Rickys River Bar Restaurant - Noosa

The finest meal I have ever had in Australia. If you enjoy this kind of food, get on a plane and stay in one of the most gorgeous, pristine nooks in all of Australia. When you combine an educated palate with a love of the beach and ocean culture of this amazing little town (and throw in some great shopping, surfing, or at least surfERS), there are few places in the world I would recommend higher than than Noosa, and this must be its best restaurant. I went to Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (I am a destination diner) and I bet the dishwashers at Wasabi eat better than the guests at Dinner. Absolutely amazing. I think my eyes were closed half of the time- the flavor combinations were just genius. If Einstein had a restaurant, this would be it.

Lovely quiet intimate restaurant. Book early to sit close to the water! The staff happily space your courses out there’s no later sitting which allows you to enjoy your meal. We had the 9 course which was absolutely fabulous. Nice space between the courses which provided a relaxed night. We also had the matching drinks- wouldn’t recommend the matching drinks if you’re not a huge fan of sake (which I’m not). 9 course menu is very wide and offers some beautiful seafood interesting flavours. Big price tag but worth it for a special occasion a lovely evening. Disappointing having to pay an extra $27 each for the beef- beef was divine but very expensive for 50g each.

Wow! did the 4 course menu (adding oysters... always add oysters) and it was so delightful.  The courses were beautifully presented and prepared, with such creative and interesting flavour combinations.  the service was thoughtful and helpful without being intrusive.  We also enjoyed some lovely wines recommended by the sommelier. Every detail was attended to, from the art on the walls, the tatami seating to the beautiful cutlery and plates.  would recommend and hope to visit again!

Had the omekase menu and enjoyed the experience! Beautifully presented food, complex flavors, innovative, good balance, attention to detail with different textures, using incredible ingredients and fresh produce. The service was good, waiter and waitresses were very attentive. Loved the whole experience! See pictures below

Not even going to bother looking for points to take away from wasabi. It was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Enjoyed a 9 course dego with my wife while sitting at a lovely window table. The waiter was efficient and knowledgeable and made the night a beautiful ballet of eating and entertainment. Favourite dishes were the heirloom carrot dish and the kingfish sashimi. Each dish was delicate and balanced perfectly with just the right amount of umami for each piece of food. It's expensive, but get there!
