VIDA Mexican Kitchen & Bar to Open at Lowanna Beach Resort on Wednesday, 23 April 2025

An Elevated Dining Experience Inspired by the Flavours and Culture of Mexico
BUDDINA, QLD – 9 APRIL 2025 – VIDA Mexican Kitchen & Bar, a vibrant new addition to the
Sunshine Coast’s dining scene, will officially open its doors in April 2025 at Lowanna Beach
Resort, located at C5/42 Lowanna Dr, Buddina. With a mission to elevate the traditional
Mexican dining experience, VIDA promises a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, perfect for
families, foodies, those seeking a coastal escape, and anyone wanting to enjoy a cocktail in
good company.

Owner and Head Chef Daniel White, a local resident with over 16 years in the hospitality
industry, brings his passion for Mexican culture and cuisine to VIDA. Daniel is Group Executive
Chef for two successful Sunshine Coast restaurants, and his love for Mexico – its food, drinks,
and lifestyle – comes through in every aspect of VIDA. With a background in creating
exceptional dining experiences and a young family of his own, Daniel aims to create a
welcoming and visually captivating space for all guests.

A Taste of Mexico with Coastal Vibes

VIDA offers an elevated approach to Mexican cuisine, combining fresh, high-quality ingredients
with authentic flavours and modern twists. The restaurant’s carefully curated menu features a
mix of bold flavours, delicious cocktails, and stunning presentations that invite guests to savour
every bite. Perfect for a full dining experience or casual post-beach drinks, VIDA captures the
laid-back spirit of the coast while providing an upscale dining atmosphere.
The restaurant’s décor reflects its Mexican influence with terracotta tones and simple, stylish
design elements, making it the ideal spot for guests looking to enjoy a great meal and take
memorable social media photos.

The Race to 5,000 Followers – A Challenge with a Mexican Twist

In the lead-up to VIDA’s grand opening, owner Daniel White has challenged Marketing Manager
Helen Troth to grow the VIDA Mexican Instagram account (@vidamexican) to 5,000 followers
organically – that means no paid ads, no boosts – just the power of people and pure community
hustle. If she pulls it off before opening day (which will be shared on instagram), Daniel has
promised to buy her flights to Mexico! The challenge has already sparked excitement online,
with locals and food lovers jumping on board to help spread the word.
