About SAILS Cairns
Right on the edge of Trinity Inlet along the Cairns Esplanade, SAILS Bar and Restaurant is where the ancient culinary marriage of Peruvian boldness and Japanese precision — true Nikkei cuisine — meets the laid-back beauty of tropical Far North Queensland. The menu is a vibrant journey through fresh seafood, share plates and full-flavoured mains, all crafted from beautiful local produce and served without fuss in a setting as breezy and inviting as the sea breeze itself. When it comes to drinks, the list is built for easy afternoons and unhurried evenings — crafted cocktails, boutique wines and cold Hemingway's beer on tap, all enjoyed against a backdrop of stunning waterfront views.
