Why it's worth checking out
Nu Nu sits right on the beachfront at Palm Cove, the upmarket, palm-fringed village north of Cairns. One of Tropical North Queensland's most acclaimed restaurants, it's renowned for its modern, produce-driven cooking and its idyllic absolute-beachfront setting — a genuine destination for a special meal in one of the region's most beautiful spots.
The appeal is that combination of genuinely accomplished, tropical-influenced cooking and an unbeatable location, with the sand and sea just steps away. It's the kind of restaurant people seek out for a memorable occasion or simply to treat themselves on a tropical getaway, pairing fine dining with the relaxed glamour of Palm Cove.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 3,800 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners at a high level. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a sought-after, acclaimed beachfront restaurant books out, so it's well worth checking current details and reserving a table directly well ahead — particularly for a weekend, a special occasion, a group, or if you're after a table with the best of the beachfront and visiting in peak season.
