Amazing service!!!
We celebrated my brother's 26th birthday at Dundee's this evening, and I just wanted to express how impressed we were with the entire experience.
As restaurant managers ourselves, overseeing venues in Perth and Melbourne, we understand how much work goes into delivering exceptional hospitality. It's not often that we're truly blown away, but Dundee's exceeded every expectation.
The food was absolutely delicious, but what really made the evening unforgettable was the service. Every member of the team contributed to such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and genuinely made our night special.
A special mention goes to Nageesa, who looked after our table. She was outstanding from start to finish—attentive without being intrusive, regularly checking on our meals, ensuring we had everything we needed, and making us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail are a real credit to your team.
It's clear that Dundee's has built a culture where great hospitality comes naturally, and that is something truly worth recognising. The quality of your staff elevates the entire dining experience.
We're so glad we chose to end our trip with dinner at Dundee's—it was the perfect way to finish our holiday and truly the cherry on top. Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable evening. We will absolutely be back, and we'll be recommending Dundee's to everyone we know.
Great Dinner
BUCKET OF BUGS AND PRAWNS Chilled local bug tails and prawns served on ice with grilled ciabatta,mixed leaf salad and Mary Rose sauce.
Last lunch in FNQ. Their mission: 'To maintain a relaxed, positive dining experience with products and professional service that consistently exceed customer expectations.' Done! Fresh seafood washed down with a WA Snake & Herring White Wine - then a hot rock steak cooked by an expert. Leave the crocodile, emu,kangaroo etc to the overseas tourists - Aussies just like watching them order & eat that stuff. Copter to the airport my good man - home awaits!
Recommended to me by a friend who dragged me to this restaurant saying the food is amazing. And yes - the most amazing seafood chowder we have tasted so far! Incredibly fresh seafood spaghettini. All the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating to our needs including re-arranging our seating requirements throughout the night. Dundees would definitely be value for compared to the pricing of other Cairns restaurant. I am definitely going back next time I am in Cairns!
Fantastic setting on the waterfront, good fresh seafood and constantly pleasing. one of our regular spots for lunch as well as dinner.
We have the great pleasure to work next door to this fantastic waterfront restaurant. We enjoy the outstanding selection of mouthwatering seafood dishes and the yummy desserts. The service is always 5 star and the best way to start the day is with a fresh fruit platter and crispy bacon, toast and maple syrup. We refer a lot of our international customers to Dundees and we know they share our enthusisiam too! Thanks very much.

I take business clients to Dundees quite a bit. Great coffee, food, friendly staff and AMAZING VIEWS. Perfect setting to get away from the office and think big. I'm a fan of the crocodile salad and the seafood dishes.
Had breakfast here on Wednesday and managed to conduct a business meeting while soaking up an incredible view of the waterfront and mountains and filling up on fluffy fresh pancakes with lashings of maple syrup, creamy whipped butter and fresh strawberries. My colleagues had eggs benedict and toast that they said was delicious. We all enjoyed hot fresh coffee and cold fruit juices also. The service was friendly and attentive without being invasive. Lovely way to start the morning. I'll be back!
I have had the pleasure to eat and taste the atmosphere at Dundee's restaurant. The location is just magnificent at the Harbour lights. The service is always friendly, quick and in for a laugh. The food of Dundee's is delicious and I really recommend anyone who is wanting to have a beautiful evening out in Cairns. I might see you there!
