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.

鲜！去的比较早，还好有座位，很鲜

Fresh! I went there early, luckily there was a seat, very fresh

全部都是海鲜，非常新鲜，去了两次都排队，提前订位更好一点

All seafood, very fresh. There was a queue twice. It is better to book in advance.

✅必体验：【凯恩斯夜市】凯恩斯的夜晚也没啥娱乐活动，虽然是夜市，但是其实关得比你想象中的早。而且跟亚洲的那种热火朝天人来人往都是小摊的夜市也是完全不同的。📝注意tips：很多饭店，你到了8点多还没到九点的时候去，他们已经在做卫生收尾工作了。真的是一点都不卷，要说还是亚洲人民最勤劳。吃晚饭的话还是早点去。🍺当然一部分的店还是在营业的，就是选择范围比较少了。👍最推荐：推荐Prawn Star Bar的船菜，来一份超大份的海鲜拼盘，三文鱼🍣龙虾🦞生蚝🦪大虾🦐吃到你爽！坐在船上一边品酒一边海鲜，一边吹吹海风，不能更惬意了。Prawn Star Cairns  #出国旅行有BUFF

✅ Must-try:
[Cairns Night Market]
There&#39;s not much entertainment in Cairns at night. Although it&#39;s a night market, it actually closes earlier than you might expect. It&#39;s completely different from the bustling, crowded night markets of Asia, where stalls and vendors are everywhere.

📝 Tips:
Many restaurants will already be cleaning up if you arrive after 8 PM but before 9 PM. It&#39;s truly unpredictable. I&#39;d say Asians are the most hardworking. For dinner, it&#39;s best to go early.

🍺Of course, some restaurants are still open, but the selection is limited.

👍 Highly Recommended:
I highly recommend the boat food at Prawn Star Bar. Get the massive seafood platter&mdash;salmon, lobster, oysters, and king prawns! Sit on the boat, savoring seafood, enjoying a glass of wine, and feeling the ocean breeze&mdash;it couldn&#39;t be more relaxing. Prawn Star Cairns

Prawn Star 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.

No. 1 of Local Restaurants in Cairns

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.

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.

No. 3 of Restaurants for Views & Experiences in Cairns

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.
