🇦🇺 Cairns | City Walk + Food Guide 🍽️

🏨 Hotel Hilton DoubleTree Reliable & clean with mountain/city views (partial ocean glimpses). Prime location: 10-min walk to marina & night markets. 🚕 15-min taxi from airport. ⚠️ Pool under renovation (use neighboring Hilton’s pool instead). 🌊 Esplanade Lagoon Perfect for sunset strolls post-flight. Free public pool with ocean views! 🛍️ Cairns Central (Skip It!) Generic mall with mediocre food (tried ramen & pho – meh). 20-min walk from hotels → Not worth it. 🍜 Food Recs 1️⃣ IMM THAI CAFE Must-try: Tom Yum soup, fried oysters, Thai milk tea! 2️⃣ Crepe Stand (Night market entrance) Strawberry & cream – sweet but not cloying (shareable!). 3️⃣ Villa Romana Tropical pizza = decent (better eaten beachside!). Hidden Gems : 4️⃣ Skewers Lower Best late-night skewers >> Melbourne’s options! 5️⃣ Noodle Party (Night market) Hearty beef noodles + mango sugarcane juice (refreshing!). 6️⃣ Wok Chinese Buffet Greasy but filling (skip if health-conscious). 🍍 Rusty’s Market (Fri-Sun Only!) Missed it? So did we 😢 – tropical fruit paradise (check dates!). #CairnsEats #AustraliaTravel #FoodieFinds #HiltonStay #ThaiFoodLover 🌴🍹
