Welcome to the home of melt-in-your-mouth steaks and big, exotic African flavours.

The tropical climate and rich Australian soil are just part of what goes into every unforgettable piece of Waterbar meat. Each steak is enhanced with a special baste developed in house and flame grilled to order.

We do it this way to ensure tenderness and flavour are the crowning moments of each dish that leaves the pass. 

But why
are the steaks
so prestigious?

"BY FAR THE BEST STEAK I'VE EVER HAD"

I’m a chef myself and I’ve eaten a lot of steak in my life but this was by far the best steak I’ve ever had. Everything about our meal was perfect and there was so much taste in everything.

The Venue

Perched on the large undercover deck of The Pier Cairns centre,

the restaurant gazes directly over to the East Trinity Summit

and shimmering Marlin Marina.

Fancy a cool waterfront breeze as you lap up FNQ's finest fare? 
Or perhaps your dream date involves an undisturbed sunset falling over the mountains?

Whichever it is, you're in the right place.
