Vivo Palm Cove

Vivo sits on Williams Esplanade at Palm Cove, one of the most beautiful and relaxed beachside villages near Cairns in tropical north Queensland. A well-loved beachfront restaurant, it makes the most of its lovely position — combining quality food and drinks with a gorgeous absolute-beachfront setting, the kind of relaxed yet special spot perfectly placed for a meal with an ocean outlook.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a stunning beachfront setting on the palm-fringed Palm Cove esplanade, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner or drinks watching the sea. On one of the loveliest beaches near Cairns, the location alone makes it a standout, and Vivo has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,600 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront restaurant fills up over weekends and the tourist season, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a table with the beach views, dining with a group, or visiting Palm Cove in peak season.
