Don't be like us—make a booking for Fiorio & Co! We didn't, but they still managed to squeeze us in. We ended up with a fantastic outdoor table, and honestly, it was the perfect spot for a lovely evening. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, and everything came out of the kitchen incredibly fast. The fish of the day and the goat's cheese entrées were delicious. My main, the confit duck, was absolutely incredible and a must-try. My partner loved their beef bourguignon, too. The best part? The big breadsticks they gave us were perfect for mopping up every last drop of the sauces. We finished our meal with a rich and creamy crème brûlée that was ready the moment we were. This place is a must-visit!

Amazing pizzas! They’re so generous with the toppings and the pizza dough was wonderfully crispy, chewy and delicious. The owners were also very friendly. The shop ran out of dough after a busy lunch service, so we had to wait a while but it was totally worth it!

Delicious authentic French food. A warm welcome from the owner. We loved sitting in the quiet courtyard. Although we didn’t book until just before and there were bigger groups inside, the staff all attended to us without prejudice, and we felt so well cared for. Perfect date night!

My husband and I had dinner here a couple of weeks ago and we left absolutely in awe! The service was outstanding, warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. And the food… simply to die for! I’m still dreaming about the duck leg, it was cooked to perfection and truly unforgettable. Every detail made the evening so special. We can’t wait to come back!

The new French menu is amazing!!!! Great flavours, friendly and professional service, even better than before if that is possible. The menu is authentic, short like a typical French bistro. Reminiscent of our days driving through France and Corsica. You do need to book! And, if you want to hire the entire place for your private function, like we did for my birthday, Tom and Kristy have great menu and wine suggestions. Best birthday ever!!! Can’t recommend it enough!

The menu is about to change and I am really looking forward to the Lamb Shanks. Tom is also developing a vegan option based on his beef bourguignon but using mushrooms. Kristy is now producing superb sandwiches to order on Saturday and Sunday for lunch.

Had an absolutely lovely night out on 04/01 ! Service was impeccable. Our meals were authentic and full of flavour. Duck was cooked perfectly. Well done to you both, looking forward to visiting again when we make the journey from Darwin.

Off to dinner we went, and as we stepped through the doors of Fiorio & Co, we were transported to a lavish restaurant in France, a truly immersive experience. ???????? We were greeted by Thomas (Chef) & Kristy, whose warm welcome set the tone for an exceptional evening, as we were seated and presented with the divine menu for the night. Every dish sounded like a masterpiece, making it a challenge to choose just one. We decided on chèvre chaud for entree, Confit de canard avec purée de pommes de terre et jus au porto & mousse au chocolat & baba au rhum for dessert, a culinary journey that would leave us in awe. Wow is all I can say, as the high quality authentic French food was nothing short of sensational, a true testament to the Chef's expertise. Every single bite was divine, a credit to the Chef's unwavering commitment to excellence, and it is no wonder that this French cuisine is the talk of the Sunshine Coast, a beacon of excellence. We had an outstanding night, indulging in a truly authentic French dining experience that left us inspired, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a culinary adventure. Thank you to Thomas & Kristy for delivering an exceptional service with personal touches that made the experience feel truly special, a night to remember. Entree - goats cheese on sourdough with balsamic and bloodwood honey served with crisp salad, walnuts semi-dried cherry tomatoes and apple Main - confit duck leg with buttery mashed potato and a port wine jus Dessert - 69% french dark chocolate mousse & savarin cake soaked in a rum and citrus syrup with whipped cream
