Flynn's Italian by Crystalbrook

Flynn's Italian sits within the Crystalbrook Flynn hotel on the Cairns Esplanade, the palm-lined waterfront at the heart of the tropical north. A stylish Italian restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality cooking and lovely setting — the kind of polished yet relaxed venue that suits a special meal or a memorable night out in central Cairns.

The appeal is that combination of accomplished Italian fare, a great drinks offering and a chic, waterfront-precinct location, ideal for a relaxed dinner or a special occasion. With the Esplanade, the lagoon and the city's attractions all close by, it slots naturally into a stylish evening in Cairns.

With a 4.7 rating from nearly 1,000 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular hotel restaurant fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or visiting Cairns in peak season.
