Perrotta's at the Gallery

Great location outside covered terrace to watch the world go by Friendly efficient service Food - a good test for a chef / kitchen is a Caesar salad Often salads are treated lazily, and a common trend is to remove the anchovies, have non-crunchy, old croutons and substitute for romaine lettuce This caesar was excellent and it is now my preference in Cairns Well done 👍🏻

Outdoor seating next to the gallery, ordered the Nourish Me Bowl, this was $19 Was refreshing and filling Seats were a bit sharp/rough Staff were lovely 💙

We had a beautiful dinner here, the seafood was delicious and everything well presented, the drink was crisp and looked amazing and the desert was delightful. The plate sizes are perfect it was a meal that filled you up. Fregola marinara Fish and chips Thirsty Senorita Tiramisu

We used the First Table website to book. We had only been to Perottas for Breakfast prior to this. The food was really nice. It was maybe a little expensive for the portion size. We had an amazing waiter who was Italian and full of energy which was nice. He also made good recommendations on the food. We will defintely come back.

We recently visited Perrotta's At The Gallery for breakfast, and unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The quality of the food was subpar, and the tables in the restaurant were rusty. This led to both my husband and son, who were wearing white shorts, getting rust stains that were difficult to remove after we got home. We ordered fresh juice and a smoothie. While the fresh juices were good, the smoothie was warm, even after adding ice. It was undrinkable, and we noticed that other tables had untouched smoothies as well. Overall, our breakfast was far from enjoyable. After being in Cairns for over ten years, this was the worst breakfast we've ever had at a restaurant. We hope the restaurant takes these points into consideration to improve their service and quality.

Peaceful, shady spot, quick, quiet service and satisfyingly large portion of yummy eggplant lasagne, resting in rich tomato sauce and topped with fresh rocket and Parmesan. (Photo shows less than a quarter of serve). I was served quickly and calmly. Lovely feel on a large deck to the side of Cairns Art Gallery. Absolutely worth a visit, cheered up my work day!

After a walk through town stopped by for some afternoon tea. Warm friendly atmosphere and great outdoor dining area with quiet music in the background. Had a coffee with a pistacchio canoli and some mini jam donuts. Reasonably priced and ones of the best smooth coffees I’ve had in Cairns.

Very nice cafe on Abbott St in Cairns. It's been there for a long time so they must be doing something right. And those somethings are food, which was quite good for everyone, and the location, which is next to the art gallery and just one block away from The Esplanade. I normally go to places with 2 friends making 3 people in the group. Today my friends had a relative join so we had 4. Given someone normally finds something that's not right there was a good chance that the experience would be a bust with 4 of us sharing the experience. But it wasn't. Everyone was happy. That's quite rare for us so Perrotta's did well to get that feedback. The photos show the food but there's special mention of the carbonara which had the review of the best, most authentic carbonara my friend has had in several years. The hot chocolate was good with barista art that was a shame to destroy. The only negative is the tables are small. Perfectly Ok for 4 coffees but it was a quite crowded with 4 meals on it.

Ordered the Fish n Chips since I haven't had one since arriving in Australia. Though the presentation is impressive, the taste was ok. The sauce that came with it made up for the lack of seasoning on the fish. Fries tasted great. Nothing extraordinary with the ice coffee. It's an outdoor dining, susceptible to gasoline smell from car exhaust. Would have returned to try the Barramundi but my first experience wasn't so appealing.

Nice spacious, outdoor seating. We had two vegetarian's in our party of three. The server was helpful. I had the spaghetti with prawns, and the prawns were cooked perfectly, but the spaghetti noodles themselves weren't outstanding. The grapes were a little bit of a surprise, but it seems to be something they do here. My friend and I were at a Thai place the night before, and they also included grapes in the ingredients for the entrée. They did have the right level of garlic. The vegetarian choices were a little uneven. The zucchini chips didn't seem to have been cooked in hot enough oil and were oily. The broccolini were cooked to too much of a char. The gnudi was more successful. The watermelon coolers were pretty good, and the Shiraz had good tannins.

This hipster hangout features a huge outdoor space overlooking the street at the corner of Shields and Abbott Streets. We popped in for breakfast around 8 on a Monday and virtual had the place to ourselves. They feature smoothies and juices and a good assortment of breakfast items with some higher end twists. One in our group had the eggs Benedict, another two eggs over easy with toast, another poached eggs and toast and I had the French toast with stone fruits. Food was high quality and well prepared and not overly huge portions. We also tried some of the juices (Orange) and mint/watermelon (very refreshing). My son enjoyed the mango (sunrise) smoothie. Like everywhere we've eaten in Cairns, it's a bit pricey. Around $88 AUS for the four of us. By the way, you pay at the counter when you are finished and seat yourself when you arrive for breakfast.

Had the best salad here...arugula, pomegranate seeds, popcorn, sweet potatoes, and calamari. It Was delicious!!! Very nice patio and a great lunch spot after visiting the Art Gallery. Service was good and the food was great quality!

Always a pleasure, I've never had a bad meal or experience. Fast and efficient service. Great coffee, amazing smoothies and juice. Can highly recommend the fresh fruit and yoghurt as well as the home made granola and French toast. A definite must when in the city Centre!

Terrible, fried, very unsavory and pricey food. Chicken popcorn- terrible almost uneatable. Cauliflower- too fried, an ok "dressing". Eggplant- tasted like nothing, didn't even eat it. Sweet potatoe fries- just ok. Tuna ceviche- just ok. The fish tacos were probably the only saveable dish and it was regular. There are so many better options in Cairns. Not recommended.

An art gallery with an outdoor cafe, it's a fantastic idea. We were walking around one morning trying to decide where to have breakfast and saw this little place. Now do get me wrong it looked a bit upscale which normally for breakfast isn't my style since I most likely just rolled out of bed, have a little bed head pony tail, but a pretty decent second day eyeliner smokey eye but this place had a patio and if you don't know by now I am a sucker for patios. He got eggs of course and toast and I got amazing poached eggs on a jalapeño cornbread with pulled pork and cheese. I have not had a more delicious filing breakfast. The only thing holding them back was charging $7 for an orange juice that they put ice in and frothed.... So little orange juice for the price...

We had lunch here - 3 adults and a child. Everyone has tasty food, they readily accommodated vegan meal request with great suggestions and service. Friendly staff, mellow ambiance. I would definitely recommend Perrotta's.

Nice restaurant, great service and location. Good for a couple of drinks or for a full meal. Pizza is great and wine comes at the right temperature. Recommended!

Breakfast was good, but the service was poor & slow. Our waitress didn't like non-locals. She was grouchy to us but clearly nicer to the Australian family next to us. Our food came after a long wait and not complete, then we got over charged. I wanted to Iike this place but can't because the service made me feel unwelcomed. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

We had dinner and breakfast here. Both outstanding. Seriously good food and wonderful friendly staff. We would go back again for sure. So nice to have a breakfast menu that isn't just boring bacon and eggs. Beautiful food.

Starter bowled us over with eggplant chips seasoned with Moroccan spices & roasted sesame to dip in cumin yogurt. Had superb dinner of grilled octopus salad with both red watermelon and pickled white rind, avocado & paper thin raddish dressed with delightful vinaigrette flavored with mint and parsley. Hubby had spicy meatballs with roasted polpette(salami meat). Son had Mary Had s Little Lamb with roasted pumpkin, aspace, pickled carrots, cucumbers, siracha, cumin yogurt sandwich. Francis fantastic server. May be one of the best restaurants in Cairns.

We stopped here to grab a bite before heading out of Cairns and I dream about their poached eggs all the way from California. We sat outside and are, people watched and drank coffee. It was wonderful!

My husband and I came here for breakfast and it was exquisite. Love the cute atmosphere and the pear french toast was on point. My husband also thoroughly enjoyed his egg dish. We also got a fresh muffin that was scrumptious - we liked everything we got!

We loved the salmon eggs Benedict, the sausage breakfast was awesome too.

We are local Cairns people and we love Perrottas. The food is consistently good yet still adventurous enough to keep us coming back. We had Japanese guests tonight and all was delicious.
