Gusto Riverfront Restaurant in Queensland

"We live here and this is a favourite for us and many locals for sure. Gusto has been around for 20 years or more. Tim and his wife Chloe, the current owners, took it over some five years ago, and they've taken great to outstanding! Truly passionate restaurateurs that loves what they do. On a recent Tuesday night in low season the place was packed for dinner. Last Sunday for lunch it was absolutely pumping, and I think that says it all. Amazing atmosphere, sensational service and beautiful food. A shout out to all his staff and the kitchen team....amazing! They make it seem effortless. It's consistently good and without crazy prices. A true gem that shouldn't be missed if visiting Noosa."

"Food 4.8 atmosphere 5 service 4. 5 Came here to say for lunch’ was taken to my table. I was explained the specials and the lunch special for 55 dollars. I went with choosing my own entrees and main. For an entree I had the prawn salad. This salad was super fresh the prawns were cooked so nicely, the avocado was firm but not under ripe, the freshness of the mint and the pickled ginger complemented it so nicely. I love the crunch of then fried onion, and the texted of the noodles, I really enjoyed it. For the main I choose the seafood spaghetti, it was like a marinara how ever high quality not to much sauce, I had an entree size. The size was perfect, the are generous with the about of seafood. I went back that night I had the local fish it was cooked to perfection the potato’s where super crunchy and the veggies where so fresh. Amazing. My friend had the duck confit he really enjoyed it. The is restaurant is perfect for an anniversary or special occasion. And the pricing was very reasonable."

"Came here after renting a boat across the road and they don't disappoint. Great live music was a bonus! Had tuna to start, then steak and catch of the day and bread & butter pudding & tarte tatin. Everything was amazing, great staff. Highly recommend"

"We dined at Gusto Noosa last night for Valentine’s Day, and I now completely understand why they hold such incredible ratings. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The venue itself is stunning right on the Noosa River, relaxed yet refined, with such a beautiful atmosphere. The food, however, was the true standout. We enjoyed a three-course meal with drinks, and every single dish was exceptional. So much flavour, so beautifully balanced, truly one of the best meals I have ever had and one I’ll remember for a long time. The service was equally impressive. Warm, attentive, and genuine without ever feeling overbearing. As small business owners ourselves who pour our hearts into what we do, it was especially meaningful to see the owner so present and involved on the floor, personally engaging with and serving guests. That level of care and leadership shows in every detail. I grew up in Noosa and honestly wish I had dined here years ago. We’re in Noosa for another five days and will absolutely be booking both another dinner and a lunch before we leave. Thank you for such a memorable evening, we’ll be back"

"A night of light, textured flavours that worked so well together. Every mouthful was delicious. The armomas touched our taste buds before sampling. Every aspect of the restaurant works well. A busy and obviously very successful restaurant. Thank you."

"I had my 50th Birthday luncheon at Gusto, and opted for a three course menu with my own selection of food and wines. It was absolute perfection! The chefs, service, and team did the most wonderful job. Every detail was executed perfectly and kindly. My guests commented that the day was magical and delicious! I could not have been happier with the attention to detail, the food and wine were superb, and I was so glad I picked this venue as everything came out when it should. A big thank you to Ben & Simone for their excellent service and preparation with the kitchen to ensure it ran so smoothly, and to the chefs for their delicious options that were executed so beautifully. I loved my celebration. Thank you so much team. See you again soon! XO"

"Where to even begin! Gusto’s was so fantastic! My partner and I walked past this restaurant and impulsively decided to book for dinner because it looked so beautiful! And it did not disappoint. Gusto’s atmosphere is so stunning, fine elegant dining right along the beach side for a gorgeous view whether you’re dining for lunch or dinner. I do not say this lightly, but this was the best steak (eye fillet) my partner and I have ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, the flavours and balance were perfect. The potatoes were delicious, as well as the green beans and jus. Our server, Christian, was very kind and made the experience more special! He was very welcoming and we enjoyed chatting with him. He recommended the apple tart for dessert and my gosh it was exquisite! I can still taste the brown sugar ice cream that went with it We will certainly be back soon! Highly recommend!"

"If you’re looking for the perfect dining experience in Noosa, Gusto on the River is simply unmatched. This place delivers absolute excellence. The food is always on point, flavours are vibrant, balanced and beautifully executed every single time. The staff here are truly outstanding. As regular date night guests at this restaurant the staff consistently take the time to acknowledge you show genuine interest and make you feel valued, that level of care doesn’t go unnoticed and it never fades even as regulars. In fact, it’s quite the opposite the warmth only grows. What makes Gusto so special is its consistency. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly friendly rather than just another table booking. We’ve waited a long time to find a restaurant that maintains this level of professionalism without ever becoming complacent or overly familiar. This is hospitality done right. Delishous Food. Consistent. Polished. Personal. Gusto on the River is, without question, our favourite date destination."
