About Nu Nu
Nu Nu has been cooking on the sand at Palm Cove since 2004, run by the same four owners from the start. It sits on Veivers Road at the beach, with coconut palms above and the Coral Sea in front of the tables. For private events the doors close to other diners and the whole place works for your group alone, from the kitchen through to the floor team. The room holds about 140 seated at a long banquet or 250 for a standing cocktail party. Weddings are a big part of the events side. Ceremonies can be held on the beach or in a white timber chapel under the palms next to the restaurant, followed by dinner inside or at long tables set on the sand with lanterns hung through the trees. The menu draws on reef, rainforest, cane and cattle country, so expect reef fish, tiger prawns, tropical fruit, coconut and chilli. The kitchen works around coeliac, vegan and most allergy requirements, and the wine list leans Australian. Events are run by the Nu Nu events team, who answer enquiries within a business day and explain how a sole-use night works. Groups too big for a standard table can also reserve a section of the restaurant rather than the whole room.

Frequently asked questions
How many guests can Nu Nu hold for a private event?
Taking the whole restaurant suits up to 250 people standing or about 140 at a seated banquet.
Can we get married here?
Yes. The events team runs ceremonies on the beach at Palm Cove and in the timber chapel beside the restaurant, with the reception at Nu Nu afterwards.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. Let the team know when booking; the kitchen cooks for coeliac, vegan and most allergy needs at every service.
Can guests using a wheelchair get in?
Access works on the front deck, but the main dining room has steps at the entry and no ramp. Mention access needs when booking so the deck can be set aside.
Can we reserve part of the restaurant instead?
Yes. Regular bookings take up to 15 people, and larger groups can ask the events team for a section of the restaurant with their date, headcount and preferred style of service.
