Little treat today - enjoyed a wonderful lunch at @viewrestaurantnoosa by @mattgolinski as part of the @noosabiosphere Gala and Awards - A celebration of community actions for ‘Grow for Noosa’ in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve.

As always Matt created a wonderful, locally inspired lunch. Sorry didn’t get photos of it all - bit off my game. But I can assure you it was all delicious. But here is the Davidson Plum and Blueberry Pavlova with Lemon Aspen Sorbet and the Arrowroot Crisp, Fraser Isle Spanner Crab, lemon Myrtle Aioli, Red champagne Finger Lime… and the menu so you can see what you missed.

Sadly also Matt last day at View, but can’t wait to see what happens next!

I love a little bit of drama… the absinthe fountain had me just a little entranced.

Keep an eye on their special themed evenings, between the burlesque, sultry musicians and divine offerings on their menu (liquid and otherwise), you will be transported to the Parisian dens, New York prohibition bars, and relive Gatsby moments, even if only in your head 🧚

So many delicious options on the menu at Le Bar Supper Club… we had already had dinner at the Lobster Cave but there was definitely room for another oyster… you know… to go with my martini 😉

Champagne oyster? Don’t mind if I do.

And then we went to Le Bar Supper Club.

I am totally in love with this space. Felt like I walked onto a set of The Great Gatsby, and I was Daisy for the night. I like a bit of theatre and drama, so enjoyed watching the the cocktail creations parade before me.

I love my martinis and here, they mix martinis like no others.

The 1860 Occident was probably one of the best (if not THE best) I have ever had. So full bragging rights go to Le Bar

Made with Four Pillars Dry Gin (keeping it local ❣️), maraschino, a dash of bitters and housemade vermouth, and sprinkled with peppercorns, it is insanely good.

Oh, and then there are the cocktails. There was no saying no to the Fairy Floss Champagne cocktail.

Chambord black raspberry liquor, French champagne and rose water, with a decadent trail of Persian fairy floss that draped like a feather boa from the glass. Just the right amount of sweet for me.

It’s no secret that I love seafood. Fortunately I have friends in the know, that treated me to an amazing night at the Lobster Cave last night.

And what a treat it was. From the moment we walked in we were spoiled.

The freshest in seafood that Melbourne can offer is what you will get at the Lobster Cave. Sweet succulent lobster from Tasmania, ocean fresh oysters from South Australia, melt in your mouth oestra caviar, delicious Mooloolaba prawns, sublime scallop ceviche, Moreton Bay bugs and the sweetest scampi.

These are the secrets that you can be grateful that your friends are happy to share.

Enjoyed a lovely late lunch at @rickys_noosa Such a beautiful spot right next to the Noosa River. Kingfish crudo, Noosa scallops, Mooloolaba Mahi Mahi and an Elderflower mocktail so I didn’t feel left out of the festivities as DD. #lovinglocal #sunshinecoast #visitsunshinecoast #sunnycoast #queensland #thisisqueensland #coastal #coast #scenic #scenery #happydays #noosa #restaurants #dinenoosa #seafood #happybirthdaytomary

Lovely dinner last night at Circa Rooftop Bar in Maroochydore. Worked our way through a number of share plates that at times we were not very good at sharing! ⠀
⠀
Sunset was amazing but sorry, no pics, my attention was busy perusing the cocktail 🍸 list. No time for pics 😉 Lychee Rose Martini hit the spot well.⠀

Spent some time with Chris from Kin Kin Native Bees. Love the work he is doing with native bees. ⠀
⠀
I could spend hours watching these girls flying out of their hives only to return laden with pollen in their little sacks. Their hives are a work of art. ⠀
