SINCE 1920 the building that houses Maisie’s Seafood and Steakhouse has stood proudly on Gympie Terrace facing the famous Noosa River.
The iconic building holds years of history for the people of Noosa, with Jiddy Massoud being the first owner of the building that housed the Massoud family’s district cafe.
The black and white photos that line the walls of the family restaurant depict a time when life was more simple; a golden era for Noosa when fishermen would share their catch and only a handful of homes lined the river.
Local stories include tales of Maisie’s pianola being rolled out to Gympie Terrace, which was a dirt road at the time, to be played for the enjoyment of the WWII troops who would deliver supplies to the restaurant when times were tough.
The troops, who used Noosa River as a training ground, would drive their amphibious crafts right up to the restaurant and dine at the Massoud family cafe.
Now owned by Ziggy and Julie Fiegl, none of the historical elements of Maisie’s have been lost from the original decor to the good old-fashioned meals on offer; a meal at Maisie’s is a chance to step back in time and see the history of Noosa.
With the coming winter season, Maisie’s will remain the locals’ favourite with affordable meal options such as the crab and green-lip mussel tagliatelle with sea urchin butter and apple and sultana strudel with custard and ice-cream for only $29.50.
Pies and winter desserts are also coming to the menu soon so keep an eye out for the new specials at Maisie’s or like their Facebook page to keep up to date, simply search for Maisie’s Seafood and Steakhouse.
