You have to love this place. Not only did they welcome us in when we showed up - without a reservation - before formal opening time, but they fed us the most magnificent dinner. I was having one of my overly pernickety days where parts of dishes interested me, but not one dish in particular. Being of the opinion that... More

Nice little restaurant, wonderful view, and nice people, but we didn't find the food particularly outstanding (or even memorable, come to think of it).

Tomato/goat's cheese tartine was delicate and flavourful as an appy. The prawns were tasty with lentils/sausage as appy. Both dishes were excellent but a bit pricey as compared to Vancouver hotspots. However, the entrees were well balanced and great value. Lamb sirloin is tender and flavourful with some great scallop taters. Also tried the curry lentil phyllo - very light... More

My husband and I enjoyed our meals at the SweetWater Bistro while on a visit to the Sunshine Coast. Our entrees were delicious and the dessert that we shared was out of this world. Delicious food and great service in quaint surroundings.

Sweetwater Bistro is an absolute gem. Climb up the stairs to this charming restaurant that is by far the best eating experience you will have on the Sunshine Coast. Brigitta and Andrew (the owners) have perfected the art of running a first class establishment. From the moment you enter this inviting room you are in for a treat. My husband... More

My husband and I were celebrating with a night away to the Sunshine coast. This restaurant was recommended to us by the host at the B&B where we stayed. The food here could not have been better. Everything was cooked to perfection. We shared the teriyaki beef skewers to start, and the beef melted in the mouth. My husband got... More

My husband and I shared a lovely Romantic meal at Sweet Water Bistro on a recent weekend getaway to the Sunshine Coast. One doesn't expect a restaurant experience of this quality in a small, out of the way community but it was absolutely terrific in every way and certainly met or even exceeded our expectations. Sweet Water Bistro is easily... More

My husband took me here for my birthday and it lived up to all the reviews. It is the best meal we've had on the coast. Everything was beautifully prepared and delicious; service was warm and friendly; the dining room is comfortable and the art work local and interesting. Perhaps the food was served slightly quickly but one can hardly... More

Anthing you choose on this wonderful menu will not disapoint. My favourite is always the risotto and fresh snapper. Brigetta and Andrew are the best hosts ever!
