Canteen Kitchen, Coolum
A trip up and down Mount Coolum is bound to give you an appetite and Canteen Kitchen and Bar in Coolum is just a short drive away.
Located across the road from the beach - before the traffic lights - the restaurant is also a great spot to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air during the day.
While the wine list - not to mention the happy hour cocktails - looked very appealing, we decided to reward ourselves with some of the fresh juices and they were delicious.
It was hard to decide what to eat from the tasty menu. My partner landed on a creole chicken burger with bacon and fries while I tried to stay healthy-ish with some crispy pork belly on a rice noodle and Asian slaw salad.
The pork belly was glazed and sweet and cooked perfectly, complimented by the tangy and spicy bed of salad and I devoured it.
I managed to steal some chips and a bite of burger and they were both moreish.
This is one menu I will be back to try more of - especially the Cajun fish tacos and the chicken wings (I am a complete sucker for good, spicy wings).
With the indoor/outdoor seating, this slick but casual spot would be the perfect spot to while away the afternoon hours and then order some more food as the sun goes down...
