This rooftop bar is a cool refuge from the humid boardwalk where you have a cool breeze and excellent view of the lagoon areas. We were warmly welcomed and given an excellent table along the rooftop edge. We enjoyed cold Great Northern beer, fried sweet potato wedges and Ashi tempura battered shrimp… lovely!

A wonderful fusion of Vietnamese and French flavours in a beautiful setting with great service! I've lived in Cairns for years and thought this was just another standard restaurant but it's great food and service! They treat locals well, and have an incredible selection of food and drinks. Good cocktails and lots of vegetarian and vegan options. We'll be going back for sure!
