Splash ★★☆

Splash is a seafood restaurant located on the Esplanade in Cairns city. This waterfront restaurant specialises in seafood with various options ranging from fresh oysters to the more uncommon fish such as mahi mahi. Great dining environment with the ocean close by, but food is average. Portions are on the smaller side and dishes are definitely pricey.
Half dozen of oysters $23 (mixed) Flamed – Ponzu, Aioli and Wakame Seaweed |
Not usually a fan of oysters but this mix of ponzu and aioli made the oyster very tasty. A clean yet flavoursome result. ★★★☆
Mornay – Baked with Bechamel Sauce and Cheese
Just tasted like a cream and cheese sauce mix ★★★
Battered Bug Tails $24 with Grilled Lemon and Sriracha Sauce |
Way too much batter was used. The actual bug tail didn’t have much flavour ★★
Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi $35 with Sweet Potato Mash, Bok Choy and Sweet Roasted Capsicum Sauce |
The macadamia crust gave it a good crunch, but the mahi mahi itself was a bit flavourless and dry. Small portion too ★★☆
Cajun King Threadfin $29 with Warm Kiplfer Potato, Capsicum, Red Onion and Avocado Salad, Orange Butter Sauce and Coconut Aioli |
Loved the cool tower salad! Refreshing and creamy flavours in there too! Fish was average. ★★★☆
