Had lunch at Harry's Bistro yesterday, the Bistro is in an awesome position directly across the road from the beach. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which is all easy access. The menu includes fish n chips, burgers, pizzas and pastas. We went with the barramundi and chips with salad and also the satay. Everything was tasty and service was friendly. Chevk them out if you're looking for a chill lunch place!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally—a bistro that cares. Harry Beach Bistro in Caloundra is an absolute gem. The beachy vibe, funky outdoor lighting, and old pizza stove give it so much character. It’s not just cute—it’s soulful. The food? Wow. • Pizza crust: crispy perfection. • Schnitzel: fresh, crunchy, and satisfying. • Gelato: hands down the best I’ve had—creamy, bold, unforgettable. You can feel the love in every dish. This place isn’t just for tourists—it’s for us locals too. We’re treated like royalty, and the team is genuinely grateful we’re there. Friendly, attentive, and full of heart. If you want incredible food, a relaxed vibe, and service that makes you feel seen Harry’s is it. And yes Harry is there. Come say hi. Incredibly friendly guy who is grateful to service the community.

The customer service was absolutely amazing the gentleman who served us was so lovely, friendly, and welcoming. Didn’t have to wait long at all and we ordered quite a fair bit. He even gave my niece a complimentary ice cream, which made her day! The food was also incredible, and the whole atmosphere felt so positive thanks to his big smile and great energy. Highly recommend we’ll definitely be back!

The whole experience at Harry's Beach Bistro was a delightful way to begin a few days in the area. I was warmly welcomed by Robyn who continued to care for me extremely well throughout the evening. She was attentive (without being intrusive), engaging and genuine, interested and interesting. I was the beneficiary of a slightly quieter night, because Robyn had a little more time to chat while I decided what to order. After a Margarita (the drink not the pizza!) I decided on the garlic prawns with fetuccini and veges. A wonderful choice! The prawns were succulent and delicious, the fetuccini was al dente and the creamy sauce was fantastic. I finished the night with a chocolate pudding with chocolate icecream. But delicious and even better together! I had wanted the Tiramisu but a previous customer had bought the last one that day, so I will need to go back! At the end of the night I got to chat to the owners who were friendly and genuinely interested in feedback. I could not recommend this place highly enough. If you are a local or visiting Caloundra/Kings Beach, check out Harry's Beach Bistro!
