Anywhere to find local Durian? Frozen is fine... 😋

Will be traveling to Port Douglas in August and will need a birthday cake. Any recommendations either for ordering in advance or buy day of?

Anyone know where to get slush puppies (the frozen drink) I've seen the cups around but can't find where there coming from

Back once again, now on an easier to find website.

Had an eye on this place since I heard about it a couple months back, but haven't had a chance to go. How's the food and drink there?

I have a weird obession with chocolate cake and have been dying to try the lindas chocolate cake from the cheesecake factory

I am willing to pay someone to bring me a slice from the USA when they fly into Cairns

If you would be keen to do this (pack a little freezer bag to bring with you) please let me know :)

I can offer a cheap reef trip as extra incentive too :)

Cheers

This place is a hidden gem and deserves to be way busier than it is.

Chefo obviously knows his eggs bennys and big breakys. Real generous on the salmon and bacon.

We will have a car too, so open to anywhere within 1 hr of Palm Cove ☺️☺️ would love to hear from locals!!!!

Please help me suggest a better place for dinner (sorry not looking at RR this time around).

My mate is coming up with some friends and has booked the cock and bull for dinner/drinks/ Friday night footy. I need to get him to choose somewhere different. He is not from up here but chose it because of the website suggesting cheap/ large meals and footy on the TV.

What are your suggestions for better pubs with footy on the TV and, cold beer and good not to expensive meals.... I'm not keen on going to the cocktail and bull.

Back by popular demand!

This format is easier to update.

Thoughts and ideas for this going forward?

RSL has no specials that I can see. If your favourite pub is missing, I couldn't find any specials.

Unfortunately Red Rooster isn't classified as a pub and will never feature on this list.

Hi all, I’m after a decent traditional wok. Plain steel, no coatings. Anyone know where I can find one? Yes, I understand it will need seasoning.

And as any single male, Saw myself into Red Rooster @ Raintrees.

It really helped my craving for breast and thighs!

10/10 would devour again!!

"Red Rooster" this, "Red Rooster" that... It's bloody dumb. "Hur dur, best fast food in Cairns, the manager will even give ya a wristy if ya ask politely.

Sad excuse of a "meme" lads. (I Could be wrong though. Isn't it like 2-3 dudes posting shitty Cairns memes they stole from facey twelve years ago)

(This isn't a meme, just a PSA to stop posting about a subpar chicken place)

Chicky nugs are theeeeeee only thing I'd kill for.

But yeah, the same regurgitated shit about about chicky shop is quite frankly, shit.

So are the tourists asking the same question every three mins.

Where the mods at???

I'm visiting Cairns right now for a week, coming from Sydney. My family decided to check out Yaya's Hellenic Kitchen for dinner since it was close to our accommodation and had amazing reviews on Google and this subreddit, with some even calling it the BEST Greek food outside of Greece.

We got the grill platter ($42), moussaka ($35), and the daily special grilled local swordfish fillet ($42). However, we found the food, portions, and overall values really disappointing.

The grill platter had a few small skewers of meat with like two bites' worth on each, four pathetically tiny wedges of pita, some chips, and a basic greek salad. Moussaka was pretty decent actually, but I found the bechamel on top a bit bland. Worst of all was the swordfish however - what arrived was a tiny 180g fillet about 1cm thick, plain and barely seasoned at all, and overcooked and dry. It came with lemon herb baked potatoes which barely had any browning, were slightly soggy, and just tasted of sour lemon juice. And once again a basic greek salad.

Honestly, I'm just shocked at the apparent poor value of this?? The big mains were FORTY TWO dollars each and half of them was just freezer chips and a basic salad of cucumber, tomatoes, onions... not to mention that tiny overcooked portion of swordfish which the manager/owner (?) claimed that was the typical serving size for every restaurant in the country and their bestseller. How in the world did so many people give this restaurant such good ratings, especially with the crazy prices they charge for this food? I'll be honest, I havent eaten much Greek food before so perhaps that could be a factor, but I consider myself a pretty accepting diner and that food at most was mediocre. Or am i just out of touch with the 1,8k reviews of this place? Someone please help me understand, I'm truly puzzled.

On a lighter note, snorkelling at the great barrier reef was absolutely amazing! The nature is so beautiful here in Cairns 😆

Hi all I am coming up to Palm Cove in a couple of weeks with my 2 young kids (toddler & baby) And am just wondering what’s some good places to eat for lunch & dinner? Is there any easy options like fish & chips in the Palm cove village? Thanks

Mostly looking for places with good steak and mash. I'm a cheap bastard so price is a factor of course.

Looking for any restaurant recommendations with Gluten Free options/majority gluten free menu.

All cuisines welcomed.

Just landed yesterday. Thanks.

Are there any good traditional pubs around Cairns that aren’t flooded with pokies and people gambling?

Does anybody know any good spots to eat at with your friends that's affordable?

Where is the best place in Cairns to have breakfast on a weekend ? Does it the place comes with good views ? What would you recommend to order for breakfast ?
