Perrotta's at the Gallery

A beautiful evening with our amazing host daughter & her lovely parents. We ordered bruschetta with whipped ricotta, sweet potato chips, burrata, fish of the day, fried seafood plate, dumplings & the special gnocchi with vodka & smoked salmon sauce which was absolutely delightful! The customer service was amazing, we sat outdoors & enjoyed each other's company. Thank you to the cooks & staff at Perrotta's!

We were there in. Very hot day, the veranda of the cafe is very open and relaxing with roof fans bringing very pleasant breezes that make you actually feeling much cooler. The meals we got are excellent. I ordered papaya salad and berry smoothie; my husband got the grilled barramundi with salad we’re TOP quality. I have to say their food and drink are really no doubt on the top of my experiences with Cafe and restaurants. Very happy! The staff are very nice nd friendly as well.

This was our first time eating here. The restaurant has a lovely outdooor seating area. We were greeted and seated by Lulu our waitress. She was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the menu. She assisted us in ordering our delicious food and wine. Darren the chef prepared our meals as requested, which was different from the menu preparation. We enjoyed our evening so much that we canceled a previously made reservation for a different restaurant and went back the next night, our last night in Cairns. Don't waste your time searching the internet for an Italian restaurant. Eat here and you won't be disappointed.

Nice spot for dinner. We had $32 pasta and drink deal which was lovely, both sauces had lots of flavour and pasta was cooked well. Also had the entree calamari which was tasty. Service was friendly.

Great location and for an outdoor venue they do it well, even in the rain they have big blinds that can come down and it is very ambient right next door to the gallery. Staff is always great, and you must save room for the desserts 🍮 The cocktails were really great. I can highly recommend the martini. 🍸

Nice but expected a little better. The menu could do with a little more detail and did not match the online menu. Our main was a bigger version of the entree eccentrically and didn’t realise it was all going to be battered and fried. Service was very good, food was also good just like ff the mark with value for money. Parking was easy.

We had a great dinner here. We ordered a pizza and a pasta, while our son had the kids’ fish and chips. All of us were quite happy with our meals – the flavours were good and the serving sizes generous. Service was quick and the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant. The only downside was that the tables and chairs felt quite old and could definitely use a refresh to lift the atmosphere. Despite that, we still left happy and would consider returning.

I love their breakfast. It’s the best in town for sure. If not Australia fresh ingredients. Great flavours good service. I highly recommend the fish and chips are the best ever and the second best is the tacos with fresh white The better is not thick. It’s just perfect..

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.
