Description :
The Red Ochre Grill is recognised both nationally and internationally as one of the most innovative modern Australian restaurants not only in Cairns, but Australia. Outstanding and unique menus feature over 60 different native foods offering visitors and locals the opportunity to experience creative, native Australian cuisine.

About the restaurant:
Red Ochre Grill aims to provide the visitor with the previously missing link in the Australian experience.

Over the last 9 years the Red Ochre Grill has grown to be considered a must when visiting Cairns. The Red Ochre Grill has created a whole new Australian Cuisine utilising the abundant and until recently untapped traditional native fruits, berries, game meats, fresh seafood and showcases the best of Australian Wines and Beers. The restaurant was totally refurbished in May 2004 with a Modern Contemporary Australian feel.

The menu changes seasonally and is unique in its use of Australian Native foods and Regional Produce. The experience of dining at the Red Ochre Grill is often described as a culinary tour of Australia, but regardless of the superlatives, you will find every dining occasion an adventure and every dish a conversation piece.
