Cairns Foodie Guide: Must-Try Eats That Will Blow Your Mind! š“š½ļø
š Little Sitter - Waterfront Rib Heaven If there's one place you MUST visit in Cairns, this is it! š¤© I ate here TWICE during my trip because every single dish was perfection. Their sticky, fall-off-the-bone ribs are absolutely legendary - smoked for hours until they're melt-in-your-mouth tender šš„. The best part? Despite being right on the beachfront šļø, prices are incredibly reasonable - about $50 per person will leave you happily stuffed! Pro tip: Arrive early for sunset views over dinner š . š Viet Pho - Noodle Game Stronger Than Sydney! As a pho lover who's tried countless bowls across Australia, I can confidently say Cairns' version made me emotional š. After sampling two top spots, Viet Pho (recommended by local guides) was the clear winner! Their rich, aromatic broth simmered for 12+ hours ššØ, with silky rice noodles and ultra-fresh herbs will ruin all other pho for you. It's conveniently located just steps from the Night Market š® - perfect for pre-shopping fuel! š La Pizza - Budget-Friendly Italian Perfection Who knew Cairns would serve some of Australia's most authentic thin-crust pizza? šš®š¹ Their massive 20-inch pies cost barely $20 - the "large" could easily feed a family of four! š¤Æ I opted for the medium (still enormous) with perfectly charred crust and premium toppings. The real magic? Dining with panoramic views of the pool and Ferris wheel š” - making every bite feel like a vacation within your vacation! Why These Spots Stand Out: 1ļøā£ Local-approved - Each comes highly recommended by residents, not just tourists šØš©š§š¦ 2ļøā£ Value champions - Huge portions without huge price tags š° 3ļøā£ Iconic settings - Oceanfront, night market adjacent, and amusement park views ššŖ Pro Tips for Foodies: ā¢ At Little Sitter, ask for extra napkins - things get deliciously messy! š¤² ā¢ Viet Pho's lunch special (11-2pm) includes fresh spring rolls .š„¬ ā¢ La Pizza's "Create Your Own" lets you mix gourmet toppings .š« #Australia #Cairns#CairnsEats #FoodieParadise #VacationCaloriesDontCount
