Great food, great settings and great service.

Oliver's - Australian Fine Cuisine is located in the centre of Cairns, at the corner of Spence and Abbott Street, diagonally across from the Reef Casino. The owner of this elegant little boutique restaurant is Mr. Oliver Schreiber. His quest to create a haven for food and wine lovers has been achieved when Oliver's first opened its doors on 04 August 2006. Attention to detail, love of good food and wines, exquisite service and hospitality prevail throughout every aspect of this restaurant. Oliver's offers modern Australian cuisine that utilises fresh Australian ingredients, including traditional Aboriginal produce, combined with European and Asian cooking techniques. The head chef Mr. David Bres is French. His remarkable career includes some of the finest 2 and 3 Michelin Star awarded restaurants in Europe. There are three dining areas to choose from: Outside along the Spence Street footpath to enjoy a cool breeze from the sea, across the open kitchen to watch the master chefs at work, or in the gorgeous courtyard decorated with hanging plants and an antique carved timber framed mirror. A sliding door to the courtyard can offer the privacy suitable for a small wedding party or function. The a la carte menu changes every 6 weeks following the seasons and seasonal produce. Try David's renowned 5 course degustation set menu and Oliver's choice of 5 complimenting glasses of fine wines. Typical signature dishes are the Emu and caramelised shallots rillette served with Yakajirri tomato jelly and bush herbs terrine or the prime beef fillet with a crust of macadamia nuts and rosella jam or coral trout fillet steamed in seaweed vapour, served on braised lotus. A typical dessert could be a chilled tropical fruit soup flavoured with mountain pepper and hibiscus, served with fruit confit and bunya nut biscuit. Oliver's offers a fine wine list with typical representatives of Australia's finest wines in all price ranges. Oliver's opens for dinner Monday to Saturday from 18:00 and can be booked for exclusive functions up to 75 guests. Sunday is usually a day of rest, but can be made available for private functions. The restaurant is not open for lunch with the exception of private functions.
