There is more to life than a pinch of salt at Piato Mediterranean Cuisine on The Pier in Cairns. Soak up waterfront views in style at this casual Med restaurant, as gentle breezes and salt air waft from the marina to the alfresco area, or dine indoors at pale wood tables in a light and airy ambience, ideal for savouring flavoursome fare. Start with seared scallops in the shell, crispy pork belly, carrot purée, fennel and lemon butter and dried olive, or steamed black mussels, white wine, chilli and confit garlic, chorizo and tomato salsa; before slow-cooked beef cheeks, minted peas, carrot and rosemary purée and fried Parmesan polenta. Be enticed by pasta plates of pan-fried gnocchi, grilled vegetables, portobello mushroom, cherry tomato and green olives in creamy garlic white wine sauce.
