Mr Drifter

Best Known For

Indonesian beef rendang with slow-cooked brisket, coconut and pickles.

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 togarashi spiced squid with caramelised pepper sauce. Delve into memorable mains like crispy pork belly with kaffir lime, chilli caramel and herb slaw; or turmeric yellow curry with crispy duck leg, herbs and sides of steamed jasmine rice and papadums.
