunshine Coast. A well-regarded restaurant and events venue, it makes the most of its prime riverside position — combining quality food and good drinks with a relaxed yet stylish setting and lovely views over the water, the kind of versatile spot perfect for a meal, drinks or a special event by the river.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a gorgeous riverside setting on the popular Gympie Terrace strip, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner, drinks watching the river or a function with water views. With the lovely Noosa River right there, the setting alone makes it a standout, and Catalina has clearly won over both locals and visitors.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 750 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular riverside venue fills up over weekends, holidays and around events, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a table with the river views, dining with a group, or visiting Noosa in peak season.
