Extreme good restaurant! Very fresh seafood can be found in this slightly out of the way place. With an innovative menu that doesn't ignore the delight of classic fish and chips, and an interesting, white dominated wine list, this is a fine place for a visit.

We dined in the restaurant/bistro at The Treasure Island Holiday Park twice while we were staying there and found the food to be very fresh, properly prepared, of generous portions (even the children's meals), promptly and politely served. It was really handy having this facility on the site and they also catered to take-away which is marvelous. It is not gourmet dining by any stretch of the imagination but it is licenced and very comfortable.
I loved the chicken schnitzel and had it served with chips and a fresh side salad. My son chose a chicken with avacado and white wine sauce on one occasion and found it to be very tasty.

 We dined at this table . by wise23girl
Soft music was playing, the waiters moved around with quiet elegance, and the tables glistened in soft white elegant settings with marvelous decorated plates to add to the interest during our recent visit.
I have chosen to write this up under Queensland as Marco Polo certainly deserves to represent our state as well as the capital, Brisbane.
Stuffed zuccini flowers as an entree .Our host recommended this dish and it was just divine.
Crispy skin squab pigeon, red dates, daikon, wood ear mushrooms, water chesnuts and five spice consomme. This was something different for me as I usually order fish. I really enjoyed the unusual flavour.
All of the guests at our table were more than happy with the beautifully presented food. Cooked to perfection.
None of us wanted anything from the "sweet fixation" menu and the chef was happy to serve a simple "strawberries and icecream" choice...which was enjoyed by all.
There is an extensive wine list and the waiters advised us well. Just the" right drop" to suit the occasion.
Marco Polo is open for dinner every night . Usually you need to book especially week ends.

You then take the lift up one floor or walk up the elegant stair case. There is a George ST car park. .Website: www.conradtreasury.com.au

Soft Italian music playing as we open the door of Emilia's. And such intriguing decor . Really it was a "bit of a find". And right in the middle of Gympie town. Around the shop are hotels from the beginning of Gympie in the gold rush era and up the road the local RSL.
One of the locals told my daughter about Emilia's so here we were for lunch.
This is a cafe only and open Monday to Friday :8am to 5pm.
It would be a nice day trip from Sunshine Coast and you could call in to the Historical and Gold Museum as well. Or head on to Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach.
Giovanni and Jodi Giorno advertise as "Purveyors of Fine Delicacies, Cakes,Coffee,& Cheese.
My choice for lunch was Kilkivan ham with roast vegetables dukhkah $11.90
There were some unique desserts too :Ysha's kisses , and Vanilla Rose Petal (well if they are not unique please let me know) Leave a Comment Theme: ItalianPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 201 Mary St GympiePhone: +61 7 5482 8885Directions: Find the main "drag" and the RSL and just a few doors down the hill you will find Emilia's

 a Spirit House dish by wise23girl
Most of the dining is "al fresco"
And they run a cooking school and there is a shop...just peek at the website for all that.
You might even find some frozen food on sale...from "The Spirit House"
Food tends to be Asian with a leaning towards Thai.
One of the latest ideas here is "shared dining" so you can sample more than one of the dishes on offer. "Plates are designed to share". Chinese places do this of course but not with this elegance.
I do find price per person below a bit tricky...is this for a main course or "all inclusive" or what?.
For a sharing plate entrees , a couple glasses wine and a main you need to allow about $A80 but of course tthat does not include sweets or the most expensive fare.
From the Shared Dining menu:
Steamed ***ake(you have to be joking this is a genuine dish) Mushroom Dumplings & Cashews with Sweet Ginger Lime Sauce.
$14 So tasty.

Oh we love "mince on toast" You do not find that much anymore especially the home cooked variety.

Another favourite eating place in Queensland, the dining area in the Crocodylus resort.
Eating in an open area in the rainforest, so you had the view of the surrounding vegetation and the noises of the birds, frogs etc. Also, the staff were all very friendly and laid back. Generally a very relaxing location and atmosphere. Though not for those who like formal dining.
The pancakes with maple syrup served at breakfast. They were HUGE but tasted so nice I managed to eat the whole serving, much to the astonishment of others at my table!!!
