Bayleaf Balinese Restaurant
Bayleaf Balinese Restaurant Review
Dining in the open-sided restaurant or alfresco under the glow of tiki torches, you can enjoy some of the most delicious, innovative cuisine in North Queensland. An expansive menu combines traditional Balinese spices with native Australian ingredients—this may be the only place where you'll have the opportunity to try crocodile satay. The pork in sweet soy sauce sounds simple, but is mouthwatering. The classic rijsttafel feast for two—rice with lots of curries, salads, fish dishes, stews and pickle sides (and if you can squeeze them in, desserts)—is the best way to sample the Bali-trained chefs' masterly cooking. Don't eat lunch if you're planning to order the rijstaffel at dinner—it's huge.
