Cairns Dining
Cairns Dining
Nightlife
Cairns restaurants rank among the best in Australia. Considering our small population and status as a regional centre in Queensland, we are lucky to have such a wide variety of quality cuisine at our doorstep. Dining in Cairns is unique because we have access to outstanding fresh local produce (especially seafood), and also because the thriving tourism industry attracts world-renowned chefs to the region. Locals and tourists must take advantage of the flourishing dining establishments in Cairns. But for some people, the selection of quality restaurants is so large that choosing a special place to have a meal has been more trouble than it's worth.
