GiGi Bar Restaurant

Tucked into the Collins Avenue dining precinct in Edge Hill, Cairns, GiGi Bar Restaurant is a luxurious Mediterranean-style, elegant boutique address with a thoughtful wine list and a shared menu bearing a strong Greek accent. Designed for lingering evenings and grown-up conversation, it sets the scene for convivial, grown-up dining.

The kitchen favours clean, sun-warmed flavours: think Porcini & Truffle Ravioli - ricotta filling, Dianne sauce, rocket & hazelnut pesto; Risotto Osso Buco alla Milanese style, saffron butter, bone marrow and Lamb cutlet Pistacchio-crumbed, lime mayo. From the grill come Greek Sausage Souvlaki skewer, tzatziki and Saganaki cheese with lemon, oregano, red wine grape chutney, honey, while small plates span a trio of dips (tzatziki, hummus, baba ghanoush) plus the refreshing watermelon salad and the GiGi Salad.

To finish, chocolate & hazelnut fondant, or there is a Ricotta Cheesecake with pink peppercorn, lime & tequila syrup. With an extremely thoughtful wine list to match, GiGi promises an elegant, unhurried night out. Those in the know will book a table, share generously and let the evening unfurl, one golden bite at a time.
