The restaurant is much better than other restaurants we visited elsewhere. Their signature dishes include stuffed octopus, Greek lamb garlic mash and vegetables, and don&#39;t miss their desserts. The custard dessert is amazing, and the Greek coffee is also worth a try! Eat on the balcony overlooking the Esplanade.

晚上抵达凯恩斯，随便找了一家味道还不错

Arrived in Cairns at night, and found a restaurant that tasted good.

Restaurant had lovely ambience. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious!!!!!!! Would definitely go there again and again

A super great experince. This is excaly how i want my resturant visit to be. The food was 10/10 and the staff was amazing! Specialy the manager, he gave us free pita bread to without us asking. Also ended it with some suprise dessert for me and my partner, and it was on the house. So 10/10

Could not fault this dining experience. The food was beautiful, fantastic service and a stunning view. What&#39;s not to love?

My husband and I had a marvelous dinner here.  The food is authentic Greek, reminding us of our trip through Greece.  The owner checked on us several times to make sure all was good.  The service was attentive - including cleaning the table between courses and replacing utensils.  Prices were very reasonable.   In all, an outstanding meal in Cairns.

You can eat kangaroo meat, crocodile meat, and ostrich meat here. The seafood platter is enough for at least three people, and there are also a lot of fruits. The taste is normal. It is near the pier, and the scenery should be more beautiful if you come at five or six o&#39;clock. The staff here are very humorous and will give guests suggestions on ordering dishes.

I checked out a Spanish-style restaurant that was listed in the local Ctrip Food Forest restaurant list. Their dishes were really good, especially the smoked ham, which really amazed me.

Highly recommended! Don&#39;t just focus on the trendy restaurants in Cairns! Hidden next to the Pullman Hotel is a standalone Italian-style restaurant &ndash; Piccolo Cucina &ndash; a must-visit! 🔥 It&#39;s famous for its delicious food, but it&#39;s a seriously underrated gem.

Atmosphere: A cozy Italian haven

The restaurant is a separate building with greenery outside. Stepping inside feels like entering a family kitchen in the Italian countryside. Warm yellow lighting, vintage posters on the walls, and the aroma of wheat wafting from the open kitchen create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for couples or small gatherings with friends.

Food: Authentic Italian flavor in every bite

&bull; Pizza: The freshly baked wood-fired pizza is their signature dish! The crust is thin and crispy with a slightly charred aroma, the edges slightly puffed up, and you can taste the sweet aftertaste of wheat. The cheese is generously portioned, stretching for half a meter, paired with a sweet and sour sauce based on fresh tomatoes &ndash; refreshing and not greasy, every bite is pure bliss.

&bull; Pasta: The special sauce is the soul of the dish! I ordered the classic Bolognese pasta. The sauce was thick and rich, coating every strand of pasta, with a subtle hint of spice enhancing the flavor&mdash;far superior to any instant sauce. Apparently, the sauce is simmered fresh for four hours daily, no wonder you can taste the dedication.

&bull; Steak: I was just trying something casual, but I was blown away! I chose the Australian Wagyu ribeye, cooked to medium-rare, perfect. The skin was crispy and fragrant, while the inside was tender and juicy. Paired with the black pepper sauce, the meaty flavor exploded in my mouth&mdash;it felt authentically Italian.

Small Details: Attention to Detail

Most of the servers were Italian, and they enthusiastically recommended the day&#39;s specials, even telling me that pizza is best eaten hot. The complimentary dessert was homemade tiramisu, with a perfect balance of liqueur and coffee flavors&mdash;a perfect ending.

If you&#39;re staying at the Pullman, it&#39;s right outside the door; no need to go far. Tired of seafood in Cairns? Try something different here and you&#39;ll be pleasantly surprised!

This steak house in Cairns is very good. Not only can you taste steak here, but also pork ribs. All the steaks are soaked in sauce and then fried, so they are very flavorful. It is really quite good. Paired with a baguette and a cup of coffee, it is absolutely delicious.

A seafood restaurant with high reviews. When I arrived, I found that it was on a boat at Cairns wharf. There were only a few simple seafood dishes and platters. The cooking methods were either raw or boiled. It was very primitive. I ordered a small platter for $60. The salmon was very fresh and the thick cubes were good. The shrimps were really big and chewy. It was the first time I had Thousand Island sauce. Some were not very fresh. I still don&rsquo;t know what the sea bug tasted like. The shrimps looked a bit ugly. The oysters were fresher than the ones I had in Melbourne before, but they were still a bit fishy when eaten raw. I was not used to it. Since we were on the boat, the sea breeze blew over and swayed for a long time. I felt a little dizzy while eating. In addition, we had to keep waving flies in the open air to eat fresh food.
