Prawn Star

Pier Point Road | Marlin Marina, E31 Berth, Cairns City QLD 4870

 

Wow, what a not so hidden gem on the Cairns Marina. 

Don't expect a broad menu. Don't expect anything other than delicious seafood at great prices. 

800g of fresh cooked Tiger Prawns for $45 and 200g of delicious sashimi Salmon for $30. 

The only let down was a lack of chopsticks, but the bargain basement drinks made up for it. 

The menu is limited and the choice of sides is basically non existent. 

But as a place to pigout on great seafood there is not really a finer place.

The Backyard

 

Pier Point Rd, Cairns City QLD 4871

Located just in the lobby of the Shangri-La Cairns, The Backyard is a cost little hotel restaurant with great staff.

On an evening after too many club drinks, the decision was made to stay for dinner.

The $70 seafood basket was a well balanced decision with a great mix of Mackerel, Oysters, Prawns and some fried calamari & chips.

Can't fault, only recommend.
