Cairns dining out

1 min read admin_paris


Cairns dining ranges from casual Esplanade meals to seafood and modern Australian spots around the CBD and foreshore. After a reef day, keep dinner simple and close to where you are staying.

If you have a free evening, look for fresh seafood, tropical produce, and places with outdoor seating. Book ahead on weekends and during peak holiday weeks.
