Dundees on the Waterfront

November 17, 2025

We had the best time at Dundees! 🎉 Me and my extended family were here from Brisbane and Melbourne to celebrate a 50th and we couldn’t have picked a better venue! 😄 The food was delicious, and came out pretty quickly for eleven orders! Special shout-out to our server, Manuel, who was super great and really brought the vibe 😊❤️ It was very bustling and busy, but that didn’t affect our experience at all - more fun and liveliness to add to the atmosphere! 😋 Overall, it was exceptional food, exceptional service, and an exceptional atmosphere; this review of five stars is only accurate if you multiply it by five! 🤩 Great job Dundees!

Beautiful Italian restaurant in wharf lane in the Cairns city centre. I much enjoyed lunch as chilling out. I went back there 7 years after my first trip. It was big pleasure Dundee is still there. Food is really amazing especially dessert.

Oh my goodness. What an incredible night of food and wine! Magic location, lucky enough to be right on the boardwalk, wine was so good and the food…. OMG! Had a platter entree which was delicious and our mains were unreal. Eye fillet was cooked to perfection and the pasta was Bellissimo! I was so full but had to sneak in a banana fritter with ice cream for desert to finish the night. Yum! The service from the girls was amazing and we even got a friendly visit from the owners Tina and James. Felt right at home and will certainly be back for more!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are traveling to Cairns Australia, you must stop by Dundee's restaurant. It's located in a harbor with a great water view. We watched ships passing through. The staff are very efficient and friendly. The food was fantastic! I was traveling with my husband, daughter and son-in-law and we all ordered different and delicious meals. The drinks were spot on for flavor and a great way to start dinner. This meal was by far, the best meal that we had while traveling around Australia. We all loved the country.

We were lucky to get a table at Dundees on the Waterfront as it was fully booked, but the lovely lady at the front managed to squeeze us in at a small table for two — and we were so grateful she did! We ordered the seafood platter, which was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. To finish, we shared a pavlova that was light, sweet, and the perfect end to a great meal. The restaurant was very busy, so I’d definitely recommend booking ahead — but it’s well worth it for the food, service and atmosphere. Can't wait to come back to Cairns and visit again with a lovely view table this time!
