Maria Gourmet - Portuguese Cuisine

Maria Gourmet sits on Therwine Street in Kuranda, the lovely rainforest village above Cairns in tropical north Queensland. A Portuguese restaurant, it's earned a flawless reputation for its authentic, flavour-packed Portuguese cooking — the kind of warm, welcoming spot that brings genuine, distinctive Portuguese flavours to the charming village.

The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Portuguese food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, welcoming setting in the lovely Kuranda village, ideal for a casual lunch, a special meal or a distinctive feed while exploring the rainforest village. Authentic Portuguese cooking offers a genuine point of difference, and the flawless feedback speaks to a kitchen doing things beautifully.

A perfect 5.0 rating across more than 150 reviews is genuinely uncommon and a strong sign of excellent food and a great experience. Menus, opening hours and pricing vary, and a highly rated restaurant in a popular tourist village can get busy, so it's well worth checking current details and getting in touch directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, visiting at a busy time, or making it part of a Kuranda day trip.
