What an amazing place! Fantastic food, great prices, good array of choices on the menu. Oh almost forgot, the staff were over and above! Well done guys! If your looking at eating here, I strongly recommend that you come down, they won’t disappoint!
Highly recommend having lunch here. Great value, decent size meals and amazing service! I had the Grilled Atlantic Salmon it was delicious. Crispy skin to die for and a great garden salad with juice cherry tomatoes!
Really enjoyed The Backyard. I was a bit hesitant after reading some of the reviews but I decided to give it a go myself. I booked with not much notice and they were more than happy to fit me in. Only a 5 minute walk from my hotel and it's in a really central spot. They were quite busy and I now know why. Service was great - my waiter was excellent and a great asset to the Business. Drinks were great - Lemon Drop Meringue can not be beaten! Delicious! Started off with sourdough & garlic butter - was nice and a big serving but the garlic flavour was not very evident. For my Main I chose Chicken Breast with Potato Gnocchi, Pumpkin and Pine Nuts... It was just excellent, could not fault a thing - yum! And then I got convinced into dessert but once again... no regrets! They were donuts with cinnamon sugar and two dipping sauces. One was lemon and one was a sort of cream. Overall had a great night and will definitely visit again next time I am in Cairns. Loved it and I highly recommend!
Really delicious dinner! And good services!
We ordered tuna watermelon and king fish as entree. Wagyu rump and surf and turf for main.
The wagyu rump is really yum! Medium rare is just medium rare. It was melting in my mouth! Love it
Since I am not a meat lover but seafood lover. This wagyu rump is really make me satisfied
beautiful food. beautiful company. beautiful times. COVID-19 vaccination certificates required for entry and the staff were diligent at checking. it made us feel safe during these times. i was very impressed and it made me feel like i could relax and be in the moment with my date. very grateful for the dining experience. had breakfast here too the morning after, it was a lovely time, relaxed atmosphere and great selection of hot and fresh food. the pastries! yum! if you're staying at shang-ri la, don't bother going anywhere else, you're sorted food-wise a skip from your room.
We took some interstate friends to The Backyard Cairns last night. The service from start to finish was fabulous. The staff quick and attentive. I had glorious home made Gnoochi with soft pumpkin pieces and pine nuts in a delicious creamy pumpkin sauce. I think it is the best gnocchi I have eaten in Cairns . My hubby had the spicy prawns cant remember what it was called. Absolutely delicious and our friends had fresh Barramundi on a salsa base. Accompanied by white wines- perfect and a great view out over the harbour. We will be back.
Friday 10/6/22 - after a disappointing attempt to have dinner at another restaurant (we left after trying to order for a long time), we wandered into The Backyard, where we were greeted by a very friendly and efficient staff. We didn't have a reservation, but they quickly made room for us.
Although the place was pretty full, they managed to attend to everyone in a timely manner and the food they served was excellent!
Special mention goes to the delicious Garlic Arancini and the Ahi Tuna Watermelon (pictured).
We will definitely return!
