Fodor's Expert Review Ochre Restaurant

Local seafood and native ingredients take top billing at this upscale yet relaxed Cairns institution that specializes in bush dining. Try the popular Australian antipasto platter: 'roo terrine, emu carpaccio, and smoked crocodile, with fine Antipodean wines to match. Most dishes incorporate native foods and seasonal ingredients: sample wild-caught baby barramundi or order a vegetarian, Australian game, or seafood platter to share. The signature dessert, wattle-seed pavlova with Davidson plum sorbet and macadamia biscotti, makes a fine finish.
