Dined twice at Nu Nu while staying at Peppers Palm Cove on a five day break. Lunch and dinner menu is the same but it's generous and varied. Lunch was so good we booked again for dinner that same day! Highly recommend the Lamb Parcels and XO Buns... just divine. For dinner that same evening hubby and I shared THE... More

Thanks Nu Nu for a great relaxing birthday lunch for my partner. We opted for our own share-degustation. We had 10 courses and matched our own wine by the glass. Great wine list and well priced 'by the glass'. Such a great variety of food to choose from on the menu, too. The picks for us were the crispy oysters... More

The menu intrigued us and when we saw the reasonable prices, we knew that we needed to visit. My husband had the Snapper with the squid ink on a parsnip puree - which he enjoyed. I had duck with curry. It met my desire to eat something with a little bit of a flavor hit. The wine list provided some... More

My husband and I dined at NuNu for our 1st year wedding anniversary recently and found the food, atmosphere and staff incredible and we felt leaving very special indeed. Our waitress/waiter during the evening was friendly, professional and wonderful to chat to about travelling and our wine passion and recommended us to try their reserved Pinot Noir (Argyle) which was...

A trip to Palm Cove shouldn't be complete without dining at Nu Nu's, the food is modern, local and fairly priced. The service is smooth and friendly without any of the big city snobbiness and the venue is in a prime location shared with several of Palm Cove's finest overlooking the pristine beach.

We recently celebrated my husbands 40th Birthday with a large group of friends at Nu Nu. The night was fantastic, the food was spectacular and the service the brilliant! The email correspondence leading up to the big night was very helpful and no detail was missed. Our guests are still raving about it, thanks to everyone at Nu Nu.

Probably the best dessert we've had in a long time! Service was very friendly and a nice decor. Very keen to come back again and try more of the menu.

The food here is very tasty and creative. We had two really delicious dinners. Especially enjoyed the tamarind mud crab (which is a lot of work) and the fresh hearts of palm salad.

Great location across the road from the beach. The service from the wait staff was fantastic. The waitress in particular whose name I don't remember, was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. I thoroughly enjoyed my Massaman Fish Curry - best ever. The size was perfect. My husband and son enjoyed their meals too but would have like more.... More

The ambience is superb. Request a table at the front where the view to the beach, through the ancient paperbark trees, sets the scene for a very special experience. The location sets the bar high but Nick Holloway and his crew clear it with flying colours. Our table of four shared some spectacular food. Josie and Gavin, our wait staff,... More
