dinner

Gin Social at the Hilton, situated in Cairns city centre, welcomes you with a polished, easygoing atmosphere suited to the tropics. The kitchen focuses on the coast and hinterland, allowing Far North Queensland to shine through bright citrus, native botanicals, and clean flavours.

Plates balance freshness with a hint of adventure. Start with salt and pepper crocodile enhanced by lime aioli and crispy sage, or FNQ market fish paired with lemon myrtle tartare. The social spirit is reflected in shareable soft shell tacos and mini sliders.

Hearty favourites include charred pumpkin salad with lemon myrtle yoghurt, and sticky pork belly drenched in a tropical glaze with a side of Asian slaw. For the finale, the coconut panna cotta with passionfruit, lime, and mint captures the essence of a holiday.

This spot offers dining designed for conversation and grazing, whether you share plates or keep them to yourself. Book a table, savour the sunshine on a plate, and let the good times be gin.
