Why it's worth checking out
Bayleaf Balinese Restaurant sits at the corner of Gatton and Lake Streets at Edge Hill, near central Cairns in tropical-north Queensland. A much-loved Balinese restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, flavour-packed Balinese and Indonesian cooking with good drinks and a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of distinctive, accomplished spot that brings genuine warmth and flavour to the Cairns dining scene.
The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Balinese food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere in a convenient Edge Hill location, ideal for a relaxed dinner, a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out. Authentic Balinese cooking with a genuine point of difference is a real draw, and Bayleaf has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time at Edge Hill.
