Paper Crane by Crystalbrook

Having spent 2 weeks in Cairns and dined out for most of it, this restaurant is easily the stand out. Flavours were creative and well balanced, service was prompt and pleasant, decor and ambiance perfect. We shared a number of dishes (a family of four) and we all found something to enjoy. Thanks for a fantastic evening!

Amazing view of the ocean from the tables outside. Was given the wrong milk in my coffee so felt sick for the remainder of the day which was frustrating.

Food was excellent and service very attentive. However we were disappointed that we couldn’t sit where we wanted to , despite plenty of empty tables. Also felt a little rushed and pressured to order more food.

We booked our reservation because of the menu on their website however, upon arrival the items we had selected were no longer on the menu. We ordered the Sand Crab Bao bun which was disappointing, no garnish no avocado pure as per the menu and the sand crab filling tasted like tin chill tuna. We ordered whole barramundi we received a fillet instead and were not informed upon ordering the whole barramundi was no longer available. We were very disappointed and refused to eat the main courses, The Restsurant supervisor was very apologetic and did not charge us for the meal. We left and had dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant near the night market which we enjoyed. Very disappointing evening

The wait staff were polite and tentative. Entrees were tasty . Extremely disappointed in the mains though. Drinks took forever to arrive. Won’t be back for long awhile.
