Charlie's

After visiting Cairns on a regular basis over the years this was the first time I was able to obtain a booking.
What a dissapointment poor range of seafood and nothing else at the smorgasborg you could not get at a cheap Chinese Restaurant for $9.95
Not allowed to run up a bar tab COD everytime very unprofessional
As the cad driver said on collecting us from this over rated venue once only seems enough for any customerhe has colleted and himself as well

I would never vist Cairns without including one (or more!) visits to the legendary Charlies. If you love seafood then you will love Charlies :P

We go to cairns quiet often and never seemed to get the time to go to charlies but last time we were in cairns just before christmas we got to go and we were very surprised and pleased we made the time to go every thing was first class and we will be making time to go on our next visit to cairns

My wife and I first visited Charlies about 7 years ago. The food and service was absolutely fantastic and we would love to go again someday. I recommended Charlies to some friends who were in Cairns 2 years ago and they were equally impressed.

I met my wife overseas and decided to take our honeymoon in cairns about seven years ago. on our first night there we we busy trying to decide where to go for dinner, this would be an important choice, as this desicion can make or break the mood of a holiday. we were staying at a hotel whose staff reccommended charlies seafood. my wife, being a fussy eater, and myself a restaurant owner were reluctant to go as most all you can eat restaurants are not places you visit unless times are tough!. we bit the bullet and arrived there to be surprised with the quality and choice that has made charlies a household name. the food was not only plentyfull but of any standard a top restaurant would be proud of. without the heafty price tag. we ate here everynight for a week and i still tell everyone about how good the place was. i am visiting this year with my kids, so please reserve a table for the bielski's from the 29th of april to the 6th of may, see you soon, keep up the good work

I first visited Charlies in 1993, when I visited Cairns with an Australian uncle of mine as part of my 'round the world trip. Next visit 2000, accompanied by my wife, who I'd bored rigid talking about the place. Next visit, this December (all being well) as we kick off yet another holiday in Aussie. I travel 11,000 miles to dine at Charlies - the best recommendation of all, I reckon. Great food, great people, great location, great memories.

We visited Cairns a couple of years ago and got introduced to Charlies. I myself, am not a seafood lover, but my partner is. He and my kids feel in love with the place. So much so that I recently flew him from Brisbane to Cairns just to have dinner there (no, we are not rich, I saved a very long time for it!!). Food excellent, Atmosphere fabulous, waitpersons obliging and polite, price......unbeatable. Highly reccomend.

By far the best value for money seafood restaurant ı have seen any where ın my travels. Invıted famıely from ınterstate and ate lıke gods.Hıghly reconmend ıt.

Best ever value for money. We've been going to Charlie's for 15 years now - ever since we first fell in love with Cairns. Courteous and friendly service from all staff in a relaxed, tranquil setting, especially when dining by the pool - a great place to relax and unwind.

I am a very big fan of Cairns, and fell in love with the place on very first visit to Cairns.
One of the highlights of my experience in Cairns was the dining @ Charlies. Very well prepared food, excellent staff and fresh scrumptious seafood, prepared to a quality I have never experienced before.
I look forward to my next trip to cairns.

Wow, put it this way, I stuffed my self. Food was great, ver good value, I suppose in england we seldom see such variety at such a price, a treat to dine there and a great way to remember Cairns.
