Pucca Restaurant

Some of the best food we have had in Noosa! Fresh, clean and incredibly tasty and service to match. The potato and chick pea Pucca balls were a stand out along with the octopus and the goat curry. Cannot fault this place and we will certainly be back. Thanks so much team!

A Culinary Gem in Noosaville – Pucca Never Disappoints! We’ve been coming to Pucca for quite some time now, and it has firmly secured its place as one of our favourite weekend rituals. The cheeky bottomless lunch on Saturdays is the highlight of our week – a vibrant, flavour-packed experience that’s far more than just a set menu. What truly sets Pucca apart is the variety and originality of the dishes. Every visit is a chance to explore new flavour combinations and creative presentations. The cuisine isn’t just delicious, it’s an adventure for the palate – playful, bold, and always beautifully curated. It’s not just food, it’s a cultural and sensory journey through modern Indian fusion with local flair. Add to that the gorgeous views of the river, which provide the perfect backdrop for a long, relaxed lunch. Whether you’re seated inside or al fresco, the vibe is chic yet unpretentious – a rare balance that Pucca nails every time. The service is impeccable: friendly, attentive, and warm without ever being intrusive. They make you feel like you’re part of the Pucca family, always welcoming with genuine hospitality. We recently brought some friends visiting from out of town, and they were absolutely blown away – from the creative cocktails to the share plates and the overall atmosphere. They couldn’t stop raving about it, and I don’t blame them! In short, Pucca is a true gem in the heart of Noosaville. A place where food, fun, and flawless service come together to create unforgettable memories. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, don’t miss it – this is the kind of spot that makes you want to come back again and again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

So I was a little suspicious with all the good reviews, thinking can a restaurant really be that good….. YES!!!!! Pucca really is that good. We had a fabulous night! The food was something special! The Pucca balls, wow had no idea what they were or what to expect and they were amazing! We shared the brisket, again, great depth of flavour and the Belgian Chocolate dessert with amaretto and hazel nut ice cream was amazing. Furthermore we weren’t rushed to order and eat, it was a relaxed atmosphere with no time pressure, which is something that has gone out the window after Covid. Highly recommend Pucca !!

This restaurant isn't just a meal; it's a culinary event that perfectly captures the relaxed elegance of Noosa, and it is, hands down, my all-time favourite. ​The recent visit was again exceptional, highlighted by their incredible Seafood Platter. It was a showcase of the freshest local catches: plump Coffin Bay oysters, succulent fresh Champagne Crays, delicate Moreton Bay Bugs, and perfectly cooked Mooloolaba king prawns. The inclusion of coconut-crumbed snapper added a wonderful textural and flavour contrast. The house-made accompaniments—a bright tartar and an unexpected, refreshing mint relish dressing—elevated the entire dish. Everything was impeccably fresh and expertly prepared. ​The setting by the Noosa River is simply gorgeous, providing a beautiful, tranquil view that makes the dining experience even more special. ​Beyond the food and views, the service was truly excellent—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. ​And for those dining with their furry friends, Pucca offers a lovely touch: our puppies were completely spoiled with house-made treats! These weren't just standard dog biscuits, but delicious cut-offs of the very steaks and fish they serve, which is a testament to the restaurant's quality and attention to all its guests. ​Pucca is a must-visit for anyone in Noosa. It delivers on every front: phenomenal food, stunning atmosphere, and stellar service.

This little gem on Gympie Terrace is serving some of the best food going around, and believe me we’ve tried many of the establishments that are on offer here. We start with their tantalising Pucca balls, which are as simple as they are flavoursome. Spent so many afternoons here gazing out at the water, and still can’t go past these little parcels of fun, cracking the top open like a prized golden egg, savouring every bite there is to scoop into these creations paired with a ‘moreish’ coconut & lime (think raita) dressing. We can never decide which entrees or mains to go with (as the serving sizes are always generous), so we landed on the seafood platter, which didn’t disappoint, and showcased a lot local produce. An incredibly well thought out yet simple selection of fresh coffin bay oysters (ok they’re a bit of an import…) coupled with very generous sized portions of my favourite their Keralan grilled Moreton Bay bugs, which transports you to somewhere in the South Pacific with chefs homegrown Keralan Indian seafood curry recipe which brings both subtlety and packing a dry spice flavour hit, that is far from the somewhat bland charcoal grill or mornay offerings we see far too often these days. The champagne crayfish were equally as good, but I felt they were slightly dry compared with the bugs. The local Mooloolaba king prawns are always a welcome site, and we enjoyed wrapping these up like little San Choy Bows, drizzled with a nice house made cocktail seafood sauce with a hint of spice in there for sure. All the while we sipped on a lovely bottle of Italian Soave. We didn’t go for their extensive gin menu this time around, but it is impressive. For dessert we tried their baked cheesecake and the chocolate & hazelnut with spiced ginger both served with ice cream. The whole experience is just a great combination of good food, wine and incredibly warm hospitality. If you are a dog owner you will be glad to know we have 2 Border Collies, and they are always greeted first by Sam, who never fails to find them some treats. On this particular visit they made a special cooked chicken side serve just for the doggies. I hope you find some time to get along here and see what all the fuss is about, either for dinner or just a relaxing long lunch.
