Up visiting from Brisbane and popped in for a quick lunch and the service, atmosphere and food were fantastic. When back in town will definitely return and 10/10 recommend
With outdoor and indoor seating available, lovely in all weather. Friendly service, and just across the beach, best in summer when one can start off with a drink watching the view while pondering what to have. We started off with a beautiful scallop entree.
The restaurant has both extensive alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
I had the spanner crab linguine which is the recommended dish. As expected, it was delicious, although it was a little on the saltier side.
We had entrees of tuna tartare, pork, both great, and for main the eye fillet with radicchio salad. All the food was wonderfully balanced and tasty. Great friendly and attentive service. Couldn’t fault the place. We are going back for round 2!
This restaurant not disappointed. Ambiance was good and seating also good. I like environment and food taste was good
Nothing bad to say about this place
Venue is spectacular
Old house on the main strip turned into a open resteraunt
Drinks were superb, Hendricks gin and tonic, and French martini
Service was great, we had a lovely lady who looked after us all night
Foods were great, chef was fantastic, flavours that we never thought would go together did
Some of the freshest tuna and oysters my partner and I have had anywhere in the world!
And then the mains just topped off a pretty perfect experience
Will be back 100%
So impressed! Went with a group of 10 people and none of us could fault it. The service was amazing & we are so grateful for the effort they went to. Food was amazing & highly recommend saving room for dessert!!
Authentic Italian cuisine .We ordered two spaghetti linguini together with a Radicchio salad including pine nuts and pistachio orange salad .The meal was outstanding and delicious.Service is very efficient and very courteous.We completed the meal with an authentic Genovese Italian latte.Will definitely return .
Been to Vivo on three separate occasions during our week long stay in Palm Cove, and I am yet to fault this place! Service is outstanding, cocktails delicious and food fantastic! We have dined in for the $25 dinner special which consisted of garlic prawn linguini and a glass of wine, then again for cocktails and tapas for happy hour, and lastly for the three course menu special. Genuinely faultless. Kudos also to the waiter who would bring me a blanket when I was cold (I know, who’d have thought a) that I would need a blanket in FNQ and b) that they would have them for use at the restaurant. It’s been an unusually cold week in Palm Cove!). Just goes to show the level of service at this venue. A great dining experience every time and our favourite spot to eat and drink in Palm Cove.
Amazing !!!
I had the crab omelette it was to die for
The service is lovely the atmosphere is perfect
If you’re visiting palm cove , please stop in for a meal
Really beautiful place right on the beach, the food was delicious as was the wine and service. Will be going back for sure 😊 not a bad word to say totally enjoyed this place.
We had a dinner at Vivo Palm Cove and everything was just amazing.
Quality food and great professional service.
Pasta was one of (if not the best) ones we have had in Australia. Cocktails were also delicious.
I'd recommend this place for high quality food and memorable nights. Great for a date night.
Excellent food and amazing service !!!
We had our last dinner there for the trip and what a great experience it was. Right from the get go, the staff were attentive and welcoming. The menu has great dishes to choose from. Keep up the good work guys !!!
Beautiful location right on esplanade beach front. Delicious Asian inspired menu. Cocktails were also very nice. Will definitely come back here again when holidaying in Palm cove. Staff were very attentive and friendly.
We had a great experience dining at Vivo. The service was excellent, despite it being busy. We ordered the crab linguini and mushroom pasta, which I had with gluten free pasta. The cocktail list is extensive and they were able to make many of the options as mocktails.
We had lunch at Vivo and it was probably the best meal in Palm Cove. All of the flavours were delicious with the standout dish being the braised beef with Singaporean flavours.
Service was friendly and efficient and you really felt taken care of. Definitely one o want to return to!
This to me is a special place. It felt special. The atmosphere, the staff, the owners, the guests. It just felt very good.
Very large restaurant, plenty of seating inside and on the many verandahs. With the beach across the road, it is a beautiful setting.
Today I was just able to try their coffee and muffin deal. Great coffee, very nice muffin. Very good value. Worth trying, at least once !
Would love to come back here and try some of their main dishes.
If the weather isn’t good
You need food to boost your mood.
I know these days are very windy in Palm Cove. Everytime it comes, the first thing that pops in my head is hot & spicy food.
But instead of chili, I prefer pepper because it makes my stomach warm rather than hot or even burn 🔥
Finally I found the perfect food for my craving. The taste was fulfilling my needs and expectations. Also the rib was cooked perfectly, very tender and juicy.
Yum!
I only hope the salad has more flavor.
My other food suggestions are wood fired ciabatta and salmon sashimi as entrée. The confit garlic is a bomb.
For cocktail I strongly recommended Caramelised Pineapple Daiquiri and French Margarita.
Best pairings for spicy food.
