Mr Drifter

Best Known For

Seared spiced duck breast, served with rich turmeric yellow curry sauce, fresh herbs, crispy shallots and paprika strands.

Born out of a sense of adventure and exploration, Mr Drifter on Sunshine Beach Road in Noosa Junction delivers Asian street food with a hint of cocktail culture. Founder Charlie Harrison has lived everywhere from colonial India to Indonesia and Japan – you could say a taste for spice and rich flavours is hereditary – and that's what is on the plate at Mr Drifter. Rustic timber, walls adorned with vintage postcards and exposed brick combine to set a chilled-out vibe as guests ponder small plates such as fried pork dumplings and chilli soy sambal dipping sauce. Delve into memorable mains like Sri Lankan beef cheek, braised in coconut and masala with a citrus apple and ginger salad; or Kadai Pakistan chicken curry with tomato, potato, spices, vegetables and sides of steamed rice and papadums.
