Makin Dough, Smithfield Village
Go straight for the spinach and ricotta calzone.

-
Govinda's Yummies, Rusty's Market
Highly sought after Govinda’s samosas at Rusty’s Market.
Line up on Fridays and Saturdays (early) to be lucky enough to score a Govinda’s samosa before they are sold out.
Hint. Spinach and Cheese
-
Osmosis Kitchen, Edge Hill
My favourite, the Margherita pizza.
-
Il Forno Pizzeria, Palm Cove
Great pizza, enhanced by a warm tropical night view across the Coral Sea at Palm Cove.
Dining out needn’t cost a fortune.
Here, the author of Coffee in Cairns offers his personal favourite dining out in Cairns options - from Govinda’s $4 samosas to $20 something pizzas and scrumptious Indonesian food al fresco at Bagus Cafe.
No visit to Cairns would be complete without dropping in to Rusty’s Market. Open Friday to Sunday, the fresh produce farmers market is an icon in Cairns.
The scent of the the locally-grown fresh produces wafts through the stalls; the atmosphere is vibrant and inspiring.
Light and affordable meals are abundant. Tropical fruit is a feast for the eyes. Coffee options include Billy’s Coffee, Barista Sista and Annee’s Caphe Sua Da Vietnamese iced coffee.
Hint: Savour the most delicious and nutritious juice of sugar cane, freshly squeezed on demand - discover the stall at the northern end of the market, street-side on Sheridan Street.
