Single female travelling and made to feel really welcome. Poached eggs on sourdough with chilli crisp was amazing! Perfect size and so delicious.

My partner and I stopped into Hail Mary after arriving at Kuranda on the Sky Rail, and we were both extremely impressed. The service was great and the food was perfect. I ordered the Brekkie Burger with fries and my partner had the Avo Toast and both orders were 10/10. The breakfast cocktail I had was similar to an Espresso Martini and it was on point. I only leave reviews when I am very impressed, so I would highly recommend Hail Mary. Thank you for a great feed!

Had a very nice brunch at Hail Mary. Not only was the staff lovely but the food was great and it is ideally located in the markets, overlooking the other shops, but quiet and protected from the Sun.

Staying nearby on a trip from Melbourne, food and coffee were both delicious. Good to know I can get a tasty cold drip coffee this far from home! Eggs bene was also super filling and delicious. Highly Recommend sitting next to the outside view!!
