Dough fusion was awarded as winner of 'best gourmet meat pie in australia' for their caramelized onion and chunky steak gourmet pie. I'm not a big fan of pies but these pies are better than any other pie I have tasted. I often walk past and am They also have some tempted and buy a cake and have a nice coffee. They are open from early in the morning so I often start the day with fresh bakery bread.
The food at the restaurant is sophisticated fully licensed modern Asian and Chinese restaurant and lounge bar. It is a classy place with a warm atmosphere and the exquisite flavours are like nothing I've tasted before. Sticky Kilcoy beef, XO sauce, steamed kai lan with pumpkin steamed with salted soy beans as a side followed by cold pear, honey cream, white chocolate & ginger crumble would have to be my favourites. The dishes are a little expensive but you definitely get the quality you pay for. They have banquets, locals night and also Yum Cha on weekends.

One of the best value family bistros on the coast. We ate parmigiana and steak of the specials menu for only $10 each. The serves we're huge with crunchy golden chips and a light salad. There is a lunch or dinner special everyday or you choose of the a la carte menu. Great for large groups as there is plenty of seating either inside or out. Great value for money and turns eating out into an affordable event.
Approximate cost: $7.50 upwards
When you walk into Matt's shop you know straight away that they have fresh local fruit and vegetables straight from the farm to their shelves. Matt or one of the other staff are usually unloading and restocking shelves. They're always available to answer any questions or maybe cut you a piece of Melon to the size you want. It is a friendly personal experience and the majority is from the region's suppliers, keeping money in the community and employing Coast labour.
Approximate cost: $Cheaper than the big Supermarkets
I bought a new Mazda 3 from the dealer 6 months ago. The was my 4th dealer I visited. I went in alone and expected to be told to bring in my husband like other car dealers had advised or to drive whilst accompanied by one of their staff. I was handed a set of car keys to test drive it on my own. On return I was given the best coffee I've had on the coast, a cookie and sat down and was given full attention by a staff member. I purchased the car and was given a loan car for 5 days until my preferred colour would be available. I return for the car services and am given a courtesy car for the day. I'm always offered a coffee, cookie or a cold drink for the road. I can't afford the Mercedes Benz over the road but feel like I am being treated like I own one.

I regularly visit here when I go to Mooloolaba. Being on the second floor you are out of the main esplanade thoroughfare so you can enjoy scrumptious food at a good price with a cold beer whilst overlooking the beach. Sunday Sessions are my favourite as they have live music and $6 pizza.
Approximate cost: $12 to $20
Authentic Chinese food, the best on the coast. Friendly staff but lacking a little in atmosphere as it is a small quite place.
