We live in Cairns and chose Tamarind for my birthday dinner. It was only myself, husband and daughter. We have dined here before and it was excellent, hence the reason we returned. We were not disappointed. My husband had an entree of Butternut Squash, Carrot & Saffron Soup, while my daughter and I shared the Confit of Quail (which we... More

I am gluten intolerant and allergic to shellfish.

I've been coming to the Tamarind for years and make a point of dining here every time I'm in Cairns. It's a little expensive (most mains are $42) but the food is sensational.
