Ochre Restaurant and Catering

Ochre Restaurant sits on the Harbour Lights Boardwalk on Marlin Parade, on the Cairns waterfront. A long-celebrated and iconic restaurant, it's renowned for its pioneering use of native Australian ingredients — bush foods, local seafood and produce given a contemporary treatment — making it a genuine destination for a distinctive, memorable meal in the tropical north.

The appeal is that combination of inventive, native-ingredient cooking, an excellent wine list and a lovely waterfront setting overlooking the marina, ideal for a special dinner, a celebration or a meal that genuinely showcases the flavours of the region. Its long-standing reputation for championing Australian native cuisine makes it a standout.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,700 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a sought-after, iconic restaurant books out, so it's well worth checking current details and reserving a table directly before you go — particularly for a special occasion, a group, or if you're keen to experience its renowned native-ingredient cooking on the Cairns waterfront.
