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.

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!

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.
