There are some fabulous places to go for a drink or dine at The Pier but the shopping area is somewhat desolate these days. More

Everything from pub meals to fine dining. We particularly enjoyed the ribs at the BBQ restaraunt and the Italian. All have magnificent views over the marina. More

The Pier is located about 300 metres from the lagoon on the Esplanade and is a great place to escape the heat and humidity. There are several restaurants in the complex, most with outstanding water views. The restaurants themselves can be a little overpriced but all in all its OK. There are also a range of travel and tourist style... More

Perfect place to grab a beer or two and some pizza after a day of scuba diving. Especially great on Fri, Sat, and Sun with happy hour from 5-7 that features $5 pizzas and 2 for 1 beer. The pizza is really good, try the one with jalapenos for a nice kick. Best pizza of the three places we had... More

Located under the Shangri La Hotel on the north west corner overlooking Cairns Harbour. Very popular, especially with back-packers, as they provide good selection of meals for $12.50, Coronas for $3.50 all day and a happy hour for other drinks between 5pm and 7pm every day. Sit inside or along the long wide balcony. More

We had lunch here on our recent trip to Cairns. The food seemed really cheap (especially compared to the price of meals in Perth). While we were waiting we spied on others food, it the serves seemed to be a nice size. We were dissapointed when we picked our meals up- the size is an illusion, as lots of it... More

High standard pub food, the Pier is located near the Cairns esplanade at the marina. Lovely setting with indoor and outdoor dining areas. Meals were very cheap and were good quality. They have $12 meal specials everyday, I ordered the chilli prawn linguine that had the tastiest prawns. This meal deal includes a drink - wine/beer/juice/softdrink. They also have $3.50... More
