Salt House

Salt House sits at Marina Point on Pier Point Road in Cairns City, on the waterfront in the tropical-north Queensland hub. A much-loved restaurant and bar, it makes the most of its prime position — combining quality food and a great drinks offering with a stylish, characterful setting and gorgeous views over the marina and water, the kind of crowd-pleasing spot that's become a genuine Cairns favourite.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks-and-cocktail offering and a fantastic waterfront marina location, ideal for a relaxed meal, a special dinner, drinks with a view or a sociable day or night out. The gorgeous marina-front setting and a quality food-and-drinks offering make it a real draw, and Salt House has clearly won over an enormous, loyal following of locals and visitors.

With a 4.3 rating from more than 5,500 reviews, it's clearly a hugely popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table by the water — though for a meal, drinks and lovely marina views, it's often just a matter of heading to Salt House in Cairns.
