Frommer's Review

This popular Cairns restaurant is located inside the Cairns Yacht Club. Eat inside (it's air-conditioned), outside on the timber deck, or on the veranda overlooking the beach and Trinity Inlet. Chef -- and sailor -- Ian Candy serves up innovative seafood dishes that have kept the locals patronizing his restaurants for years. The menu features "everything from burgers to lobster," and there are up to 15 specials daily. The local barramundi, or "barra," shows up in several incarnations, and there's also pasta, steaks, and Thai-inspired curries. Live jazz plays on Thursday nights. Drink prices are more than reasonable.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
