Humble on Duke

Humble on Duke is a small restaurant in Sunshine Beach with a focus on handmade food, seasonal produce and generous hospitality. The menu draws on Middle Eastern cooking and the long history of Persian, Ottoman, Levantine, Arab and Mediterranean food cultures, while staying approachable and suited to a relaxed dining room.

Food is designed for sharing, with a format that can include snacks, a larger dish, sides and dessert. Diners can choose from the available menu or leave the selection to the kitchen, depending on the style of meal preferred. The offering changes regularly in response to the seasons, with local produce and fresh ingredients guiding the cooking.

Grilled meat is an important part of the kitchen's style, alongside vegetable-led dishes and flavours built around herbs, spices, grains and other ingredients associated with the Middle East. The cooking has a handmade, homestyle quality rather than the structure of a formal degustation, making the experience suitable for diners who enjoy thoughtful food without an overly polished or formal atmosphere.

The drinks list focuses on wines from Australia, New Zealand and other regions overseas, with options available by the glass or bottle. Wine pairing can be arranged with the food, or diners can select their own bottles and glasses to suit the table.

Humble on Duke suits intimate dinners, shared meals and occasions where the food is intended to unfold over several courses rather than arrive as a quick meal. The compact dining room adds to the personal style of the restaurant, while the service is centred on making guests feel comfortable. Families with children who are confident eaters are also welcomed, with children dining from the same menu format as adults.

Located at Shop 4/48-54 Duke Street, Humble on Duke offers a distinctive Sunshine Coast dining experience built around seasonal Middle Eastern-inspired food, Australian and international wine, and an informal approach to hospitality.
