Canteen Kitchen + Bar Coolum Beach

I never leave reviews but we just had the most beautiful dinner experience here. We had family visiting from overseas and thought to just come to Coolum for sunset and dinner with no expectations. Stumbled across this place and it did not disappoint. Service was great, food came out impressively quick and we all were so impressed. Would get the truffle pasta again and again. 🙏🏼 Price was on the higher side but was definitely reflected in quality of not just food, but atmosphere and service. Would give everything 5 stars without a doubt 🌟

Had the pleasure of dining at this lovely restaurant twice during a much enjoyed relaxing mini break at Coolum. Once for Sunday cocktails and dinner, once for a mid week lunch. Absolutely delicious meals both times, thoroughly enjoyed by myself and my dining companions. Table service was very welcoming, meals tasted amazing and were presented beautifully, prices seemed very reasonable compared to other nearly locations. Would absolutely recommend and intend to come back.

Came here as our first dinner as a married couple on a Sunday night. Beautiful service, adjusted the entree to be an even share between two. Great portion sizes and not over priced for a fancy atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

The service, premises & atmosphere was outstanding, the wait & bar staff were thoroughly attentive & friendly. Well done. We had the Tangine Lamb & Pork Belly Curry. The prices & the presentation were similar to what you would expect from fine dining at around $40 per plate, but we didn't think the meals stacked up to that level. The quantity & presentation were definitely there but not the flavour unfortunately. Otherwise a lovely spot for a drink or a meal

Just had the pork belly curry at Canteen Kitchen + Bar and wow—so good. The pork was super tender with a nice crispy edge, and the curry sauce was creamy with a little kick. Loved the fresh greens and rice with it too. I got the strawberry lychee martini on the side and it was the perfect combo—fruity, light, and so refreshing. Definitely hitting the spot today.

Friendly, efficient and great service, nothing is to much for the staff at Canteen Kitchen + Bar Coolum Beach. The cocktails are delicious, everyones meal was great (we were 8 people at the table, everyone commented on how tasty their meal was). Every-time I go to Canteen my table seems to be the last to leave, I think because everything is easy and delicious at this establishment and for reasonable prices which makes it even more attractive.

I celebrated my birthday here recently with family and friends and we had a fantastic time. Leisa and her staff went above and beyond with food, drinks and service, absolutely impeccable. So much so that all my guests still rave about how good it was. Thank you Leisa and staff.

Ya Boi, Ya Gurl and Core Dawg needed a margarita and happy hour at Canteen Kitchen + Bar provided. Things are well ✌🏻

The service was friendly, the atmosphere was ambient and the ocean breeze was wonderful on a warm night. The food was amazing, I had crispy pork belly with Asian salad and Coconut rice. The only issue I found was that the rice was glugy but apart from that a lovely evening. Recommend if your up that way

Really solid food for a beachside cafe. I've been here for breakfast and lunch; both were great. For breakfast, I had a Reuben with sides of potato hash and poached egg. The egg was perfect, and the Reuben was delicious as well. For lunch, I had the whiting fish and chips. While the fish was a touch thin, the battering and frying were perfect. Both times, I also had espresso, which was carefully made with good-quality beans. What isn't so great: The $10 happy hour drink specials are on the watery side and made without fresh ingredients (e.g. sour mix). Between major meals, there is a really limited menu. The service can also be spotty then.

What a fantastic little place. We came here the first time for a light meal and cocktails. AMAZING! Their beers were great, cocktails fantastic to the point my wife wants to recreate them back home and the food was brilliant. The duck pancakes and the papadums were incredible and the slow cooked spare rib - can't believe I am going to say this - were as good as many places in the USA!!!!! We returned the next day for breakfast and the coffee juices were amazing. The place is bustling and it is easy to see why - great food and service, nice view and and good atmosphere. If you are staying nearby or you are just around for the day this is well worth a visit!

The food was nice and service was good, however, my husband ordered the barramundi and it was an extremely small serving, half the size of my palm, the smallest serving I have ever seen. The food was tasty but very small servings. I don't recommend dessert, the cheesecake tasted like a slab of cream cheese, the sticky date was glued together, and the pana cotta tasted like cocoa - the ice cream served with each dish was nice. Overall a nice restaurant but we left a little hungry.

Recently renovated with a contemporary black, wood and conrete finish. Breakfast was delicious, i had the crispy bacon and eggs, my mate had the eggs benny (highly recommend). Coffee was strong and tasty. Service was quick and polite. Overall atmosphere is ok, quiet enough for a good catchup conversation. 4.5/5 stars for me.

The service here is always great but the food has been terrible every time. I have been for breakfast and dinner a few times with no luck. Great spot for a drink or coffee maybe but avoid if you are hungry.
