Rickys River Bar Restaurant - Noosa

The finest meal I have ever had in Australia. If you enjoy this kind of food, get on a plane and stay in one of the most gorgeous, pristine nooks in all of Australia. When you combine an educated palate with a love of the beach and ocean culture of this amazing little town (and throw in some great shopping, surfing, or at least surfERS), there are few places in the world I would recommend higher than than Noosa, and this must be its best restaurant. I went to Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (I am a destination diner) and I bet the dishwashers at Wasabi eat better than the guests at Dinner. Absolutely amazing. I think my eyes were closed half of the time- the flavor combinations were just genius. If Einstein had a restaurant, this would be it.

Lovely quiet intimate restaurant. Book early to sit close to the water! The staff happily space your courses out there’s no later sitting which allows you to enjoy your meal. We had the 9 course which was absolutely fabulous. Nice space between the courses which provided a relaxed night. We also had the matching drinks- wouldn’t recommend the matching drinks if you’re not a huge fan of sake (which I’m not). 9 course menu is very wide and offers some beautiful seafood interesting flavours. Big price tag but worth it for a special occasion a lovely evening. Disappointing having to pay an extra $27 each for the beef- beef was divine but very expensive for 50g each.

We decided to try out Wasabi based on a friend's recommendation. Despite some negative reviews about it not being family-friendly or being too expensive, we were still eager to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised by our experience! We opted for the 7-course degustation menu, which began with delicious tasters. The food was beautifully presented, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. By the end of the meal, we were satisfied and enjoyed a selection of tea. The restaurant's location adds to the experience, especially if you can get a window seat. We definitely plan on returning in the future!

I had a great time at this restaurant. The menu was clearly thought out and each dish was exceptional. The only downside was the high cost for beef dishes. This restaurant is not recommended for families with children.

Wow! did the 4 course menu (adding oysters... always add oysters) and it was so delightful.  The courses were beautifully presented and prepared, with such creative and interesting flavour combinations.  the service was thoughtful and helpful without being intrusive.  We also enjoyed some lovely wines recommended by the sommelier. Every detail was attended to, from the art on the walls, the tatami seating to the beautiful cutlery and plates.  would recommend and hope to visit again!
