Great cocktails and good bar food. Their chips are to die for! A good friend recently told me they were the best she'd ever had. Happy Hour is often from 3pm.

Good pub food and friendly staff. Just your typical Aussie Surf Club. No pretension here but the view is a million dollar one!

This place almost never shuts, from breakfast to a late night cocktail (and those are amazing!) A young and friendly vibe. Your visit to Palm Cove is incomplete without a stop here.
Directly across Veivers Road from NuNu and the view is nearly as good.

OMG Cafe Palm Cove
A Cairns favourite. Classy but accessible. Breakfast to dinner.
Award winning international grade 5 star with an ambiance and view that is arguably the best in North Queensland and gives the capital cities a run for their money. Pricey but worth it for that special occasion in Palm Cove. Try the lemon bread starter.
NOTE: The address is 1 Veivers Road.
