Locale

Locale sits on Hastings Street at Noosa Heads, the Sunshine Coast's most glamorous beachside dining-and-shopping strip. A well-regarded Italian restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, authentic Italian cooking — the kind of accomplished, stylish spot that pairs genuine Italian fare with the relaxed yet upmarket mood of Noosa.

The appeal is that combination of quality Italian food, a good drinks offering and a stylish yet relaxed setting in a prime Hastings Street location, ideal for a special dinner, a relaxed meal or a night out steps from the beach. On Noosa's premier strip, a quality Italian restaurant is a natural draw, and Locale has clearly won over both locals and visitors.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Hastings Street restaurant fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or visiting Noosa in peak season.
