Just one year old, Piato has quickly become a favourite for locals and visitors to the stunning tropical north. On the Pier Marina in Cairns, fresh, homestyle cooking does not come much better than this. All the best and freshest ingredients are used to create lip-smacking Mediterranean cuisine. Seafood freshly hauled from the Coral Sea, local barramundi, Moreton Bay bugs and Australian king prawns are all on offer, but the menu extends beyond just seafood. Pasta, juicy steaks, lamb, chicken and other daily specials all deliver on taste. The Mediterranean banquet for two is a crowd favourite. It is almost more than you can eat so be sure to visit Piato on an empty stomach. The hospitality is all-embracing, and the restaurant boasts a stunning view out to the boats, the sparkling waters and the luscious green hills beyond. Piato really is the full package. It is little wonder this Mediterranean diner bustles with happy diners the minute the kitchen opens its doors and welcomes them in.
