Bestes Essen war wir bis anhin in Australien hatten - Edit
Wir hatten die Pilze zur Vorspeise, den Hanf-Bohnen-Burger und die Rohkosttacos zur Hauptspeise und das Schokodessert. Das Dessert war so schnell aufgegessen, das ich nicht mal ein Foto machen konnte. Bestes Essen was wir bis anhin in Australien hatten und mein Mann meinte, dass der Burgerpatty der beste vegane Patty war, der we überhaupt je gegessen hatte.

Interesting spot - Edit
I've been curious to try this place for a while. The inside is really cool with the booths and plant decor. I had the summer rolls they were really nice, couldn't take the kimchi though. I then had the nachos. They were okay, the garlic cream was delicious but the bean mix wasn't that tasty. Some really interesting drink options available.
Read morePros: Vegan/ethical business , Beautifully decorated

Gorgeous setting! Would love to see an expanded menu - Edit
Really pretty spot, the menu was limited and the item I wanted wasn't available. I had the Humble burger which was tasty but was omly a small portion with a large amount of chips on the side.

Tons of options - Edit
Plenty of options to choose from! We tried a mix of dishes and found the flavours to be hit or miss for each of us but enjoyed trying them. Biggest con is the price for the portions. We expected for the cost they’d be a bit bigger. We probably won’t be back but are glad we tried it!

Raw enchiladas was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Also the chips were particularly delicious.

Good food but tiny portions - Edit
I was very excited to go to Elixiba. Me and my fiancé got the Humble Burger and the Follow my Bliss hot drink. The drink was yummy but was a bit too sweet and I felt that the almond milk was a bit runny and not very creamy.
Read moreThe Humble Burger tasted great but it was strangely oily, and the portion size was extremely small for $25. The chips tasted great as well as the aoli, but they were quite heavily battered and I felt a bit off after eating them.
Pros: Great tasting food, Beautiful presentation, Amazing interior design
Cons: Very expensive, Tiny portions, Food was a bit oily

Excellent - Edit
Brilliant decor, food and service. Inventive menu, friendly staff and good music. So much to like. It's also licensed with an interesting range of cocktails and other drinks.
Read moreIt is great for the gluten-averse and people with nut allergies too.
It's not cheap and the portions are not huge but we were satisfied nonetheless.
We had the hemp chips, smoked mushrooms with pesto, cauliflower bites and rice paper rolls and it was enough for three people.
I'll be trying different things each time I visit to get my way through the menu.
We need more places like Elixiba.
Pros: Inventive menu for both mains and desserts, Staff seem happy and chatty, Great selection of drinks
Cons: It's not cheap but not too bad

Your next visit to Maroochydore - Edit
If you’re planning on heading to the Sunshine Coast, put this restaurant/bar on your list of venues to visit.

Make sure to book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Almost 5 Stars - Edit
Nearly everything we ate was 10 out of 10 for taste and presentation, the reason it doesn’t get five stars though is because of the limited menu options and price.
Read moreThere were only six main meal options when we went; two burgers, raw enchiladas, nachos, green curry and a noodle bowl.
My partner and I had a main each and shared an entree, desert and cocktail, all up it was $105.
Stater
Tea Smoked Mushrooms: Absolutely delicious! But at $16 for three tiny mushrooms we were both a bit shocked. They were served cold and we both agreed they would be better warm. Definitely a case of quality over quantity.
Mains
Nachos: Again, absolutely delicious. Really can’t fault this dish except for the price, $25 is a bit steep, although you can order it for takeaway for $20.
Green Curry: We were not fans of this one. It looked amazing, but there wasn’t much in the flavour department. Too healthy for our liking.
Desert
Maca Macadamia Banoffee Pie: We ordered this with a scoop of caramel coconut ice cream. It was truly delicious.
We would definitely eat here again, but would probably just opt for takeaway to save some money.
Pros: Quality food, Well presented, Nice aesthetic
Cons: Expensive, Limited menu

Highly recommended - Edit
I'd asked the question of my fellow vegans on FB, where their 'must visit' restaurants were while visiting this area and this was a consistent recommendation. I completely understand why!
Read moreWhat a cool vibe, great menu and amazing food! Gorgeous decor and very welcoming staff. Some really interesting menu options, including the drinks.
Food is exceptional, both in presentation and taste. I absolutely loved the roasted garlic edamame and those thick handcut fries were amazing. The Moontime Maca drink was exactly what I was looking for on this cooler night. Great to have some healthy options too.

Great food, great service, good cocktails and good ambience - Edit
This is my second time here and the Thai jackfruit curry is just as delicious as I remember it. Even my non-plant based eating brother loves this curry (he’s been back for it three times!). The cocomari while very tasty, was better on the first visit. The nachos were nourishing but better as a lunch dish. The buffalo cauliflower is another one of my favourite menu items. Knocked back two Garden of Eden cocktails ... pretty lush and more-ish. The location is great. Service is always good.

Insanely delish food - Edit
Nature vibes, feels like you're eating inside a hollow tree. Had a cold brew espresso martini, Garden of Eden cocktail and whiskey sour, soooo yummy and the presentation was so cool. Also bamboo straws for cocktails. Had the Coco Mari tacos, a must try, who knew deep fried coconut would be so good? Also the nachos and superfood wrap were yum. To finish, had the chocolate terrarium. A bit pricey but makes sense and legit so worth it ✌️ also service was brilliant, lovely staff
