Prepare for an unforgettable long lunch at Bandita Mexican, where the bold, vibrant flavours of Mexico meet the refined expertise of two culinary powerhouses—Aaron Turner (Igni, Songbird Thai, Hot Chicken Project, OK Smash) and Jason Jones (Bandita, The Loco Group Singapore, and former Co-Founder of Mamasita Melbourne).

A true meeting of minds, Aaron and Jason’s careers have spanned the globe, from award-winning fine dining to some of the most celebrated modern Mexican and Thai-inspired eateries. Now, they come together for an exclusive six-course menu, showcasing the best of Sunshine Coast produce—think Mooloolaba prawns, Moreton Bay bugs, and Kin Kin lion’s mane mushrooms—all reimagined through their bold, boundary-pushing lens with influences from both Mexican and Thai cuisine. Expect fire-kissed meats, punchy citrus, fragrant spices, and a fusion of textures that will take your palate on a journey.

To elevate the experience, agave expert Luis Vieyra (Mextrade) will guide you through a curated selection of premium Tequilas and Mezcals, sharing the stories, traditions, and craftsmanship behind these revered Mexican spirits. Expect perfectly matched cocktails, deep flavour explorations, and a journey into the heart of agave culture.

Set against the relaxed Noosa River backdrop, this one-off dining event is a celebration of contemporary Mexican and Thai influences, expertly executed by two of the industry’s best.

Seats are strictly limited—be sure to secure your place at the table.
