A chilled  place to have dinner. Food was delicious and they had live music which unfortunately finished by 6:30pm on a Friday night, so that was disappointing as we booked this place due to the advertised live music for dinner.

Even though it was pouring rain, there was still a good atmosphere. Very airy and fresh looking. Staff were friendly. We ordered sparkling mineral water but when we opened the bottle it was still water. Was looking forward to the Vietnamese Salad listed on the menu on the fork however there was no Vietnamese salad so this needs to be updated. Otherwise it was a pleasant evening.

Great location on Cairns Esplanade. Cool on a hot night. Great live music only wish they had played longer. Friendly staff. Burger was delicious and hot chips were served hot! Great Friday night vibe and will definitely go back.

A lovely evening celebrating the end of another successful &lsquo;dance mum&rsquo; year, with the bonus of drag Queen bingo!  Food was delicious and came out quickly, bar staff friendly. A very enjoyable evening.

One of my favourite drink stops in Cairns happy hour (1700-1800)or not, great venue located smack bang in the middle of the esplanade. Staff are always courteous and happy, food and drink is great and priced reasonably(especially happy hour), amenities are clean, great for watching the world pass by.

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.

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

After taking the kids to visit the Cairns Aquarium and Art Gallery, we were going to have lunch in front of the nearby lagoon pool. We chose this restaurant on the roadside. Although it doesn&#39;t look big, it is always crowded with customers. It is located in the center of Cairns, near the entrance of the night market, so it is easy to find. The overall store is relatively clean and bright. We ordered several signature noodles, fried chicken, Thai milk juice, etc. The flavor is quite authentic. I didn&#39;t expect to have such a good set meal in Cairns. I recommend it to friends who come to Cairns!

The taste is very good, very authentic, especially refreshing and goes well with rice, there are many dishes, the ingredients are very fresh, the portions are large, parking is very convenient, the surrounding environment is beautiful, and the service attitude is very good.

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!
