The the nicest, friendly service on the coast . The food outstanding. We are so lucky to have this in the junction. Love going back , when ever I can get in with my friends. Cheers 🥂
The service at the Culinary Academy is excellent! The staff is polite, attentive, responsive and gave our group a wonderful and delicious eating indulgence. The flavours were divine, meat tender and all three courses so beautifully plated and delightful. Our group already planning our next culinary experience!
Thank you Cally and the whole team in the kitchen, behind the bar and on the floor under the watchful eyes of Catarina and Phillip for a delicious meal with great service at terrific value. Can’t wait to come back for lunch!
We had a wonderful lunch. The training staff were attentive, professional and courteous, particularly our waiter, Hassan. The food was not only delicious, but beautifully plated. Thank you so much for a special lunch and good luck with your careers in the hospitality industry.
A delightful experience at lunch, presentation of all dishes exceptional. Look forward to our next visit.
We were very impressed with the students skills, they performed well, in spite of their inexperience, the trainer was very supportive and kept the service running smoothly.
When we arrive the staff are so friendly and attentive. The food is delicious entree, main and dessert we could not fault anything!!! We will definitely recommend to our friends!!!!
Absolutely love dining at The Culinary Academy! The food is consistently excellent—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and always satisfying. The service is equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and professional every time we visit. It’s rare to find this level of quality and consistency at such incredible value. A true hidden gem that we’ll keep coming back to!
Relaxed lunch with friendly staff eager to please. Lovely dishes. We are returning!
Wonderful experience dining at Culinary Noosa, the food was great and staff went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable would definitely recommend
Been there quite often over the past few years Never fails to delight. The staff both service and kitchen are only eager to please
What a fantastic place to go to and the staff were absolutely amazing. My friends who are fabulous cooks really rated it highly too. I cannot cook but I did ENJOY the whole experience. To the young chefs I say well done it was a pleasure to eat your food. To all the floor and bar staff you exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a wonderful experience. See you again soon hopefully 🙏
The culinary experience was absolutely unique! Thank you to The Culinary Academy for treating us so well – the food, the atmosphere, and the service were all amazing. Fabiola and Milena EMSA
Great experience. Waiters still in training but working well. Food was good size servings but would have liked a meat/protein on the menu. Waiter lapsed at the end by not offering coffee or tea or bringing us our account.
Couldn't be happier with our meal or the service. Unexpectedly we had to arrange a quick meal and they couldn't have tried harder to accommodate us. The food was delicious and the staff absolutely brilliant. We'll be back. Thank you and well done.
The food quality was excellent and well presented. Service overall was good. There is room for improvement in serving drinks, remembering drink/water orders and clearing the table. Back for the third time, overall food quality and service excellent again. Pork belly of the bao bun was a little dry and pepper ought to be either on every table or offered when serving the main course. Crepe Suzette was delicious! Lunch is fantastic value and we'll be back! Thank you all students that created these beautiful lunches at the Culinary Noosa!
What a great meal. Everything was perfect. The service is so professional so this culinary school is to be congratulated . We have been a few times now and there’s never been a fail.
This is our second time we have had lunch here and both times have been such a fantastic experience. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and top restaurant quality. Thanks to all the students and staff for a wonderful experience.
One of the hidden gems of Noosa. The culinary school students both on the floor and in the kitchen produced and served meals of restaurant quality. You will have to book well in advance to grab a table! 2nd lunch and it was good as the first. In the immortal words of Arnie: We'll be back!" 😁 Now our 5th lunch here and the standard of meals is still up there. Well ddne this class. Arnie still rules, we'll be back. Well done.
Lunch at the Culinary school in Noosa was great. The service was good, the students. Stated with the Bao Bun which was lovely. My partner had the salad and she loved it. For main I went with the rump which was ok but I think was a little dry as I would have liked more sauce to go with it. The flavour were there. My friend had the goat and loved it. The dessert of the orange cake was lovely and moist, but the chocolate was a bit too rich. Looking forward to coming back again.
Great service, food was delicious can’t wait for the next menu change to see what great food will be on offer.
Wonderful meal, beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Friendly, lovely staff. Thank you so much.
I organised lunch for a friend s birthday, the staff (students) were lovely and came out to sing Happy Birthday with dessert.The food was very good and very reasonably priced.
Everything was delicious. I though think the stroganof was needing something else.
Entre of gougere was lovely, main of veg tart nice, but too much onion & capsicun for me, I'd prefer mushroom & asparagus. Everything else great thanks 👍
Food very well presented and tasty! Our servers generally very pleasant. Room for improvement? Wine glass sat empty for a while - perhaps could have been asked if we wanted more. Overall a very positive experience. Thank you.
