Fodor's Expert Review Hanuman Cairns
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
A flavorful addition to Cairns's dining scene, this restaurant in the Hilton Cairns does wonders with tropical produce and South-East Asian flavors. Moody violet lighting, Asian artifacts, and floor-to-ceiling windows fronting Trinity Inlet set the stage for vibrant tasting plates, and aromatic curries and wok-fried dishes. Order the entrée tasting plate for two (A$34) for a whistle-stop tour of Thai, Tamil, and Nonya cuisines. Dishes are well priced, but you'll probably want to order several.
The lunchtime bento box special for A$15 makes a terrific picnic.
