The Deck on Parkyn

The Deck on Parkyn is a fully licensed cafe and restaurant in Mooloolaba, set beside the Mooloolah River at the Mooloolah River Fisheries site. Its waterside position gives diners a view across the river and the working seafood industry, making the setting a little more connected to its food than a typical dining room.

The restaurant focuses on a straightforward seafood menu, with Queensland seafood supplied through the adjoining fisheries operation. The business says fresh seafood is unloaded and processed at its factory each day, while local wild-caught seafood is prepared and cooked in the restaurant. Guests can choose a plated meal with an alcoholic drink or barista-made coffee, and fish and chips are also listed as a takeaway option.

The Deck suits diners looking for a relaxed seafood meal with an informative sense of place, whether stopping by for lunch, meeting friends or arranging a group occasion. The venue also invites enquiries for functions and can discuss event requirements. Its river outlook and connection to the local seafood trade are the main reasons to visit, rather than an elaborate or highly formal dining experience.
