Spice Bar

Top choice in Sunshine Coast


Slick, contemporary Spice Bar dishes up superb Asian-fusion fare. The menu is a share-plates affair, with highlights including Hervey Bay scallops, and an aromatic duck prepared using a six-year-old master stock. For a satisfying overview, opt for one of the degustation menus (five/seven/10 courses $59/79/95). A bar menu operates between 3pm and 6pm.

Book ahead, especially on Friday and Saturday.
