Gypsy's Table — Restaurant in Sunshine Coast Regional

The GT is a unique experience. When you walk in it has the appearance of someone's quirky very large loungeroom - mauve, purple, reds, blues for the chairs and tables and the lace-like curtains, a beautifully polished wooden floor, large wooden beams and an array of Gypsiana (violins, pictures of gypsies, knick knacks) decorating the room. There are also large comfy lounges and chairs to sit and have a drink. Overall, a good impression, fun and different and good for a talking point. We were warmly welcomed by (I presume) the owner, who also turned out to be the chef. We had a bright table in the window with delightful valley hinterland views. Deep blue cloth table cloths and large thick (homemade?) napkins. It was my wife's birthday and we were both hungry so we opted, with some trepidation, to start with the Gypsy Wheel ($48), a generous (antipasto) plate of pickled vegetables, hummus, roasted vegetables, sausage, pate and more, with a freshly baked warm loaf of bread. It was delicious and if you only bought a soup with it, this could be a meal! But, we chose main meals as well! My wife's Tuscan chicken looked like an artwork - a tower of chicken and veggies in a Tuscan herb sauce. The chicken ($37) was moist and it was delicious. I bravely opted for the special - water buffalo ($44) - that was not so creatively presented, a small (maybe 150gm) piece of buffalo in a rich wine sauce with some simply cooked vegetables. But, it was delicious, gamey and tender and the plain vegetables were the right accompaniment to the rich meat. The service was good. So, this is a special occasion place, the prices being typical for what you get - a unique experience, quirky decor, a great view and excellent food! Even though we ate a lot of food, we both commented after that we did not feel bloated or over-full and we put this down to high quality produce and cooking ingredients. Highly...

OH MY GOD !

Entering the front doors at Gypsy’s Table on a cold wet and dismal day was the perfect choice.

From the moment you enter you are taken into a world of unknown. The whole restaurant has been transformed into a haven for all travellers; you can even stay the night !

The wine list was a standout. Showcasing beautiful wines from local and imported vineyards.

The food was exceptional. All made in house by chef and owner Leesa who kindly came out after our meal to have a quick chat. Everything is made with love and one hand (due to an unfortunate incident) which just proves her passion and dedication.

Everything was complimented by the most wonderful server Ourania who ensured we were looked after from the moment we walked in to our departure. Her service turned a meal into an experience.

Absolute highlight of our trip to QLD and can not thank them both enough for the most amazing and memorable experience.

Thank you...

All aspects about Gypsies Table is special. It's one of the best places to relax and try different things on the menu for unique surprises not found anywhere else.

Everything on the menu was creative, made with love, homely feel and tasty blend inspired from French, Nordic, Mediterranean and subtle flavours elsewhere.

The clay pot soup, homemade bread & garlic butter was very delicious. The mains were healthy with wonderful spiced flavoured sauces. The house malbec fused red was smooth, and the spiced wine shot was one of best ways to finish off an evening.

The blend of flavours with spiced touches were heartwarming - the essence of Gypsy flare.

I recommend Gypsy Table as one of the best restaurants on the Sunshine Coast, especially on the Hinterland. Not to be missed for a chilled lunch or dinner...
