The Backyard

The Backyard is a casual all-day dining venue on the first floor of Pier Point Road in Cairns City. Set beside a tropical garden and swimming pool, it combines an easygoing atmosphere with contemporary food and a choice of indoor, garden and poolside seating. The setting suits a range of occasions, from a relaxed morning meal to an unhurried lunch or casual drinks.

The menu focuses on fresh Australian produce and seasonal flavours, with a varied selection intended to suit different tastes. The approach is contemporary rather than formal, and the venue’s casual dress code fits its relaxed setting. Breakfast is available daily, including a buffet, while all-day dining covers later meals and lighter visits throughout the day.

Seating is arranged across several distinct areas. The indoor dining space provides a comfortable option for meals, while the garden surrounds offer a greener setting close to the pool. Poolside seating adds to the laid-back character, particularly for guests combining food with refreshments. The nearby Pool Bar operates within the same area and serves cocktails and other refreshing drinks during the day.

The Backyard works for visitors looking for a flexible dining stop rather than a formal restaurant occasion. Breakfast provides a straightforward start to the day, while the all-day menu accommodates longer lunches, casual bites and drinks. The mix of seating also allows guests to choose between a more conventional table indoors and a relaxed outdoor position near the garden or pool.

Families are catered for through children’s dining arrangements, and both hotel guests and walk-in visitors can use the venue. A designated smoking area is provided. With its seasonal focus, Australian produce, casual presentation and poolside surroundings, The Backyard offers a practical dining option within Cairns City for breakfast, daytime meals and informal drinks.
