OCHRE RESTAURANT
Situated on the water's edge and close to the marina, this restaurant stands out for its local gastronomy with original flavors. It offers dishes based on crocodile, kangaroo, shellfish and fish flavored with Australian spices. The dishes are hearty and the cuisine high quality. You'll have a great time in a sublime setting, inviting you to escape into the bush with the aromas of this delicate cuisine. We recommend their 3-course menu at AU$ 85 for gourmets in the evening. The lunchtime menus (with drinks) are also excellent value for money!

The kangaroo was cooked to perfection, the steaks were delicious and the Pacific Bugs were absolutely yummy!
Service is so friendly and the location is just the cherry on top!

You better skip this resto and go somewhere else when being in Cairns
Food was amazing, well presented, some of my scallops were cold when they hit the table, but still edible.
So the idea of this place is to showcase native Australian bush ingredients in modern, gourmet cuisine by using such ingredients to create similar flavour profiles to more mainstream ingredients e.g. Betel leaf, Davidson Plum, Bush Tomatoes etc. It's an awesome concept that works.
Special mention to Gin our server/FOH who was obviously super passionate about food and proud to present the dishes to us, knowing they're fantastic.
Couldn't fault it. Highly recommend.
