Two full-time gardeners tend the grounds here, and it shows. The Doonan is a hinterland pub that earns its crowds through sheer effort: sprawling gardens, mist fans cooling the outdoor areas in summer, a kids' playground with a bouncy pillow and cubby house, and a menu that punches well above the standard pub offer. Pizzas and mains come out of a kitchen that clearly knows what it's doing with quality ingredients. The wine list is small but considered. Prices sit at the upper end of casual dining, though a pizza and a glass of wine won't break the bank. Weekends get busy enough that parking can be a scramble. Book a late-morning slot if you want the space to breathe and the full run of the car park.

We went to The Doonan for lunch yesterday for the first time. We thought that the location and the venue were fantastic - such a beautiful garden to enjoy over lunch! The menu is casual food and the seven of us I think really enjoyed our various choices - burger, fish & chips, tuna, lamb, cabbage veggie dish and my Doonan salad was delicious and very filling. The staff were friendly and helpful at the counters and delivering the food. We will definitely go again for another special event and highly recommend it. This is truly a special place on the Sunshine Coast.

A gem of a find, beautiful setting, not pretentious, genuine and warm service but the food is the real star. I had a fillet steak and it was one of the best I’ve had in some time. I only eat blue which demands delicate handling and attentive grilling and these guys exceeded all expectations, tender, black and blue, delicious pepper sauce and excellent meal. My other had had the doonan pizza, it was delicious and the smoked flavour from the oven really added to it. I can’t speak highly enough of this restaurant it is my go to from now on. Well done to the team

A drive-through pit stop on David Low Way. The price point is the point. Order accuracy is hit and miss, and the McCafé coffee runs weak. Check your bag before you leave and keep expectations calibrated to the golden arches.

Easy to write off as a tourist stop on Hastings Street, harder to argue with once the seafood spaghetti arrives. The beach-facing verandah over Laguna Bay is the draw, but the Caesar salad with prawns and the notably good fish and chips are reasons to return.
