Frommer's Review

This popular Cairns institution has moved, and is now located inside the Cairns Yacht Club, with views over the Cairns Inlet. But the essentials haven't changed, with chef Ian Candy still serving up the innovative seafood dishes that have kept the locals patronizing his restaurant for years. The huge 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, maybe in spring rolls with chilli plum sauce, beer-battered, or pan-fried with meuniere on potato mash. There's also pasta, steaks, and Thai-inspired curries. For dessert, have the homemade ice cream with flavors that change each week. There's live jazz on Thursday nights and a singer/guitarist on Friday nights. You'll find the drink prices more than reasonable.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
