Expect to find the best coffee and fresh quality, café-style fare with flair at Café Matteo on Anderson Street in Manunda. This well-loved local Cairns eatery is a modern space, thoughtfully converted from a former squash court, retaining the original timber floors and warehouse feel for a café that is both comfortable and inviting. Order a brew of choice to go with breaky tempters like baked eggs, fire-roasted peppers, chorizo, spinach, spicy Napoli sauce and grilled ciabatta; or crushed avocado, lemon, ricotta, toasted rye, rocket, tomato, radish, broccoli, eggs and toasted almonds. Lunch offerings are just as delicious – think a baked potato with tuna, mayo and cucumber, or housemade chicken korma curry in creamy coconut and almond sauce, with turmeric rice, papadums and mango chutney.
