Coral Hedge Brasserie - Cairns

Wonderful, leisurely dinner off the a la carte menu with a fantastic Margaret River Chardonnay. Very busy, but the service was great.

We stayed at the Rydges and had breakfast daily (which was pretty good) and one buffet dinner. the dinner was a little disappointing, with some quite average food but a few options. i don't think it's good value unless you like oysters.

Breakfast is decent, but pricey for what you get. Would love to see a bigger variety of options available. The didn't even have mushrooms or scrambled eggs available last time we went. Freshly made omelettes were good, though.

Fire and ice Seafood night is nice enough you can eat as much as you like and have calamari, prawns, Reef fish and steak(ettes) cooked for you. There's no other seafood apart from prawns, oysters, mussels, Reef fish and smoked salmon, though. There are a couple of curries and salad things. Service is pretty good though.

The buffet at this restaurant is truly incredible. Customers can choose fresh seafood and meat to be cooked right in front of them to their liking. The chefs do a wonderful job of handling the crowd and meeting their expectations. They suggest adding garlic and recommend trying the steak with a bit of extra spice. There are also plenty of drink options available. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.
