Vivo is the more casual end of the Palm Cove dining strip — wood-fired pizzas, pastas, salads, and a bar that does good cocktails. It has been a reliable option for years, popular with families and couples who want a good meal without the formality or price of the resort restaurants.
The outdoor tables under the trees fill quickly on weekend evenings. Service is relaxed in a way that either suits or frustrates depending on your expectations. Go for pizza or the barramundi; both are consistent. Decent wine list with Australian bottles well represented.
