Cairns is more than just a hub for adventure and natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. It’s also a foodie destination that showcases the region’s rich produce, fresh seafood, and multicultural flavours. Dining in Cairns offers a delightful fusion of local ingredients and international cuisines. From fine dining establishments to bustling street food markets, Cairns serves up a taste of the tropics that is as unique as the landscape itself. 

Take advantage of Cairns’ weather and dine al fresco. Many restaurants offer waterfront dining, where you can sit back, relax and enjoy your meal overlooking the Coral Sea. Restaurants, bars, cafes and bistros line the Esplanade, and the nearby Cairns Waterfront, adding a tropical atmosphere to your dining experience.
