Sirocco - Cairns

As we were staying at the Holiday Inn we had dinner at Sirocco's with others that we were there with. The staff at this restaurant certainly made our evening an enjoyable experience. They were just so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble...as we had other people join us when they just arrived in cairns and checked in and the staff took their orders quickly to try and get their meals out at the same time as ours. The food was great with a choose of all meats and seafood. The portion size was really good for all meals, so much so that we didn't think we could fit dessert but ended up having dessert which was great also. Would recommend Sirocco to anyone visiting Cairns

Sirocco is one street back and a block away from the esplanade where the majority of restaurants are. It is also located inside the Holiday inn Hotel, which from the outside, doesn't look much but from the inside is fantastic! We usually try a...Cairns restaurant once a week/fortnight, but lately we've been hard pressed to find a good meal or restaurant we have enjoyed immensely. That was until we went to Sirocco. They were unusually very busy for a Thursday night but the service was still great! Extremely friendly staff (unseen since the 90's that were extremely attentive and apologetic (where there was no need as we arrived at 7pm had entree, main dessert etc and were done by 8.30! My husband surprisingly ordered eggplant fritters for entree (and he is a steak and veg man and they were delicious. Barramundi and lamb cous cous for dinner and both meals were substantial and divine. For dessert we had the espresso chocolate fondant and I love my dessert not to mention chocolate dessert yet this was the least favorite of my meals but still tasty!! I can highly recommend this restaurant and don't be put off by its location or look from the outside. Don't bother with the extremely overpriced restaurants on the esplanade :

I would not recommend returning to this restaurant. I'm not sure what they did to the barramundi, but it was the worst I can remember.

The waiter and service at this restaurant were excellent. The prices were reasonable. I ordered a prawn risotto, but when it arrived it was not very hot, especially for the prawns. They took it back and brought it back hot. My husband had the barramundi and said it was enjoyable. After our main meal, the waiter informed us that the chef was offering a free dessert because of the issue with the main course. I thought that was a nice gesture. Overall, we enjoyed everything.

My fiancée and I sung at sirocco without booking and the dame was very beautiful. we waited in the bar while she has the table ready for us. the barman was very friendly and suggested a wein that corresponds to my taste. it was delicious. the taxi driver of frog rock mudgee! then it comes to eat, I can't tell them how beautiful our meals were. so tasteful. I had the calamari for a deer and lamb back beat as main, the lamb was perfectly cooked and so tender. the vegies were delish and the sose that went with her sooo yumm. adam had the prawn that I also got to try, and I usually don't like so much, but they had a nice taste on them and he had the chicken pasta dish, a lot of taste and tender bun. it is hard to find a restaurant with excellent, friendly service and where the food is so worth the price u pay. I would highly recommend this place and I will return! many thanks for a wonderful experience. the world of
