Ochre Restaurant & Catering

There was something for almost everyone at Ochre Restaurant in Cairns. They offered an excellent seafood and native game food mix, so our craving for kangaroo, tuna and wallaby would be satisfied. As a starter, their Australian Antipasto with emu wonton, smoked kangaroo and smoked crocodile was perfect. It was a first-class dining experience.

We dine in many of our local restaurants and when I was asked where I would like to go for my Birthday I smiled at my hubby ......and he said " Ochre it is! ...Entree for me was just enough to enjoy all the courses AND .....Don't skip dessert its awesome.

We watched a tv programme where John Torode met the owner of Ochre Craig Squire 8 months before come to Australia on holiday. The ingredients are locally sourced and is all fresh. We ate the bush tucker meal trying wallabies, crocodile and kangaroo - we also had deserts and the meal was exceptional. The ambiance, the waiting staff the food every thing was perfect - great value for money and suggest you try this restaurant when you are in Cairns. Thank you so much.

We had the tasting plate but not matched wines. Whilst the flavours and tastes were different but the total outcome was a little disappointing. Service was attentive without being intrusive.

I came here on the Urban Adventures tour and had a tasting plate which was big enough for dinner (I'm 6'2", 85kg and play lots of sport). I can't remember everything that was on the plate but the barramundi was delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and looked amazing on the plate. Service was good, too, and the location is awesome, on the pier.
