Spirit House Restaurant

Spirit House Restaurant is a contemporary Asian dining venue in Yandina on the Sunshine Coast, set within landscaped tropical gardens. The approach leads through a setting of lagoons, pagodas and quiet garden spaces, creating a distinct sense of arrival before the meal begins. The grounds form part of the experience, with space to wander before or after dining.

The restaurant focuses on Asian flavours interpreted through modern technique, with an emphasis on quality ingredients, careful preparation and creative presentation. The style is suited to diners seeking a considered meal in a calm, atmospheric setting rather than a casual café visit. The surrounding gardens and courtyard layout add to the sense of occasion without separating the food from its Asian influences.

Spirit House also operates a cooking school, where participants take part in hands-on classes covering Asian ingredients, cooking methods, recipes and kitchen techniques. Classes include a meal and wine, and are designed for both competent cooks and people looking to build a basic understanding of Asian cooking. The cooking school provides a separate way to experience the venue, with sessions available during the day and on selected evenings.

For private occasions, the venue offers dining spaces within the gardens for celebrations, long lunches, functions and corporate gatherings. A private dining room connects with a Balinese courtyard, while Hong Sa Bar provides a cocktail-focused setting with a relaxed Asian atmosphere. These spaces can support more personal group events, including intimate weddings and small gatherings.

Spirit House suits diners looking for contemporary Asian food in a tranquil garden environment, as well as groups planning a private event or people interested in learning more about Asian cooking. The combination of restaurant, cooking school, gardens, private dining and bar gives the Yandina venue several distinct ways to spend time on the property.
