BASK Restaurant
Pairing exceptional local production with world-class innovation, BASK Restaurant is a true celebration of the Sunshine Coast’s culinary riches. Celebrated for its seasonal, paddock-to-plate menu and thoughtful use of local produce, BASK is ideal for long lunches or elegant dinners with friends. The stylish interior and alfresco seating beside the village square make it a standout choice for any special occasion, or simply just because.
Mariella Mexicantina
A recent addition to Peregian’s dining scene, Mariella Mexicantina brings bold, authentic Mexican flavours to this quaint coastal village. The menu centres around fresh tacos, generous share plates, house-made salsas and guacamole, alongside a cocktail list that leans heavily into margaritas (of course!). The atmosphere is lively and social, making it a favourite for group dinners, birthday celebrations or relaxed evenings where the food is bold and the vibes are high.
Delilah Pizza
For a relaxed take on Italian-inspired dining, Delilah Pizza delivers woodfired classics with quality ingredients at the forefront. Known for its slow-proved dough and woodfired technique, the menu features beautifully blistered bases topped with quality ingredients, from a classic margherita to prosciutto layered with peppery rocket, parmesan and balsamic glaze. Make sure you try one of their exquisite antipasti (we warmly recommend the tomato & peach Panzanella) and you’ve got yourself an effortless, share-style dinner.
