I am so glad a prompt to review this place came through after our visit, though I wouldn't have forgotten.
We booked quite a while before we visited and had a great, easy experience communicating some allergies and birthday requests for my partner with Craig from the restaurant - exceptionally helpfully guy.
Upon arriving the staff had all the information about the booking and everything was perfect - we were having the degustation with paired wines. It's not something either of us have ever done before so we didn't quite know what to expect.
My eyes have been opened to a world of possibility around food and wine. The food, the wine, and the pairings were PERFECT. After this experience, I actually want to go and do a wine pairing class and learn how this secret science works.
The staff were friendly, engaging, have us background on ever dish and bottle of wine, honestly the whole team at Ochre made it a really special experience for my partner and we couldn't have asked for anything better.
Do not be that guy that visits Cairns and doesn't eat at Ochre.
A+, 100%, I wish I could give more stars
