Blue Moon Grill

Top choice in Cairns & Far North Queensland


An inventive and slightly overwhelming menu of original dishes is presented with passion at this cosy family-run bistro two blocks back from the beach. Where else can you try crocodile popcorn or barramundi spring rolls? Seafood, including oysters, is a speciality.
