Humble On Duke - SUNSHINE BEACH

We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate our special day. The inventive and surprisingly delicious flavors were a highlight. If you're looking to try something different and unique, this is the place to go. Jade and Fran, the hosts, made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived.

This was recommended to us by a friend and it was possibly the best dining experience I have had in a long time. We were warmly welcomed by our host who addressed us by name throughout the evening. We had the “Feed Me” menu with matching wines. Jade was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wine and we loved all that we tasted. Then….the food!!! Humbles incredible chef Stacey prepared the most incredible dishes. Mostly local produce fresh, cooked to perfection and simply delicious. What a special night and one we’ll remember for a long time to come.

The wine and customer service were excellent, but I struggled to finish most of the food. I'm not sure why this place has a five-star rating. I would definitely return, but not for the bland and overpriced dinner.

There aren't many places along the coast that truly exceed expectations in every aspect, but Humble certainly does. It brought to mind the finest small, elegant bistros found in gastronomic hubs like Paris, New York, or Bordeaux. Although the restaurant may be small in size, it compensates for this with exceptional quality. It has a vibrant personality, outstanding quality, and flavors that will leave your taste buds ecstatic. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos of the food; I was simply too absorbed in enjoying the experience and the incredible dishes, which is exactly how it should be.

There 's so much to unpack about the wonderful experience we had at Humble on Duke.From the moment the wonderful Jade met us to the departing conversation we were greeted by name, treated as friends, invited into the Humble on Duke family and left with no doubt that this tiny restaurant will be an institution we visit Noosa more regularly to experience.It 's telling that there really were no weak dishes, no boring blah, just frankly memorable food we were welcomed to discuss by the owners.Service was fantastic. There was no paying of lip service by asking how our meals were by bored staff or indifference to our thoughts. All of the staff were invested in creating an experience ensuring we had a great dinner.Stacey is a truly amazing in the kitchen with an innate sense of balance. There 's no formulaic following of convention, just cracking good food. I 've thought long on whether I 've had a better dinner over the last few years. There are undoubtedly others but Sunda, and possibly Gerards or Agnes, are the only comparable restaurants I 've frequented. This from a small casual hole in the wall you 'd easily walk past if not for the full tables.Humble on Duke is also a breath of fresh air for vegan diners. Seamless substitution rather than the 'of course we can cater and we 'll just leave off the cheese or forget the balance and flavour ' meant my favourite dish of the night was an artichoke based amalgamation of flavour and spice that replaced the burrata for my partner 's dining pleasure.The food and service arent the only highlights. Jade 's passionate and knowledgeable guidance through the small but beautifully formed wine list is fueled by her personal history with the winemakers highlighting a focus on organic wine and viticulture. I appreciated every wine I tried.An easy 5 stars from someone who refuses to rate restaurants of average quality and thinks long and hard about reviewing.
