Its Palm Cove location and broad offering make it a practical option for visitors and locals looking for an informal restaurant rather than a formal dining setting.

Rattle n Hum’s wider story dates back to 1997, when it began on the Cairns Esplanade before expanding to Port Douglas and then Palm Cove.
