About Dundee's on the Waterfront
Dundee's on the Waterfront is a locally owned seafood and steak restaurant at 1 Marlin Parade, at street level beneath the Cairns Harbourlights building. It sits right beside the Reef Fleet Terminal, a short stroll from the Esplanade Lagoon, and looks across Trinity Inlet to the rainforest ranges. Groups have three areas to choose from. The private dining room seats 26, the air-conditioned indoor room takes 45, and the covered alfresco deck along the boardwalk holds up to 250 for larger dinners. Function menus are set menus with a choice of dishes at each course. Two-course lunches start at $35 per person, and dinner menus run from $69 to $105 per person. The kitchen leans on local seafood and Tablelands beef, with native dishes such as crocodile and kangaroo on the regular menu. Set menus are for groups of 20 or more adults, and parties of 50 or more are served alternate drop. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices are offered, and a children's menu is available for younger guests at family events. Welcome drinks, tea and coffee, linen tablecloths and napkins, and simple themed table runners for birthdays, anniversaries and baby showers can be added at a small charge per guest. Guests can supply their own celebration cake, with a $2.50 per person charge for cutting and serving it. The events team looks after birthdays, baby showers, hens and bucks dinners, graduation meals, wedding receptions, corporate lunches and end-of-year parties.
