The Perfect Bite in Noosa: Why I Always Return to Raw + Rice
As someone who travels extensively along the eastern seaboard of Australia for work, finding reliable, fresh, and satisfying food can sometimes be a challenge. Whether I’m inspecting sites or managing projects for Australian Dilapidation Services (AusDilaps)—where we specialize in engineering and dilapidation services—I always make time for the things I love most. And when I’m in Noosa Heads, there’s only one stop on my must-visit list: Raw + Rice on Hastings Street.
My Go-To Dish: The Salmon Bowl
The moment I step into Raw + Rice, I know exactly what I’m ordering: the Salmon Bowl, with a little personal twist—extra mayo and a generous sprinkle of crisp garlic.
The combination of flavours and textures is unparalleled. The freshness of the salmon paired with the creamy sesame mayo, the crunch of the vegetables, and that added kick of crisp garlic take this bowl to the next level. It’s healthy, satisfying, and full of bold flavours—everything I need for a nourishing meal after a long day of work or travel.
Why Raw + Rice Stands Out
What makes Raw + Rice a standout for me is the consistency in quality. Every bowl is packed with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, which I value as much in my meals as I do in my professional projects. Their location on Hastings Street in Noosa Heads only adds to the experience—there’s nothing like grabbing my favorite poke bowl, sitting by the beach, and unwinding in one of the most beautiful spots in Australia.
As someone who’s always on the move, Raw + Rice has become a place I look forward to visiting. It’s not just a meal; it’s a moment of calm, flavor, and appreciation for great food prepared with care.
Can’t Wait for My Next Visit
Every time I’m back in Noosa, my first stop is Raw + Rice. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend the Salmon Bowl—don’t forget to try it with extra mayo and crisp garlic for that perfect finishing touch!
Raw + Rice has set the bar high for fresh, healthy dining, and I can’t wait for my next visit.
