What’s new, Noosa? Just a host of new bars and eateries to electrify your taste buds. If you’re looking for a great bite to eat, these are the best of the rest, writes Justine Costigan NOOSAVILLE JD’s Chicken Co. Acclaimed chef Justin North and business partner David Singer are rewriting the rotisserie chicken playbook with their take on French -style fire-roasted chicken.

With a focus on local ingredients, the simple menu gets the basics right – think whole birds with a side of creamy mashed potato and gravy, or a roll, burger or fried chicken with chips and salad. It’s not all chook though, red meat aficionados can dig into pulled pork and wagyu beef, while the ‘chickadees’ menu is just right for little tummies. The Co.



offers limited seating, but with the Noosa River just across the road, it’s perfect riverside picnic fare. jdschickenco.com.

The drinks list offers new and old world wines, with an emphasis on everything French, and classic cocktails matched with salty, fishy nibbles or generous charcuterie or cheese boards. Apero is suitably intimate, but pavement tables easily accommodate a crowd.
