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'clock. The staff here are very humorous and will give guests suggestions on ordering dishes.
The first meal in Cairns, very exquisite; The environment is very good, with a view of the harbor; I especially recommend the beef shank, it is really delicious and cost-effective, worthy of special recommendation; The fillet steak with red wine sauce is also delicious;

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.
This is a very good steak house in Cairns. The signature here is the fillet steak, of course, the pork ribs are also very good. Paired with a piece of French baguette, a bite of steak and a bite of bread, the taste is really good.
