Beach Almond

Our family had the absolute pleasure of dining at Beach Almond Beach House in Palm Cove tonight, and it was a truly outstanding experience from start to finish. The menu showcases fresh, local seafood elevated with a beautiful Asian twist, and every dish was thoughtfully crafted, full of flavour, and absolutely delicious. The presentation alone was stunning, making each plate feel special before we even took a bite. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They offered excellent recommendations from the menu and, when serving each dish, thoughtfully explained how best to enjoy the flavours—an extra touch that made the experience even more memorable. The combination of exceptional food, friendly service, and relaxed yet refined atmosphere made this a standout dining experience. We highly recommend Beach Almond Beach House to anyone visiting Palm Cove and would not hesitate to return if we’re ever lucky enough to be back in this beautiful part of the world.

We visited Beach Almond tonight whilst holidaying in Palm Cove, it’s now our annual restaurant we can’t wait to revisit. We have been to Beach Almond 3 times now and have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is fresh and full of flavour. We can’t wait to visit again next year. Thank you for sharing such amazing Asian food. We had the squid and spring rolls to start followed by the crispy whole fish and butter prawns. Amazing.

Just had an amazing dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday at this nice restaurant. Tasty home cooked goodness. We'll back again👍

food was amazing service was great over all lovley expensive but you definitely get your moneys worth in quality and taste awesome place for date night or chill feed by the beach absolutely loved it

Love this place everytime we go to palm cove we go here. We always get the fried whole fish it’s honestly INCREDIBLE, we often get the sticky pork as well and share it all. We are always blown away as the fish the best around. The ginger sauce is so good. Service so friendly

Don't Bother. Much better options available. Read the reviews before booking and thought that this would be great. It was far from great. Spring Rolls were good, the Scallops were over cooked and very small, maybe one scallop sliced in half. Chilli Mud Crab was OK(ish), slightly creamy and not a lot of meat at $180 a crab. Wanted the Lobster and saw the pictures. "No" we could not have it like the pictures, only how it came which was pretty ordinary. Did not expect too much and it certainly delivered, terrible creamy sauce and weird additions to the lobster to extend it out such as calamari. Again, $180 a Lobster. Beef Rendang was excellent. The older lady serving was just plain rude and we should have walked out then and there, while the younger lady was delightful. Had the Duck Duck wine which was also quite good. Suggest as an alternative the Thai a few doors down, the Spanish place Miguel down the road or Nu Nu which also was just excellent.

We had the half lobster seafood platter and a stir fry vegetable with long beans. The lobster was cooked in a coconut turmeric sauce. It was simply delicious. The mussels melts in your mouth, the fried calamari, grilled prawns and barramundi were so fresh and delicious. The salad and dipping sauce goes so well with the dish. The servings were generous and it is reasonably price compare to Melbourne. Michelle looked after us and she was so helpful and friendly in helping us choose our meal. The service and food were first class.

Found this place highly rated on Trip Advisor (which honestly, doesn't really offer that great of places - I almost always turn to Yelp instead) and decided to give it a try! It was very good and the owner/chef even came out to talk to us a bit about the food and his inspiration for it. The corn cakes appetizer was amazing! I highly recommend. For our main, I got the banana leaf barramundi and my fiance got the tiger prawns. Both of which were very flavorful. I maybe would have wanted some more coconut flavor out of the rice and maybe a little more uniqueness out of the side salad. Something to really bring the dish together more. Another appetizer we got were the spring rolls, which could use some more flavor/crunch to them. Other than that though, you could really taste the flavors in the meat/fish that he was trying to bring forward. This place was just what we were looking for. Somewhat of an Australian Fusion restaurant and I highly recommend it!

Ambience 5 stars Service. 5 stars Food. 5 stars We dined here two nights in a row. Fortunately one of the few good restaurants open this time if year (the low season) but the bomb in Palm Cove. Try the whole fried fish with Vietnamese sauce. And for starters the salt and pepper Squid delicious.

This place was/is ranked number one restaurant in Palm Cove when we were here. It deserves it. The food is simply outstanding. We started our meal with an order of the mussels. They were yummy and the largest mussels I have ever seen. The portion was quite small though. They were served more like oysters on the half shell rather than the large pots of them we are used to in the States. For our meal my husband had the Banana leaf barramundi with sweet chili & galangal dipping sauces. This was really good with sweet tender fish that melted in your mouth. I had the Black pepper prawns char grilled with black pepper sauce, salad and jasmine rice. I can not tell you how good this was. I would go back time and time again for this dish!

Great Asian-Seafood, however extremely expensive for very small portions. The kids food menu is very limited and extremely expensive. Kids Fish and chips for $16 is a rip off.

The atmosphere, food, and staff was amazing. The owner himself came over to chat. My husband had the Bali barramundi and I had the Bali prawns. Both were delicious! For dessert, we had the lime creme brûlée. I love to bake and critique desserts extra hard.. this one exceeded all expectations and more! We dug in immediately and I didn't get a photo until it was mostly gone! This place is a must if you are in town.

First time reviewer. In town with extended family and wanted to go somewhere nice to say thanks. Read reviews and was really excited to explore the menu. Extremely disappointed with the experience. Staff were pleasent but service was slow. After waiting for waitress to take our drinks order for a good 45 minutes we ended up going to the bar ourselves and placing an order. The menu looked great. Once again let down when meals arrived. Crispy fish was soft and mushy, papaya salad was bulked up with rice and salad mix (wtf!). Most disappointed by the mud crab which we paid $100 as a real treat only to find that it was virtually empty with very little meat inside. Expressed concerns to staff who apologised but obviously cared very little. Gutted by the experience $500 later and very disappointed. On a positive note flavours were definitely there but less than authentic. After reading rave reviews I felt obliged to share our experience. Perhaps this was a one off? Unfortunately won't be a second time for us hopefully you guys can let us know.

We shared the seafood platter, having been assured that it would be enough for two, and at the end left very hungry! The mud crab was so tasty, however, as was the banana leaf barramundi, that we didn't really mind. I have no idea what was in the sauce for the crab, perhaps lemongrass and chilli and other Asian spices, but it was just lovely! The service was great but I did wish we had a wee bit more food for the amount of money we paid.

Nice location overlooking the beach. Good service. Menu was different to the usual affair, priced medium-high. Food was OK nothing special from my point of view but my partner really enjoyed it. Definitely worth a try for something a bit different.
