At a glance
Moku Bar + Grill is a tropical restaurant and bar at 122 Lake Street, set within a resort beside a turquoise lagoon. In Cairns, the venue brings together open-air dining, modern coastal styling and a relaxed holiday atmosphere, with palms, poolside spaces and a swim-up bar shaping the experience.
The kitchen focuses on island-inspired food made for sharing, with tropical flavours and a seasonal selection that suits casual grazing or a longer meal. The menu spans breakfast, lunch and dinner, while the grill provides a more substantial option for diners looking for a full plate. Share-style dining makes the venue a practical choice for groups who prefer to order several dishes for the table.
Moku’s bar centres on light, fresh and fruity drinks, including tropical cocktails and familiar spirits from around the world. The swim-up setting gives the drinks service a resort feel, while the terrace bar provides a place to settle in away from the pool. The atmosphere is designed around easy daytime lounging and balmy evening dining rather than formal restaurant service.
The restaurant includes alfresco seating overlooking the lagoon, with cabanas and daybeds available within the beach club area. Pool access is connected to a day-pass arrangement for visitors who are not staying at the resort, subject to capacity controls. This adds a leisure-focused option for a slow afternoon of swimming, cocktails and shared food.
Moku suits diners seeking a casual tropical setting for breakfast, a poolside drink, a shared meal or an informal group gathering. Walk-ins are welcome, while advance bookings are particularly relevant for larger parties. The combination of all-day dining, a dedicated bar and resort-style outdoor spaces gives the venue flexibility across different occasions, from a daytime catch-up to an evening meal under the palms.
