JuJu

JuJu arrives in Mermaid Beach as the hot new opening at Nobby’s Rooftop Bar, pairing a sleek, modern fit-out with a refined-but-relaxed mood. Downstairs, the loungey restaurant sets the stage for contemporary Australian cooking, premium cuts and polished service, while upstairs the open-air rooftop trades in cocktails, small bites and panoramic coastal views.

In the kitchen, the flavours are coastal, clean and quietly decadent. Oysters with champagne mignonette open brightly, followed by the signature Juju Lobster Roll, where sweet lobster and yuzu tuck into a soft milk bun. A pan-seared scallop finds harmony with sweetcorn and sauce vierge, lifted by pickled strawberry; steak tartare gets a bracing kick of horseradish and cured egg yolk. Mains turn indulgent with Glacier 51 Toothfish glazed in ginger jus beside charred leek and smoked coconut, or duck breast glossed with cherry and seasonal berry. Wagyu Cube Roll and a showstopping Wagyu Tomahawk headline the grill, flanked by classic sauces and sides like potato aligot or shoestring fries dusted with truffle pecorino.

Pastry swings from bright to opulent: strawberry and shiso sorbet with nitro strawberry and macadamia, or a chocolate, plum and macadamia cake finished with chocolate ganache and plum coulis. As golden hour melts into night, the rooftop’s lively, music-driven energy builds, DJs set the tempo, and long lunches ease into dancing. Book your spot, chase the sunset, and let the good times roll.
