Pucca is a modern coastal Indian restaurant and boutique gin cocktail bar in “The Pavilion” Noosa Junction.
Pucca sources the best local ingredients using artisan producers to provide an original take on southern coastal Indian cuisine with European technique.
The menu showcases delicious starters like the spanner crab samosa with cucumber raita or the baked half-shell scallops with balachaung, bamboo and spring onion.
For the main course, try the Nadan Maleny buffalo marsala, with fried curry leaf, tomato and dill and the Keralan coconut fish curry, with toasted garlic and spring onion, which has fantastic flavour combinations.
To finish, Aunty Carol’s love cake with coconut sorbet and pomegranate, or our favourite is the cinnamon banana fritter with mango Kulfi and coconut sauce.
Pucca’s boutique gin and cocktail bar has over 50 brands from local distillers worldwide. You can enjoy local craft beers and popular signature cocktails like the Eldehara, Pondicherry and Puccalada or select from the wine list.
From the bar, our favourite gins are the “Gin Mare Spain” with olive, grape tomato and Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic or the “Brookie’s Slow Gin” with cherry, mint, soda and tonic.
